The actors must be so embarrassed to be in this film. And once again (like the original Godzilla), the lead actors seem to be the only humans that exist in a huge metropolis and they try to find each other in the big city by simply calling out their names. It's beyond preposterous. You can't even suspend your disbelief to enjoy it. This movie makes Dark Phoenix look like Shakespeare by comparison.… Expand

The plot was okay – I could have done without the “climate change” talk – we don’t need Godzilla getting ensnared in current events. He is timeless. But the cast was very good as usual and the plot, although a little muddled, moved along. I also thought Godzilla himself looked and sounded more convincingly alive than in previous films in the series, and the cast had some very talented actors (for example, Charles Dance, Sally Hawkins, and Ken Watanabe), which helped. A lot of fun and nicely done.… Expand

It is a good movie, better than the previous, but it still lacks a lot of writing, if you already know we are going to watch monster fights, you should make the movie more focused on it

It takes place several years after the Godzilla and MUTO fight in San Fracisco and is about more monsters being released and beginning a fight for dominance. If that doesn't sound like a fun concept to you than you will not like this movie. I liked the 2014 film just fine but had a problem with there being only one real scene with Godzilla in all of his glory, so I was hopping this film would feature more of him and the other monsters and oh god this film certainly delivered on that front. The monsters design are all brilliant and the fights are all awesome. However this film does come with it's own fair share of problems. Like I said the concept is fun however the over all story get's kind of ridiculous and over complicated. You see they try to set up the debate that these giant monsters might be here to put humanity in check and save the environment by killing millions of people. Which is just stupid. This is a giant monster movie no one is going to buy a ticket to this film hoping to hear a debate on the human problem. They're going to see a giant monsters kill each other. Add that to the fact that most human characters are as generic as possible and some parts of this film feel like time wasters. Yet these problems don't bother me that much because there the problems I've come to expect from a Godzilla film. In conclusion if your a fan of Godzilla than you'll like this film if not than there is nothing here for you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A little more human story than expected based on the critics reviews. I expected at least 60-70% screen time from the Kaiju, but you take what you can get really. Overall a well done effort that only suffered from an overabundance of human cast, that could have been accomplished with about half, and in half the time making more time for the Kaiju. I don't know if they're going to go any further than Kong on this, but I wouldn't mind seeing that post credits plot expanded more. Also my favorite Kaiju of all time Gigan needs some screen love in this style, here's hoping it does well enough for Legendary and WB to cut Toho a large enough check to make it happen.… Expand

This is a terrible a Godzilla movie and a terrible action movie. Once again, America continues to prove that it just cannot do a proper Godzilla film. We get maybe 7 minutes of monster screen time instead of the 5 minutes in the last movie. Hardly an improvement. The characters are all completely ridiculous or pointless and there is nothing interesting going on between the half-second monster fights.

It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult to have a decent story for the human characters in a movie about giant monsters. But honestly all the characters here are so alien, all I can think is that the writers just didn't have any ideas at all and decided to go with something that couldn't be called offensive by anyone. This is a movie to rent for cheap and fast forward through every single moment that doesn't feature the creatures on screen. Oh and the trailer is deceptive, it has very little to do with the girl, it's more about her parents if anything… 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

I write this as a generation X kid that grew up watching Godzilla and Toho films on Saturdays. To this day, for some odd reason, Godzilla holds a special place in my heart; whether it's him himself or purely nostalgic I don't know. So withI write this as a generation X kid that grew up watching Godzilla and Toho films on Saturdays. To this day, for some odd reason, Godzilla holds a special place in my heart; whether it's him himself or purely nostalgic I don't know. So with high expectations I caught this movie on the typical night before release - coming in on a full-on roller coaster ride of hype and doubts. For those that aren't into reading reviews longer than one paragraph: Did I like the movie? No. I left my seat deflated and disappointed. I hoped for a film for those of us that grew up with Toho, those of us that aren't ten-years-old and don't care for the unnatural pacing and characters of films like Star Wars and Marvel, where it's one unbelievably happenstance thing after the next.

