Guys...

This is the same old movie made from the same mold. It's no different from a Godzilla movie from 50 years ago or from some of the worst Jurassic Park sequels. The build-up is very slow, the creatures design is copied and pasted. There's a trite and useless family sub-plot, make no mistake.
Some months ago I watched Cloverfield for the second time after ten years, and man, that was a terrifying, modern Kaiju movie. Years have passed, and they still make these old-school movies, all with the same plot. At least, the Godzilla from 1998 tried to stun the audience with updated effects, some (bad) humor and the "size matters" refrain. Instead, this work from Gareth Edwards is flat and dull even in the action scenes. I didn't like Edwards in his awful "Monsters", but this is even worse.
