There's a certain segment of the movie-going audience...the low-budget sci-fi and Japanese rubber monster fans...who are going to go ape over this and consider it a masterpiece.
Trouble is, it ISN'T a low-budget movie. It's reportedly a $190 million budget movie. And there simply aren't enough of those fans to make this profitable.
The script is pretty basic, but the action is good. Lots of great visuals. Ron Perlman's character is by far the best part. Too bad they didn't just make a movie around him.
