4/10
A shameful attempt on all fronts
27 August 2019
I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan. I hated 2014's "Godzilla" and frankly had very low expectations for this sequel. I was still somehow disappointed. The washed out look of this film, the halfhearted dialogue and storyline, the bland slate of actors lined up for this movie - which appears to have been marketing primarily to less-critical audiences in China.

This is a new minimum-standard in moviemaking. They go through all the predictable motions. No charm whatsoever. In stark contrast to the recent Japanese-made "Shin Godzilla" which was very enjoyable.

I want to call out the male lead in this film. He seems to appear in every movie like this, makes the exact same stupid face and tries to act emphatic. Blah!

Tojo should be careful about licensing their treasured character to fly-by-night cheeseball movie studios. Otherwise they could permanently tarnish the brand.
