The movie does look cool, but really the high-concept itself is what sells it. A mega-budget movie featuring giant monsters vs giant mech robots? Duh. Only someone like Stephen Sommers could screw that up.
GDT is a great filmmaker, and that's what excites me most. But this is the easiest sell in the world. It's just too obvious for me to assign Second Coming status to it. And I'm still left hoping the monsters and robots get more (or at least as much) screen time as the human characters.
You're such a debbie-downer! Jeez!
