About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a unique Godzilla entry with a serious tone, espionage tangles, and standout creature showdowns; Not for you if you dislike talky stretches or convoluted subplots, like in The War of the Gargantuas.
Pros: imaginative new monster; entertaining monster battles; strong creature effects | Cons: too much human subplot; uneven pacing; silly spy antics
