You are dead on with you analysis. The Broderick /camera crew aspect was weak and needed to be tweaked or reduced and Jean Reno... as Gymfig would say, he has "IT" I'm a big fan. His character should have been broadened. I realize that would never happen because this was an American Blockbuster and that would be breaking on of their cardinal rules. I liked this better than the old sixties Godzillas as well. Despite the fact that I complain about Abrams, I think he and the team he assembled could pull it off. However, if he succeeds, be forewarned. We will be bombarded with bad copies left and right
