User blog comment:Embow/Gareth Edwards leaves Godzilla 2/@comment-4600455-20160514171759

I don't see how either of the two recent news stories about this film are bad in any way. So what if the film is being put back another year? It allows them to spend more time making both that film and Godzilla vs. Kong, and gives the movie a better chance in the cinemas, as it would be up against Jurassic World 2 and whatever the next rubbish Transformers movie is called. It would not stand a chance against those two movies.

As for the director, I'm happy they are getting a new one in. Gareth Edwards is not a good director when it comes to monster movies. Monsters is an awful film, and I have no idea why they chose him to do a Godzilla movie. The 2014 Godzilla movie isn't the worst film ever, but it could have been so much better under a different director.

Him leaving the directors chair for Godzilla 2 is a good thing.