Let me say a few things I did like, and I admit, there is not many. I do like that you can now hear some of that iconic Godzilla roar in this mixed in with the new. There are some truly beautiful scenes of Godzilla and Mothra early on - which almost make the price of admission worth it alone. I do like Watanabe's last scene in the film, though to avoid spoilers, cannot go into that. Overall, I do like the monster designs.

Now we come to the part of this review that pains me to write...

All this talk of the monsters being the focal point of the film is absurd. The true stars here are Watanabe, Chandler, Farmiga, and Eleven from Stranger Things playing Eleven from Stranger Things. In all sincerity, Godzilla and the others are the supporting cast. What this left me with was a plot that was chock full of humans in the worst way; and I mean a very large human cast, where they by and large offer nothing but a skin deep plot to steer the movie forward. With their prominence in this film the only thing they contribute is characters that would fit into any Transformers movie. Simply put, all characters, with the exception of Watanabe's, are no good. We also get the very banal characters from the 2014 film, such as the admiral and Watanbe's genric aide, played by Sally Hawkins - and then some. Filling in for the famous twin Mothra fairies is a woman that adds drivel via her research on what looks like Wikipedia or another online encyclopedia. We also can't forget to mention the Hokey politicians and Monarch soldiers that are there for tired quips that lack wit. The villains in this film rival those of Star Wars' New Order; their story is so little told it could fit into a TV advert - they don't really matter. Charles Dance's character also doesn't matter. So what are we left with? A cast, the true stars of this film, jerking back and forth in character (Chandler), and the rest levying 'witty' comments, having an explanation for everything to handhold the audience, and reacting on a dime to everything at every turn... Literally, they look right just in time and something happens. Then they look left and, again, just in time, something happens. And so on...

The hand-holding of the characters and writing is so bad that, for instance, a video conference call between Farmiga and Chandler is accompanied by a short film. I guess the characters in this world create video presentations prior to calling one another. In reality, if your dialog is so weak and can't deliver or stand on its own, and requires the use of visual aids, it just doesn't work.

We have been primed going in to believe that they are the true stars of this film. Regardless how well they are designed, they are, as stated above, a supporting cast. For some of you the truth of this will come later once the dust and hype settles, and for others, it will take someone compiling a video of all Godzilla footage out of the two plus hours run time, and uploading it to YouTube - and it will be a small fraction of that two hours (oh, but not that human cast - they are in there for the duration). At every possible moment this large human cast is in the way. Whether it is during fight scenes or not, we are constantly being pulled away and led by the hand to see foot and claw from their perspective. I understand the desire to illustrate scale, but surely this doesn't mean we need to be constantly bludgeoned over the head to be reminded of it. Even when it comes to the final showdown between Godzilla and Ghidorah, the creators felt the need to busy the audience with characters doing dumb things that don't matter - or worse yet, are plot devices of the most worst kind.

The final battle also concludes in the worst possible way. It's offending how cheap and contrived it is... The ending and the buildup to it also flies in the face of the King of Monsters - the guardian of the natural world - Godzilla. It's the ultimate cheap shot. This is followed by showing additional titans - most having never been seen on any Toho film. There is no Gigan, no Baragon, no Megalon - none of them. And why weren't they there at the end to bend a knee?!? It would have left things off on the highest possible note.… Expand

These days if the plot isn't full of liberal progressive content to push their political agenda, its an automatic failure in their eyes. Thankfully, Godzilla isn't full of that garbage. The only people I can think who shouldn't see this movie, are those looking for a deep story type movie. This is classic movie making mixed with current day effects. Its a fun, exciting movie. This is the movie you go to, and just enjoy the experience. I don't want to spoil anything, but highly recommend going to see it for the fun action alone. I gave it an 8 only because the story, and some of the dialogue is corny at times. It was still a lot of fun, and Ill be seeing a second time for sure.… Expand

