Great Godzilla action, but little soul

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2019)

This is the quintessential American blockbuster, for better and for worse. It sports amazing visuals and CG, but it really lacks on character development and psychology. While I sort of enjoyed the unexpectedly logical choices by the military (who, shockingly, aren't evil and don't confuse friends for foes), I was bummed by the titular monster's little screen time, which relegates him to an awesome secondary character. Overall, not stellar but a decent reboot for the franchise.
