Je me suis dit entre deux avances rapides que quand même, ce machin pouvait bien valoir deux (deux **** points, oui, oui...) au moins pour la gamelle, pour les "effets spéciaux" et "les" monstres, car ô surprise, il y en a plusieurs...!

MaisJe me suis dit entre deux avances rapides que quand même, ce machin pouvait bien valoir deux (deux **** points, oui, oui...) au moins pour la gamelle, pour les "effets spéciaux" et "les" monstres, car ô surprise, il y en a plusieurs...!

Mais la quantité ne fait pas la qualité et ce scénar de nanar bricolé par quelques stagiaires qui ne devaient plus avoir toute leur tête (elle devait être au fond du cul, très certainement) ce scénar qui pue de fion donc, c'est juste pas possible... Surtout que par ailleurs, le film se traîne notablement (et assez lamentablement) délayé et dilué sur ses deux heures dix (!) à raconter ses conneries qui ne font -même- pas rire ! les acteurs et les actrices sont tellement mauvais qu'on dirait des clowns tristes qui viennent de marcher sur un rateau.

Quant au petit père Godzilla, on ne le voit que très peu au début, puis un petit peu plus... tout à la fin... et c'est tout ! il fait vraiment sa star et des caprices là, et c'est pas sympa du tout pour son public ! Bref, decidément en dessous de tout et au 36ème sous-sol de la nullité, ce Godzilla, ils peuvent se le mettre quelque part et s'asseoir dessus !… Expand

I'm a huge Godzilla fan since I was 3 years old. I've seen every movie they have made. I was so looking forward to this. Well I'll start with whats good. The monsters look good, They look more modern but still have their old feel. GodzillaI'm a huge Godzilla fan since I was 3 years old. I've seen every movie they have made. I was so looking forward to this. Well I'll start with whats good. The monsters look good, They look more modern but still have their old feel. Godzilla looks like Godzilla, Mothra like Mothra , King Ghedora like he is suppose to look. So I was happy with that. What very little monster fighting this movie had was ok. Every thing else sucks. The 2014 Godzilla movie was ok mainly due to Bryan Cranston who is a great actor and gave you some one to care about unfortunitly they killed him half through that movie and man was that a mistake. This movie really could have used him. I didn't care one bit for one person in this movie. Infact I hated them all outside of the one Japanese guy who was in the 2014 Godzilla movie who barely did any thing in this one. I was just so damn bored with this movie. the Human element was so god awful that I wanted to just get up and walk out of this pile of trash. The action was minimal. It did the same stupid thing Godzilla 2014 did. show you 10-20 seconds of action then go back to the boring human characters. I pay to see a Godzilla movie to see a bunch of giant monsters go at each other and I got less then the bare minimum. This was my number one want to see movie this year and I feel so let down. They got it so right with Kong Skull island. I felt so satisfied with that movie or some thing like the first Pacific Rim gave you plenty of Robot vs Monster action and if you were expecting any thing close to that ,you will be massively let down. Before this movie I couldn't wait for Godzilla vs King Kong but now I'm really doubtful on it.… Expand

I expected monster fighting WWE match, or at least something with weight like the 1st Pacific Rim movie. However, I got neither. There's barely any 'Titan' on scene. The movie is also poorly edited. It jump from one camera view to anotherI expected monster fighting WWE match, or at least something with weight like the 1st Pacific Rim movie. However, I got neither. There's barely any 'Titan' on scene. The movie is also poorly edited. It jump from one camera view to another every 0.2 seconds like it's a Jason Borne movie. Also whose idea is to always shoot the film at night? Fire that person and exile him from Earth now. I can barely see anything and half of the time I wonder if there's some error to the projector. It's like paying to see black screen.