Who would take their young daughter into a secret government facility and put her in harms way like that? You wouldn't even be allowed to do it. Mum, can I come to work with you today, at the secret, clandestine facility? Sure honey. Oh by the way, mummy has an act of genocide to carry out today, so be a good girl and don't judge her, ok?… Expand

I didn't read all the bad reviews and to be true I can't understand them. I went to the cinema without too much expectation but I hoped to see more Monster fights in reference from what we saw in Godzilla 2014. And I was not disappointed. Most bad critics for the last movie were because there was just fighting by the end of the movie and now we get much more fighting, more monsters and also a "human-plot". To be honest there were moments when I sit in the cinema and thought "really?" "Why did they do this?" but for me a lacking "human-plot" in a Godzilla movie isn't this much important. I want to see Monsters fighting and I saw some epic ones. They also added classic soundtrack into the movie, it had a very nostalgic feeling. So all in all I give the movie a 9 of 10 cause I liked it very much but here and there wer some "Plot-lacking" moments (at least for me). Sorry if there are some language mistakes in the text.

Now I do urge anyone to go to the biggest screen they can find and try to open-mindedly turn your brain off (a seeming contradiction but its possible) and just let it all in. Its the very definition of a summer blockbuster, its hard not to have a good time (just accept going into it that this isnt a Nolan film, the script isnt perfect but its absolutely up to the task).

Aisha Hinds as Colonel Diane Foster annoyed me a bit. She kind of reminded me of a certain purple haired lady in Star Wars. Hollywood loves showing female character's in charge bossing men around. It's eye rolling at this point. The biggest immersion breaker was the reason Dr. Emma Russell gave for freeing all the monsters. I didn't buy it because it was dumb.. I didn't like Kyle Chandler. And Millie Bobby Brown was fine but all she did was cry.. I liked the scene with Ken Watanabe and Godzilla. It was the only scene I liked other than all the monster fights. 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. The monster fights were cool and looked incredible. The problem is they showed too much of the humans. And I just didn't care. This could of been awesome..

If you managed to age past 5 years however... Coming from Kong: Skull Island (Which i really liked and gave an 8/10), Godzilla: King of the Monsters goes back to Godzilla 2014, but decides to double down on stupidity in favor of a few more monsters. Don't be fooled, we really only got 4 monsters as the other ones have a combined screen time of less then 2 minutes. And 90% of this movie are scenes about the dumb-ass humans who all graduated from the 80's action movie intelligence school.

Right from the start, the movie takes an incredibly slow and dumb approach to unveiling the monsters. Emma, who deserves to burn in the deepest and darkest pit of hell, is a psychopathic, mass murdering terrible mother with a god complex. Not only does she detonate bombs while her own husband and daughter are right in front of them, she even dares to pretend that she can shrug it off when it 'surprisingly' doesn't go according to plan. SHE is the Queen of the Monsters! She is responsible for every single human death after pushing the button!

It's insulting to think that people defend this as a monster movie, when the writers of the movie themselves put so much screen time into the human characters. It should be renamed; Emma: Queen of Idiocy and Monsters. There are many moments in the movie that are so pointless and forgetable that i wonder why this movie is even around two hours long. There's a whole scene about a marine getting injured in the leg (which no one will even remember) that serves no purpose. The whole idea that an alien is somehow perfectly capable to communicate with Earth monsters doesn't even make sense in a monster movie. The jokes in this movie were so lame and boring that it irritated me. The daughter serves no purpose other than dragging the ORCA, and i really hope child services will remove her from her deranged and lunatic father. The only intelligent character in this whole movie is played by Charles Dance, who basically says: 'You opened pandora's box, yet are surprised when the results are not what you expected?' He actually makes sense there. Every single other character in this movie has the IQ of a Tiger with down syndrome (Google it, they exist). Are there good points? Yes there are:
+ Charles Dance was interesting and convincing
+ The moment Godzilla enters Boston was very impressive
+ The monster battles themselves are very awesome
+ Donald Trump wasn't President

I was bored, and very disappointed in this lazy childish mess of a movie. Just because it's a monster movie doesn't mean you can't have well written characters, sensible plot points and good jokes. Just look at the MCU. I think Godzilla fans deserve better, and i definitely did considering i paid for this fan fiction. It is a bad movie. I give it a 4/10.… Expand

This leads to a battle royale scenario where in order to survive,Following on from Gareth Edwards Godzilla, King of the Monsters sees the emergence of a range of Titans across the globe due to the actions of a new eco-terrorist organisation. This leads to a battle royale scenario where in order to survive, mankind must work with Godzilla to defeat this threat and bring back a natural order to the world.

