3 stars (Good Enough) Whilst it lacks the charm of the 1950's monsters the special effects are impressive. You can't sympathise with the robotic human characters so you might end up cheering for Godzilla. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) Devastating satire of failed attempts to deal with disaster, spiced up with a grotesque body-horror take on Godzilla. Watch bureaucrats argue over which meeting room to use while Tokyo is destroyed. ~Pearce

2 stars (Good Try) This movie is more like Godzilla meet West Wing. Lots of politics and light on monster action. If you like Godzilla action, watch another Godzilla movie instead. ~Anon
