More CGI bombast over human elements this time in 'Godzilla Minus Zero'

IMDB ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’(Rated R for some violent content/bloody images. Opens in theaters on Nov-ember 6.)The premise: Two years have passed since the events of “Godzilla Minus One” and Japan is finally starting to return to a sense of normalcy. However, a lethal new threat appears that could destroy the fragile peace forever.The verdict: It’s not fair to complain that ‘Godzilla Minus Zero,” the sequel to writer-director Takashi Yamazaki’s dramatic, emotional and hugely successful relaunch of the monster franchise, isn’t as good as its predecessor. That’s because when it comes to Godzilla movies, “Minus One” was one of the greatest ever made — an impossibly high bar to clear — so the follow up pales in comparison because it’s “merely” pretty good.The visual effects are still terrific, although there’s a lot more CGI bombast over the human elements this time around.
