My mind kept telling me that a real cargo ship wouldn't hold together well enough out of water for anything to club anything else over the head with it. I also kept wondering why, if guided missiles couldn't kill a monster, punching them in the face with several tons of metal would be an improvement.
And also, if there were any survivors on that boat before it was used to bash a monster, there sure weren't any afterwards. I guess wossisname learned his lesson about putting his life in danger to rescue civilian vessels. Nope, much better to use them as blunt weapons.
I also wondered why everybody in Hong Kong's dress sense had time warped back to the 1960s. And why they were speaking the wrong dialect of Chinese. And why, if a monster destroyed the city at some point, and we rebuilt it with completely unrecognizable and far more exotic architecture, we'd keep our "pedestrian precinct" road signs exactly the same.
I also wondered whether the cheesy dialogue would be any more believable if the whole movie (and by that I mean the human characters) were animated. And I decided no, probably not.
