So I went offline before the embargo lifted. Wanted to watch the movie blind and go in with zero expectations and I did. Had no idea what its reception was until after I saw it.
That said, I thought the movie was decent but nothing special. Good action, SFX, acting, and never drags. I thought it was an improvement over Apocalypse, better X3 and Origins. So I’m kinda shocked that it’s RT meter is below Origins. I did have a feeling that this was going to be another Godzilla 2 where it has good social media reaction but not good critical reception.
Btw, I called who Jessica Chastin was playing months ago.
The problem with this movie is that its rushed and too short. The aliens wanting to use the power of Phoenix is barely developed. They did way more with them in the original cut than here where they are just here to provide a cool action set piece.
