I did really like a lot about this flick, and I'd see the next Godzilla and Mothra and what have you... but I have to say, this just shows why the original and the Peter Jackson ones are classic (yeah, even with the racism). Those have real goddamn storytelling and emotion. Here, they give us some fantastic visuals and tension and all of the shit in my subject line-- but the story and the emotion aren't there. They just took a ton of really cool ideas and mushed them together instead of really fleshing them out on screen. Which is kind of a shame.

Still, they better give me a goddamn Mothra movie.