The director lied "Godzilla got double time on scene compare to the 2014 one" and should be hold accountable. Well you can argue he didn't lie, but imagine this. There's Titan fight scene that last 60 seconds. The 1st 5 seconds is overview shot that show who will fight who and one of them throw the first punch. Then the next 45 seconds the camera switch to some dudes running around the fight, with occasionally glimpse of either titans' foot or tail that randomly enter the camera at the background. Then for the last 10 seconds the camera zoom out and show the winner and the other run away or die. Yeah in previous movie it's 30 seconds of full fight and other 30 seconds of characters doing other thing. But this time it's 60 seconds of fight that we barely see anything because the camera is from character POW and we mostly see buildings or cloud or what with a glimpse of the fight behind them. The 45 seconds that focus on character didn't even move the plot forward like the (2014) one.… Expand

Cant remember what is worse than this cringefest. Worst dialogs like it was written for 6 year olds, plot is utterly garbage and nothing in this movie makes any sense. No action of any character is believable or understandable. It's really like a 6 year old wrote the script just to glue together the special effects they wanted! You dont care about the action cause it's emotionless. Godzilla doesnt evolve or endure like he is in animes or other movies. You never feel with him cause he is just there and smashes stuff. There is no emotional connection to his doings or his story ever. Special Effects are meh.
We endured GoT Season 8, Aquaman, Ghostbuster 2016 and others but this movie goes straight to the top place of worst movie.
The beginning is also so unprofessional and I dont know how anyone whit a little bit of knowledge in cinematography could go with that.
Again dialogs in this movie have no substance and you never care what someone says cause it doesnt suit to any situation or support anything to make you believe anything!
Stay away from this movie and save your money.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie touches on the cliché subject that humans are the "disease" of our world. This idea is the whole driving force behind a woman/mom, that lost her son a few years ago, to simply murder billions of people and animals. This idea itself is ofcourse not totally undoable, for example "avengers infinity war" was able to pull it off perfectly. The problem lies within the character development of that woman. You could compare it with Albert Einstein trying to prove the earth is flat, it would just NEVER happen.

This made the movie totally unrealistic and that fact alone was enough to pull me completely out of the movie without ever getting back into it. All I could do was wonder who came up with such a sloppy excuse.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s hard to sift through this film for anything redeeming, but–gun to my head–I guess I could say that it’s a lot like The Meg in terms of Chinese production money, dialogue, tonal confusion, and the multiplicity of sacrificial suicide runs. Godzilla: King of the Monsters was the first film I saw with my dad since coming back home. We saw it opening night with a bunch of people who also craved the emotional abuse of throttled expectations. King of the Monsters has a lot of things wrong with it, but if we think of it as a sibling to The Meg, it will organize some of our criticism. On the point of Chinese production money, this is Wanda Qingdao’s first major film, but by all appearances its attempts to mass market this movie in China had all the same effects as every other Chinese production house: no sex, not even the acknowledgement of the existence of sexuality beyond the existence of children, no drugs, no smoking, no gore, not even papercuts, and the obligatory first scene shot in China. It gives the movie a washed out, thin feel, like someone left it in the dryer for too long and the lint trap is full of all the realism and emotional stakes instead of lint.

The dialogue, like The Meg, is consistently snarky, almost weirdly so, as if all the characters are jockeying to be low-key funny, even in situations that don’t call for humor. Kyle Chandler’s character is the chief violator of this, asking cattily if everyone has forgotten he joined the team to find his daughter, rephrasing the potential genocide of Boston as such, “Let’s just say, in another five minutes it’s gonna get real bad for anyone who’s a Red Sox fan.” The general effect is one of tonal confusion. Godzilla is the wrong combination of breezy self-aware cheese and dour seriousness.

The original trailer to this film was a lot more honest about its trajectory and would’ve probably guided audience’s expectations a little better than billing it as a Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em of monster mashups. The heart of the film lies in its investigation of loss and grief within a family, and it’s only through this story that the vehicle of Godzilla works as any sort of relevant metaphor or commentary.

There’s a weird fixation with countdowns: 1 min til detonation, 30 sec til impact of the “oxygen destroyer” (ugh), 10 sec til Godzilla boops our window, 6 min til Godzilla explodes. It feels so strange to have someone call out how long we should feel anxious, and then to be told we have to wait 6 whole minutes before our hero may or may not explode.

