Godzilla: 13 Moments That Prove It's The Stupidest Great Film Of 2014

11. The Stupidest Army Strategists In Cinema History

First we have the generals who ignore the fact that Godzilla basically shrugged off everything that was thrown at him in 1954 when the US Government attempted to obliterate him with a sustained, adaptible nuclear assault and decide that the best way to take both 'Zilla and the MUTOs down is to hurl as much of the stuff that they eat at them as possible, despite the inevitable cost in human collateral damage. Despite the admittedly half-baked arguments from Watanabe's self-anointed "expert" (based mostly on the fact that his father was around during Hiroshima and left him a watch which should probably have been buried in concrete to stop the radiation poisoning), the Generals persist with a plan that fails on at least three occasions. And this is without so much as a hint or precedent that it might even work. And then there's the front-line strategy of the soldiers themselves who decide that the best way to take down a gigantic monster is to pepper it with tiny bullets that have no effect, and who react to a pitched battle scenario with the creatures by helpfully bunching together in bite-sized morsels, rather than seeking cover and using their only strength (of numbers) to any sort of advantage. To be perfectly honest, they all deserve to be eaten.
