Search: Directed by Roland Emmerich

Entirely constructed from flaws, it's in a class with Ultraviolet.

Never fear, the requisite monuments duly get what's coming to them.

If Emmerich doesn't quite hit all his targets dead-on, he should at least be commended for trying to take his career and chosen genre down a less obvious route while remaining crowd-pleasing.

A decent concept and incredibly impressive special effects are irreparably jolted by a shoddy script, one-dimensional plot and sluggish pace.

As big liz flicks go, Godzilla delivers the goodies.

What is required is not another helicopter in flames.

The new blood get to run around saving the world in a largely unremarkable fashion.

The film is simplistic to the point of absurdity.

Once the explosions begin to kick in the film concentrates on Tatum and Foxx on the run - an easy-going and watchable pairing that displays real chemistry.
