As the next monster film that director Ishiro Honda worked on after the original Godzilla, hopes we're incredibly high. Unfortunately, despite inklings of an interesting story about man versus nature and the human propensity to disturb the natural order of things, the entire film is just fraught with uninteresting characters, drawn out boring sections with little going on, and even a dash of prejudice thrown in resulting in the film's ultimate ban in Japan.

Instead, the film crumbles under this pressure and ends up a shockingly dull film compared to its predecessor.
To be clear, not everything is horrible about this entry…

Is past years it has been The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. This year, it's Harry Potter. For a film to be about wizards and witches, mythical beasts and mysterious secrets, it has to have a charm to it. The first Harry Potter film lives or dies based…
