Shin Gojira (2016)
Japan is plunged into chaos upon the appearance of a giant monster.
Likeable resurgence of the original Godzilla monster successfully combines old-fashioned and modern digital effects, but is quite talkative and without much of a focus on a central cast.
On rewatching: indeed quite talkative, but the monster scenes are grand.

Big Ass Spider! (2013)
A giant alien spider escapes from a military lab and rampages the city of Los Angeles. When a massive military strike fails, it is up to a team of scientists and one clever exterminator to kill the creature before the city is destroyed.
Tongue-in-cheek monster movie spoof is funny and good-natured, but highly predictable; entertaining, though, for what it is.
