Godzilla: King of the Monsters

I don't now quite what I was expecting here - but this really fails to deliver on any front. Matthew Broderick and Jean Reno probably did the best recent version of this back in 1998 and this isn't a patch on that. The special effects are spectacular, but not in any particularly innovative way - and the monsters just keep coming like every kid in the class got to design one (and it was a big class!). There isn't much writing to speak of and the cast might as well just have stayed in bed. The action scenes are lengthy and repetitive and I was, frankly, quite bored by the whole thing after half an hour.
