I think I've been spoiled by the masterpiece that was Godzilla minus one. Going back to this ultra generic brainless 0 story nonsense is just disappointing. I don't expect a great story but the dialogue was so bad and the story so pointless I almost wanted the humans dead so I didn't have to listen to them. Several Uber generic rehashed MCU jokes that weren't even funny. I love Godzilla and the monster verse started off great with Brian Cranston and that first Godzilla film but since then it's just slowly gotten worse imo. Like I said, I knew this would be dumb and I went in with low expectations but left feeling almost insulted at how ridiculous and stupid it was. I hate to say it because I love the idea of Godzilla movies.

The previous Narcos series are some of my favorites in the entire Netflix catalogue but this was a bit of a let down. Felt like it lacked the intensity, story and suspense of some of the previous series. Sofia Vergara seemed like she put her all into the role and I admire the attempt but several critical scenes just weren't that believable and just didn't really win me over. I'm not a critic or well versed in what makes an actor/actress great but she just didn't do it for me. There was also a pretty healthy dose of social messaging about the battle between genders that I easily could have done without. So overall, subpar storytelling, acting and a bit of social messaging that really had me just about ready to turn it off after a few episodes. I will say, the last two episodes were my favorite and kept me from saying it was a complete waste of time.

As a movie this was pretty awful imo. Very few scenes had any emotional impact whatsoever due to poor plot and character development. Great action and visuals. A few mild laughs here and there but after that it really has little to offer. Maybe a good excuse to do something with the family/friends and eat some popcorn. The post credits scene was probably the best scene of the entire movie if we're being honest. Some of the characters/heroes I didn't feel anything for and the villain borderline just appears out of nowhere in the second half of the movie. If you want a good movie this isn't it... if you want some brainless action that looks great I'll due.
