Watch Godzilla (1998) instead

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2018)

A huge monster terrorizes NYC. The End. Except we're given no backstory as to how the monster came to be like in Godzilla. A monster suddenly appears and the military tries to kill it. As an extra special bonus, the first 15 or 20 minutes of the movie is nothing but 21 year old drama that doesn't further the plot whatsoever. All you need to know is guy #1 is with girl #1 and guy #2 is with girl #2. It doesn't matter that somebody is moving to Japan or somebody likes a different girl. Nothing matters. Think of any horror movie with an "attacker". We know the origin of Freddy, Jason, Michael Meyers, even the piranhas, (as stupid as that movie was). Something doesn't just show up and start killing people randomly (except Jaws, which shouldn't even be mentioned along with this movie). Just because it's shot on a hand held cam doesn't give it any credibility. It's been done before and it doesn't automatically make something creative or revolutionary. I can't say enough bad things about this "movie". It's like a 5 year old wrote a story. Seriously, Anaconda is better!