I’ve got three things that may or may not spoil the film for you below, but I tend to think that there’s really not anything in this movie that’s so complex that it’s a spoiler. I’m genuinely confused about Vera Farmiga’s slideshow while she’s revealing the Evil Plan via the world’s clearest Skype call. When does she have time to put it together? Or is it just a cinematic overlay to drive home her point? Like, we the audience can see it but no one else? Can we see the images with a frame around them in the receiver room or are they always full screen? At one point she seems to make a bit of a Tokyo Ghost-type argument in favor of irradiating the world’s cities, because it ends up–in a round about way–supercharging plant growth in those regions. That’s not actually how radiation works, right? Like, Chernobyl made vegetables grow like crazy, but they weren’t edible, were they?

2. On the point about all the noble suicide runs: there sure is a lot more love in the office for Dr Serizawa (Ken Watanabe’s character) than there is for Sally Hawkins (Shape of Water). They both die, but literally no one but Ken references Sally after her death. Multiple people say the words “This is what Dr Serizawa would want,” or “Let’s do this for Serizawa,” which feels really rough. On a related note, it feels weird that Farmiga gets the easy out by dying while luring Ghidora away from the helicopter that’s got her family on it. A lot more interesting a plot would have been seeing her pay for her crimes and try to patch things up with her family after their unification and her change of heart in Boston. Instead, the story takes the Bradley Cooper route from A Star is Born.

3. Last, a point about the Mothra/Fire Demon fight, which may or may not matter at all in the scheme of things, says The Ringer: once we see the way that Godzilla’s hydrogen bomb explosion snuffs out Ghidora, I felt so relieved that Mothra had already died in (another) noble suicide, but all of a sudden we see that flaming **** bow for Godzilla at the end and I’m left wondering, How the eff does Rodan survive that blast with a “six mile radius” but Ghidora doesn’t? Does it have to do with Ghidora being an alien species? Would Mothra have been cool too or would she have been killed by the blast?

King of the Monsters obviously doesn’t deserve the time we’ve devoted to it...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film lacked spent so much time hyping up the fights between the Godzilla and Ghidorah and after what feels like an eternity having to wade through poor dialogue between underdeveloped characters pushing attempting to push forward a weak plot you finally see the two fight for possibly three minutes. This is then followed by nearly another hour of setting development (the world is being destroyed by the Titans) until we finally see some real monster on monster action. The CGI was not particularly exceptional, for instance, close-ups on Ghidorah's heads looked awful in comparison to the CGI of the dragons in Game of Thrones, yet Godzilla looked to be rendered in remarkably higher quality. The ending fight was rather enjoyable, Thermonuclear Godzilla was a spectacle and satisfying finale to the Ghidora and Godzilla brawl. All in all the film would have been better suited if they had removed many of the horrendous one-liner cuts to and from both the main characters and supporting characters especially in the middle of action sequences. In reality, Thomas Middleditch's character felt far more developed and as if he belonged in this story than the characters of Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, and Millie Bobby Brown. A tremendous disappointment!… Expand

And they made that into a big-budget movie, word for word, with effects that look exactly like 1997 video-game graphics. That's Godzilla. It's just the most idiotic infantile thing you ever saw. Every lame, tired cliche from previous disaster movies is included like a recipe:

* Great big video-game monstas that move real slow and walk real loud;
* Constant "SHOOM... SHOOOM... SHOOOOOM!" sound effects;
* The gay-glasses-guy who wisecracks annoyingly but un-funnily all through the film;
* The child who gets separated from parents and is constant danger;
* Lame, blue-toned video-game CGI;
* Separated family members screaming "NOOOO!" as they get separated;
* The music and monsta-fight-noise stop politely when characters need to have an emotional talk during the crisis;
* Explosions and massive flying objects moving WAY too fast, but somehow missing everybody;
* Blubbering family reunion at the end.

Since it seems to have been written by a 7th grader, it really doesn't quite make sense and after a while, it's impossible to follow the narrative (if any), with all the scene and character changes -- like how they all suddenly end up in Boston when they were just in Mexico or the Gulf of Mexico?

Anyhow, if you're a very immature 7th grader, you might like this, but otherwise, for Godzilla's sake stay away!… Expand

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters

Dougherty is neither answering nor raising the questions. Oddly enough, the director, Michael Dougherty is also responsible for this chalky screenplay that he co-wrote with Zack Shields. But why would they work hard, if clashing towering mythological creatures painted by a bucket full of mashed cgi, could make its audience drool and fill the pocket of the banner with tons and tons of gold- maybe this was too much. At least the makers won't be able to judge someone by that, after what they have pulled off in this latest installment of a long going franchise. But I sincerely, want to go through this. What is it, that makes us giddy up for more of this monster debacle?

