While I agree that the story and character motivation in the movie was lacking, and I agree the story could have been handled a lot better, I DO NOT AGREE with the critic reviews for this movie. Let me ask one simple question, when has anyone EVER cared about the story of a Godzilla movie? Do you watch a Godzilla movie for the story, character motivation and deep plot? NO! You come for the action, the awesome scenes of Godzilla taking on monsters. That is why Godzilla 2014 got such bad press, because it lacked action and had TOO much human interaction. This movie, I believe, juggles those two factors somewhat evenly. This movie has WAY more monster scenes than any other Godzilla movie I have ever watched. The visuals were beautiful, the music (old and new compositions) was fantastic, and the entire movie is a roller coaster to the end. Critics don't like this movie because it lacked character motivation, but people hated Godzilla 2014 because it had TOO much character motivation. JUST DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT! This movie is a monster blockbuster first, and an Oscar nominee second. Do you really expect a Godzilla movie to have AWESOME character drama? NO! You expect it to have huge scenes of monsters fighting to the death! And this movie accomplishes that. One of the best movies of 2019 so far, high above Booksmart and Dark Phoenix AND ESPECIALLY ALADDIN.

This movie is absolutely dreadful. While the pacing is fine and the cinematography is okay, the acting and overall message of the movie is complete and utter nonsense. The main character "Kit" is an unlikable brat/snob who thinks the whole world owes her something just because she doesn't feel "accepted" (kinda sounds like the actress playing her, wonder if Brie also likes to paint). She refuses to grow up and be an adult, which is represented by the fact that she still lives with her parents and refuses to get a decent job, and when she does, she blows it because of her immaturity. Samuel Jackson is alright, however I just feel bad that such a great actor was pulled into this mess. The message of the film is to ignore becoming an adult and GROWING UP AS BEFITS YOUR AGE and just act like a child your entire life. After all, welfare is there to help you out. Oh and also there is a unicorn in it, but that doesn't even matter because the point of the movie is to be true to yourself EVEN if that makes others miserable, and that you don't have to grow up, and that men, specifically white men, are always trying to put you down. I mean seriously the main"antagonists" (if you can even call them that) are both white men who probably pissed Bri- I mean "Kit" off by saying Wrinkle In Time was bad. Both the art teacher and the company boss are white men, can you see the message being displayed? Also I don't think Brie even had to act in this movie, she probably just had to act like herself and read her lines, however she did have to avoid saying "I am the strongest Avenger, I play Captain Marvel, I am best" through the whole film, since "Kit" and Brie are DEFINITELY NOT the same person. Anyways, this movie was horrible, I am not trying to be mean. As an actress I think Brie Larson is pretty good, I loves her in "Room." But as a person, as a director, as a ROLE MODEL, I think that she is just digging herself a deeper hole in the ground every time she opens her mouth. But anyways, this movie is bad, and I am glad that a lot of people have spoken out against it.
