Godzilla

(2014-05-19)

Why do people even try to write reviews about movies like this? There are three things which will inevitably happen:

• the critics will say it is a typical, boring summer action movie;
• the fans will say it isn't a worthy successor to examples of the genre which have come before; and
• it will make gobs of money at the box office.

So never having seen one of these before(*), I think I can say I liked it. It was thin all around but the monsters were the circumstances of the movie, not the focus, and I think I liked that just fine. What do you want? It is a big lizard smashing things.
