Very disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (27 September 2014)

I loved the 1998 version and was looking forward to this one. Boy was I disappointed. Very little of the actual monster and I found that many scenes were too dark to see or obstructed by smoke and dust to make out what was really happening. Definitely an anti-nuclear spin to it. I found that it was all over the map, literally and figuratively. I found it difficult to follow at times and it didn't help that visually it was hard to make out due to the darkness/little lighting. I am a fan of monster movies but this one left me feeling cheated. The acting was OK, and it was great seeing Bryan Cranston perform. The scenery in the south pacific was nice (during the daytime), but that's really all I can say in a positive light.
