I don't want to ruin anything for those who haven't seen it, but one of the biggest problems I had with it was that they gave us a good look at the monster. I know that this wont be the popular consensus for most audience goers, but I thought the monster was much cooler/scarier when seen in small doses.
I guess it goes without saying that this type of movie requires a willing suspension of disbelief. The main character's motivation for wanting to venture through Manhattan while it's being demolished by a giant beast is just plain stupid, but without it there wouldn't be much of a movie, would there?
Anyways. I really enjoyed it. 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.

i see you've boldly gone with the "4-star" reviewing system. you and Ebert are real trailblazers. a lesser man would simply use his thumbs...unless they were broken. are your thumbs ok erock? have you been playing dodgeball recently?
