Take one classic film property, set it in a new but well establish cinematic setting, add an overcrowded A-list cast, smother it with photorealistic CGI, dump it all in a blender set on high - and you get a schizophrenic hodgepodge that still manages to be the best giant monster movie of the last 40 years.
