Another reviewer stated that GKotM “Reaffirms that cutting-edge effects are still no substitute for a good story.” Did they watch the same movie I did? Because I had a completely different experience. It relies on special effects for substance, but I’m getting really tired of movies that do this (I’m looking at you, Jurassic World). I went into it knowing it would be two hours of big CGI monsters fighting (duh), but what really got to me was the eye-rollingly stupid dialogue and forced plot devices. All of the characters should have sacrificed themselves in order to save the movie going public from a sequel (which unfortunately is on the table, if you stayed long enough to watch the post-credits scene). Look, I know this is just a movie, but for me it was a tipping point. Almost all of the movies that I’ve seen over the last couple of years have been terrible. I love movies, but I feel like I’m constantly disappointed with these soulless, lifeless cash grabs. And you know what? Hollywood knows that I’ll always come back for more. Ugh.
