Why do people even try to write reviews about movies like this? There are three things which will inevitably happen:
- the critics will say it is a typical, boring summer action movie;
- the fans will say it isn't a worthy successor to examples of the genre which have come before; and
- it will make gobs of money at the box office.
So never having seen one of these before(*), I think I can say I liked it. It was thin all around but the monsters were the circumstances of the movie, not the focus, and I think I liked that just fine. What do you want? It is a big lizard smashing things.
(*= Jenn has proven to me that I have seen the Broderick one, I have just blotted it out of my memory.)