This time around, they seemed to take on board some of the criticism from the previous movie about not using more of the classic monsters Godzilla used to fight in the Toho franchise, so this time they unleash far more titans on to the world. On one side we have Godzilla's partner the great benevolent Mothra showing off her gorgeous wing span and giving us a lot of moments to just be in awe of her beauty. Then on the other we have the destructive King Ghidorah, with his monstrous scale towering over cities raining down destruction from the skies. And when these monster clash it does have some of those epic destructive moments that fans have been asking for and that raise the bar for when Godzilla v Kong comes out in 2020.

But unfortunately it retains the rest of the problems from the previous two films in Legendary's Monsterverse, with these remaining problems being magnified this time around. The new cast is led by married couple Mark and Emma Russell, played by Kyle Chandler and Vera Farmiga, along with their daughter Madison played by Millie Bobby Brown. Normally in a film like this you'd see parents at least try to take their child away from danger, but here Madison's mother has no qualms with letting her child run around with her on battlefield. At the beginning of the film she even brings her to a secret facility containing one of the Kaiju for seemingly no reason.

The rest of the overcrowded supporting cast is rounded up by Zhang Ziyi playing a researcher of ancient myths relating to the creatures, some more supporting scientists for comedic relief and a bunch of forgettable soldiers. There's also the leader of the villainous eco-terrorists Charles Dance, who's so badly defined we don't really get a justification for how he got to his position other than he used to be a soldier and therefore hates humanity now.

In previous films we had enough human characters like Bryan Cranston, John C Reilly and Samuel L Jackson so the human portions of the movie had at least something to support them. But the only good human character in this film is Ken Watanabe, who has a few good lines scattered throughout the film, but is not given enough prominence in the film to make the human drama work. And when a majority of the film is focused on these human characters, this is a big problem. Especially when there are monsters having an epic battle in the background and instead we're forced to spend our time with these bland personalities we don't actually care about.

There's also a lot of logical oversights throughout the film, with the film ignoring anything it needs to in order for our characters to get where they need to get to in the story. Every character seems to inherit the fast travel ability from the last two seasons of Game of Thrones, with characters having the ability to travel across the globe in a matter of minutes to show up wherever they need to, even if the monsters should have been travelling faster than they do. Characters will also change their motivation to suit the needs of the film, going from wanting every Kaiju dead to deciding to work with Godzilla over the course of a scene.

But if you're a fan of the old Toho monster movies and want to see what kind of chaos these titans can cause on a 200 million dollar budget, this film definitely has a lot of great moments showing us that. But at the same time this film doesn't offer anything on par with the moment we first see Godzilla use his atomic breath in the previous movie and takes us on a bland ride with these human characters to get to these moments.… Expand

Are you going into this movie as a fan of the 2014 Gareth Edwards film who appreciated the sensitive and grounded approach to the larger-than-life ideas therein? If so, you may be sorely disappointed by the rather uncouth and matter-of-fact nature of things this time around. Are you walking in as someone who was tremendously let down by the 2014 predecessor's lack of action and kaiju combat in favor of dry character work and performances? Because you may have just gotten a movie that flies in the face of all that, for better or worse. Are you somewhere betwixt these two groups, enjoying the 2014 film for what it was, but understanding the need for certain elements to change? Well you might just end up in the camp that this reviewer's planted his flag within. This movie is fine. The action is thrilling and brilliantly rendered, featuring a hefty number of moments that'll make you smile. The character work is spotty at best, featuring some of the more head-scratchingly misguided attempts at depth I've seen in a while, but you're at least given a protagonist that has more emotional drive than the 2014 film did. The performances get the job done, with some actors bringing a bit too much to the table than others (I'm looking at you Bradley Whitford). And the lore is -- as always -- sopping wet with imagination and creativity. In short, it's imperfect, but a worthwhile time at the cinema, to be sure.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Os monstros aparecem, e quando eles chegam na tela, conseguem divertir a todos. Assustador? Claro que não. Mas ainda conseguem ser maravilhas técnicas. É uma pena que a mecânica do enredo não teve a imaginação que a equipe costuma transmitir. E os **** não têm figuras de comunicação. Quanta sorte um monstro pode ter!

