   Lots of problems with Godzilla 2014....I liked it when I saw in the theater,   
   but watching the Blu-Ray, the flaws were so obvious, and fatal.    
      
   The main issue I had with it -  the myopic focus on Brody and his family.  The   
   story labored mightily to involve every single Brody in the action, or put   
   them in peril, etc.    Stretched suspension of disbelief to the breaking   
   point.  It made me think of    
   Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Infinite Improbability Drive;   was   
   like someone was running the I.I.D. at various points in the film.   
      
   And there were enough plot holes to drive a bus through.
