Godzilla's a complete and utter creative misfire until it lets loose in the last half-hour. Edwards, in his own words, treated Godzilla like the great white from Jaws, which entirely misunderstands how human psychology works and its relation to cinema. It borders on a visual masterpiece, but between the human characters being shit and the misunderstanding of what made Jaws fundamentally terrifying, it's kinda just a semi-memorable piece of visual splendor and little more.
Luckily, Star Wars has a proper creative team, so that could negate that kind of baffling miscalculation. Plus, as with anything, one creative misfire isn't necessarily indicative of a pattern, though it's too soon to tell with Gareth.