A cientista Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) tinha uma invenção chamada Orca (?). Ela faz sons que se comunicam com os monstros e controlam o seu comportamento. Mas Emma não tem a mesma sorte com a sua filha adolescente Madison (a atriz maravilhosa Millie Bobby Brown, de 'Stranger Things'), que acha de uma forma muito correta que a sua mãe ficou louca.

Madison ficou triste por ter perdido seu irmão na batalha que havia terminado no último filme da franquia. Mas Mark (Kyle Chandler), seu pai divorciado, está para baixo afogando as suas mágoas na bebida, mas agora retorna para restaurar o sentido do universo. A guerra se resume nas pessoas que acreditam que os humanos devem viver em paz com os monstros e os opositores que querem destruir as criaturas da face da terra. Por diversão e lucro, é claro. O filme consegue fazer você imaginar a Antártida chegar até Boston -- a destruição do Fenway Park por Ghidorah é um ótimo exemplo contendo efeitos especiais -- mas raramente chega a lugar algum. Você se importa? Provavelmente não. Quando os **** aparecem e começam a lutar, você cede vendo o filme apenas para se divertir e não levar a sério.… Expand

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

B-b-b-but muh monster fights! Please, Godzilla still feels like a side-character in his own movie and every time one of these titan fights starts to get interesting the camera cuts away to check back up on whatever the wishy-washy turds at Monarch are doing. Michael Dougherty can't make glorious destruction like Gareth Edwards can and the brief glimpses you do get of the action you came to see are obscured and clouded by environmental effects to the point where you might as well not be looking at anything.

All this stuff you all complained about in the 2014 film is still here yet you're excepting this time around because Godzilla has a few classic names to throwdown with? Nothing has actually improved. So sorry, but I'm gonna have to call you guys out on your crap with this one.

If anything, this a huge step back from what we got before. The writing is just terrible. Only marginally less stupid than Pacific Rim: Uprising, which still holds the title of dumbest Kaiju movie, King of the Monsters doesn't even make use of it's one potentially good idea of people trying to use the titans to reverse humanity's effects on the environment. Instead it's just watching a bunch of idiots constantly flip-flop on whether or not they want to kill Godzilla and company, while Kyle Chandler struggles to decide on whispering or yelling all of his lines. Like seriously guy, just talk normal. That's perfectly acceptable.

Between this and the "talent" hired to make the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong, it looks like the MonsterVerse is trying to take advantage of what appears to be the DCEU's recent comeback and snag the crown of worst cinematic universe right off its head. A shame, because before this it was in the running with The Conjuring Universe to be the MCU's second. Now it looks like we may need to behead this false king. His castle has begun to crumble.… Expand

Godzilla: King of the Monsters addresses the latter problem by upping the number of monsters and fights almost to an excessive extent. The former criticism, though, is not addressed well, as the human characters somehow got worse and feel downright comical at most points in their decision-making and dialogue. While the sometimes stunning action and cinematography truly make this movie look and feel awesome, the plot and development is laughable and paper thin, bringing the movie into Transformers-lite territory. King of the Monsters shows many moments of promise and beauty in its cinematography and kaiju designs and battles, its poor excuse for characters and a story keep this movie from being anything more than a pretty fun but also mindless summer popcorn blockbuster.… Expand

Godzilla is one of those summer action flicks where the script is so bad that they over-compensated with the special effects. There is nothing new or ground-breaking here but overall mindless fun.