Is it the inner child in us, that sees the world with such one dimensional view? Or is it that stereotypical punching bag feeling? Exerting rage for a cathartic release, that we have been piling up for the whole week and are about to take it all out on a popcorn bag. It is not the SMASH SMASH SMASH, as much as it looks like. It is not. For, unlike MCU, they are not focusing a lot on the choreography of the battle, it is still dull. But I'd hardly blame the so called true king of the monsters.

It is the humans I find it difficult to bear on screen. We are told over and over again, to go through the same rigmarole of "Run! Run! Run!". The pitched in emotions are shallow, ergo, the entire track of unnecessarily long cast gets thrown off in the garbage. So, there must be something they have got it right? Yes, there is, claiming it to be mythology- which it is not of that subtext at all- the fanboys are going to have a time of their lives, as all their suffering-- if they consider it to be-- over the ages is about to come alive in the form of Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, roaring with his heart out in a gargantuan IMax screen.… Expand

Charles Dance is a great actor but he wasn't great in this one. I think the character he played was boring. None of these characters you really care about.

A disappointing addition to the Godzilla universe. Plot was poorly constructed and the acting, save the performance by a few individuals such as Ken Watanabe, left little to be desired.

Plot was poorly constructed and the acting, save the performance by a few individuals such as Ken Watanabe, left little to be desired. CGI was good, though dark; much of the film was filmed at night or in dark places, so it appears bleak in many parts. This did allow for effects like lightning and energy to appear more vibrant, though the monsters often blended into the scenery. In a film about monsters larger than life, no fight scene focused on the monsters for more than a few seconds. Fights would last a minute or so, but only centered on the actual monsters for the beginning and conclusion to the fight. Similar to Pacific Rim 2 in that the best fight was saved for the end, but different in that each fight cut away to humans running away consistently enough to pull you out of the film. Truly disappointing and would not recommend this film.… Expand

Way too much BS story with the people in the movie. Even the sci-fi elements of Godzilla are ruined by the horrible story in this movie. If there's another Godzilla movie ever - focus on the creatures. This movie had way too much boringWay too much BS story with the people in the movie.

Oh man, what kind of trash has been let loose on the masses here. The story is as thin as paper and a plot that is finished after 20.
Then there are actors with stupid dialogues and bad acting.

All of this is very reminiscent of the last Transformers films, which are the biggest rubbish for me. Much mediocre CGI with actors who only seem to have supporting roles.… Expand

What an absolute travesty of a film. I understand that plot, character, and dialogue aren’t the focus here; it’s all about the monsters and all the badass things they do.

I understand that plot, character, and dialogue aren’t the focus here; it’s all about the monsters and all the badass things they do. I walked into the theater more than willing to excuse those problems in the name of dumb fun. But, shockingly, the action is helmed just as poorly. Never quite clearly visible, almost gets monotonous after awhile. And without good action, all you have left is the TERRIBLE writing and plot. Look at Pacific Rim for an example of how to do dumb fun movies well. It’s characters are simple but likable, the plot isn’t overly complicated, and the action is some of the most beautiful and epic action ever put to the big screen. This movie is a complete waste of time.… Expand

It's hard to make a movie about huge monster boring, but here is how:
Barely show the monsters, specially fighting, and when you do, do it at night when you can barely see anything.

Barely show the monsters, specially fighting, and when you do, do it at night when you can barely see anything.
Have a cast of unlikable human beings that are a drag to the story and you con't care about them at all, and then let them interrupt the few good moments the movie has.
Add some SJW BS like women, specially the main character bossing every men around (just watch, I don't know, Dr Who, or Picard, or STD, and you see tha same), add some climate change propaganda (the Monsters are here because we are killing the world. They could have done it right like in Pacific Rim) and there you have it, a ton of money for a boring POS movie about Kaiju.
Just watch Pacifim Rim (the original one by Guillermo del Toro), it's 10x more entertaining that this POS.… Expand
