Thoughts
I honestly don’t know where to begin with this. I thought the previous Godzilla film was bad but this was absolute nonsense. Firstly, it has a fundamental problem in that all the humans in it are making terrible choices from start to finish and so it’s hard to feel sorry for them. Secondly, so much monster on monster action, and last film Godzilla was the hero but now he’s the big bad? So confused.
Thirdly, whilst I quite liked the Scooby Doo gang going round investigating something, they literally had no bearing on the plot whatsoever. And elsewhere, so many plot holes and SO MANY QUESTIONS. I wasn’t aware of the Screen Rant pitch meeting videos before but this is so perfect it really is all the things wrong with this movie. Where DOES the light source come from?
The previous one was just a bit nonsensical and dull. This one actively makes me angry just thinking about it.
