First impression: This looks like a quirky comedy about a woman (Anne Hathaway) who discovers she’s the force behind a giant monster that’s terrifying Seoul. Reality: This is indeed a peculiar scenario, but it’s never funny and not very good. Comic actor Justin Sudeikis also figures prominently in the story and he doesn’t crack one joke. This is a dreary drama about lost love that magnifies the conflict thru giant beasts. The concept is compelling, but the dark, angry attitude and sluggish pace override the quirky appeal. The holes in the logic don’t help its case.
