Last movie you watched, and your critique of it

RE: Last movie you watched, and your critique of it

If you want to be a movie about two forces of nature clashing, then stop telling me all about them and let them linger in mystery. If you want to be a disaster movie then be that, but don't try to be all of those things at once. It's just a cock tease.

By the time the finale came around I was sitting in my seat silently hoping that the movie wouldn't cut away to something else again, and just let me enjoy the action. It's great action, looks cool and appropriately weighty, but it's all just... over too fast, including the ending that managed to be both rushed and unbearably slow at the same time. Not to mention cheeseball.

Underneath all the writerly bullshit there's a good movie, but it just employs too many cheap tricks and shitty sleights of hand for me to properly enjoy it. I was so hyped for this one, and though I did like it, I can see the seams of the plot too much to wholeheartedly recommend it.

Damn, I was expecting big things from this... looks like I'll have to settle for the old kaiju movies instead.
