Stay-Puft Marshmellow man was scarrier.

I think it's further proof (like we needed that after Mathew Broderick's example) that big budget + Kaiju= Bad movie. The monster was just goofy looking and less threatening than Jet Jaguar. One of the great strengths of the genre is that the movies have a message, this was just a bunch of tweens running around with a camera, being the dumb asses they are. Well, that plus it's painfully slow start makes getting into it, well, let's just say I'm glad the phone rang right as I started watching the movie. Kinda like having to suffer through an episode of "Friends" so your girlfriend will let you watch a monster movie. Yes, the characters were all "Friends" clones. So don't expect anything intelligent from them. Even considering all other stupid things they did. I mean, really, even if you're going to accept their premises, why is it even after being attacked and running through a military field hospital, no one even thought to grab at least a pistol to fend off the little ones that are going to make you explode? You don't grab a first aid kit because, you know, you're out to save your dying friend? But it's okay, it's only movie dying, once you get to her check point, she's okay. What really pisses me off is that there really was no "movie" to this movie. It's just a collection of different random events chronologically sequenced. There's no "meat" to the story.
