both gloriously stupid & just stupid stupid, but king of the monsters is one of the worst movies i've ever seen & this definitely isn't. a few genuinely cool conceptual bits (the ghidorah skull room!!!) & action beats, & bad try-hard characters/grating "humor". and, yet again, most everything with humans in it feels like coverage shots

unnerving beyond belief, holy hell

means well but by the time Marta is referred to as kind or good for the 15th time, they've ensured she feels less like a person & more like a symbol for The Perfect Immigrant. neither funny enough or dramatic enough to really engage

i think maybe movies peaked with this movie
