  1. Very well done/. The lead is a bit wooden–hope he’s not around for the sequel, but thats the only flaw I found. BTW, all the Godzilla films spend the first half of the movie on whatever creatures big G is gonna fight, so this movie’s approach is in keeping with the franchise and its tradition. Still, ADHD reviewers and fans want nothing but non stop mayhem, so they slam this film without understanding the context of the franchise’s history. Personally I loved it and am heading back for a second view.