My expectations were quite high going into watching as I had heard a lot of hyped up reviews for how great and faithful GKOTM was to the series originals... While I can safely praise the cheesy screenplay for feeling just fun enough to plod through, the action set pieces and titan choreography seemed to feel uninspired in my eyes... To me though the bar for giant monster battling was set high in 2013's pacific rim (I just love the sensation of weight visible (and audiable) when the kaiju and yaegers simply move let alone brawl....). Still if your in the mood or just a fan then I am certain you will find something here to enjoy.… Expand

I don't have a very high bar for action movies like this, so it's not like I'm cork sniffing over here. Armageddon was a better movie than this pile of patchwork narrative and inconsistency of thought. I felt like I was watching a fever dream of a movie because of how janky and disconnected the narrative was. Trying to understand what this movie is trying to do is like trying to stick your hand into water without getting wet.

There is nothing in the characters in this movie that makes me like or give a single **** about any of them. The destruction is so vast and unearned that I don't care if the whole planet burns. There is no interesting dynamic in how the monsters work. There is no one scene that I can think of that is so well defined either in recognizable scale or earned tension that I can even remember. It's like trying to attempt recollection of an extremely weird dream 3 hours after you had it. Time, distance, and size mean absolutely nothing in this movie. The monsters are big, but you get a feeling that their size is so variable that it it can be whatever they want it to be from one scene to the next that I'm surprised 12" Godzilla doesn't pop out of a toilet bowl and burn someone's ****

The destruction is so vast that entire cities are laid to waste, yet main characters are implausibly spared even though they're right in the middle of the mess. I'm not even sure what Mothra's role in this movie was. This was the most expensive Mad-Libs movie I've ever seen because the only good thing about it was the CGI.

Independence Day is a good bad movie. I actually felt something when Randy Quaid sacrificed himself and flew up into the butthole of the spaceship. This was a hot mess of nonsense that had no pacing or coherence. You know when you try to wing it when you cook meal out of whatever's in the fridge and nothing complements anything else and comes out nothing like the way you expected it? That's what this movie felt like. If people liked this horrible crap and hated Batman vs Superman, I put their honesty of movie appreciation squarely in question. I can forgive that crap before I forgive this steaming pile of radioactive rambling nonsense. That was a terrible movie, but at least I didn't feel like I knew where it was going.

Seriously, to the reviewer who wrote "This isn't a Shakespeare play. This isn't Driving Miss Daisy. It's GODZILLA." and then gave it a f&*king 10... A TEN... I hate you and you need to stop sharing your opinions on movies. Some people are contrarians for the sake of being contrarians and I could accept that point of view if they gave it a 7 or 8, but to give this movie a 10, you are kind of a terrible person and screaming out loud for your opinion to never be trusted again. It's such an absurd disconnect between quality _on any level_ and reality that I just can't find any way to understand what kind of brain parasite must be controlling those people, let alone believe that's an honest opinion, outside of maybe doubling down on their decision to see this movie as a validation of their taste.… Expand

Godzilla by Gareth Evans was criticized enormously for taking the name of the mythical Kaiju and just showing it a few minutes. Even I criticize that. But now that the studio gave the monsters priority, it turns out that that wasn't what they wanted. So, how the **** do you please them?

Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons. It had an important message at first and the human characters were never of weight in the stories. Let's be honest. While the original stories were a little better built, they were not impressive either. But that's a separate issue.

Godzilla: King of The Monsters has a laughable story. Motives and consequences are stupid. The story is way too problematic and dumb. Its biggest problem and obvious weakness lies in its own argument.
The criticism is not that the characters don't matter, it's that they should not matter in the first place.
The tragedy of Vera Farmiga's character is ridiculous and completely irrational. Her own grief is discredited when the film tries to centralize the drama in a family when millions of families die because of her actions. Where's the sense in it?

