Good monsters, bad story.

There is a storytelling failure mode where absurd fantastical stuff is juxtaposed with high gravitas character acting that creates a truly campy effect (failed seriousness). You need stylized acting like Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park. Not a Vera Farmigia treating it Oscar-style.

MCU and the Nolan Batman movies struck the right kind of stylized note. DCEU and this MonsterVerse don’t. Though King Kong kinda got it right with Jack Black. He’s like Goldblum, a fundamentally comic-bookish actor.

Why do I do these things? Because I don’t believe in living an optimized life.

I have sympathy for the folks who have to make blockbuster reboots these days. They probably know it’s weak. But either there’s protocol to follow, a career to be moved, or they are so lost in the discipline that they see a different movie than we do. Would be a great doc series.
