Not quite a good movie per say as many plot threads just irritate the hell out of me. On the other hand, if you switch off your brain, there are cheesy fun to be had especially to younger viewers. It could have been a lot worse and under no circumstances would even compare this to the original JP. There are just byproducts of different time and the original helmed by the one and only SPIELBERG, while this one by an indie director making his first big studio effort. Just two different class of film direction altogether.
At bare minimum it's a more enjoyable movie than Godzilla as far as let them fight moment. Although the movie is at fault for using cliche story beats and inconsequential build ups, it does make an attempt to deliver bang for your bucks whereas the other box office champ just rehashing a manufactured formula. It's one of those movies I'll gladly buy on Blu-ray to keep my annoying brat occupied so I can have a peace of mind.
