I still like the movie, even if it’s just as troublesome as the Screen Junkies say. And now that I think about it, every single human character in this film, with the possible exception of Kick-Ass, really is superfluous to the story. Bryan Cranston doesn’t do anything to impact the plot. And Ken Watanbe’s character doesn’t make any sense. Where does he possibly get the theory that Godzilla is some kind of Earth defense system? How does that theory even form in his brain?!