That's why the whole plot fails and the awakening of the titans doesn't correspond to anything more than human hypocrisy. Element that the same film mentions. The awakening of these monsters and therefore all the resulting mess wasn't made to heal the planet, nature didn't provoke it, but it was to satiate the ego of a depressive woman unable to deal with her personal trauma.

Doing that aside in the term of entertainment the film does delivers what was promised. Although not 100% as advertised.
Mothra and Rodan are almost useless to be honest. Both have their moment yes, but here the crucial confrontation is between Godzilla and Gidorah.

The visual effects are spectacular although it's incredibly annoying that once again all the fights occur almost in the dark. That saves money in the details of the CGI but unfortunately for that reason all the fights feel repetitive.

Godzilla: King of The Monsters is a weekend film. Turn off the brain and enjoy two basic hours of entertainment on a massive scale because beyond that, the film doesn't offer anything better.… Expand

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

The script for this film is absolute garbage. The dialogue is so forced and unnatural that it makes you roll your eyes everytime someone talks which obviously is a large portion of the film. The characters are also a huge detriment to the film. They don’t have any personality and are defined by their “one character trait” which is a running problem in Warner Brothers Monsterverse. Unfortunately, this one character trait robs the audience for feeling an emotion towards character deaths in the film. Some of the action scenes aren’t amazing also. For some of the action scenes, I can’t tell what is going on or who is who because the camera is shaking around a lot. One final thing is that I feel Millie Bobby Brown wasn’t great in this film. I like her in Stranger Things but I felt like she just wasn’t trying. Here are the positives of the film. One major thing is that the sound design, sound editing, and musical score are phenomenal. The film sounds amazing. I believe that this film could be an early contender for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the Oscars. The musical score is just outstanding to listen to. Most of the actors do a pretty good job even though they were given a terrible script. Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, and Ken Watanabe were standouts from the film. The other half of the action scenes are pretty good and it’s awesome to see huge monsters fighting each other. Most of the visual effects are really good especially the character designs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rhodan look incredibly lifelike. The cinematography is good but it’s nothing special. The tone throughout the film remains consistent and the film is paced pretty well. It starts fast and moves from each scene quickly. Overall, Godzilla: King of the Monsters has some amazing sound editing, editing, and score with great visual effects but lacks a good script or compelling characters. I give Godzilla: King of the Monsters a 6/10.… Expand

I would say that the acting was terrible except that the actors really did not have a script, it feels like they made the big CGI action sequences first then tried to stitch them together with an improvised, clichéd, plot hole filled, nonsensical, incomprehensible plot.

The actors are all stereo types that we have seen so many times before, lazy writing from a lazy production team who have no imagination or care for the craft of film making.

I advise you to wait till this nonsense comes out on video and fast forward to the monster fights, seriously there is no point watching anything that happens between the fight scenes, indeed, the crap acting and contrived dialogue will make you sick.

Something else that is abundantly clear, they have seriously gone overboard with the fake reviews, I do not think I have seen so many fake bot / studio reviews.

Barely any of the monsters were actually shown and the story was practically non-existent. The former movie (Godzilla 2014) did a far more fantastic job of what this movie failed at. There was barely any action in the entire movie as a whole and the dialogue was cheesy and boring. A couple of vibrant characters made the movie good (props to Bradley Whitford), but overall the movie was bland and boring with actors who looked like they'd never been on a movie before. Sad moments felt funny and comedic moments were just cringe-worthy. For a movie with such high production value, it was certainly lackluster. The CGI, even, was laughably bad; even compared to the 2014 Godzilla. I'm hoping for a more exciting take on Godzilla with the next movie. Still very unfortunate how this one turned out, but the movie leaves me with just enough hope that it hasn't been entirely ruined.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now, most of you would think that the Godzilla sequel would be a lot better than the original from 2014 after watching 3 trailers and a few Tv Spots. To be honest, I was thinking the exact thing but after I watched the movie (at midnight), I was confused with how would I rate the sequel. It though was entertaining, but it also had various issues. The sequel showed us a lot more entertaining content, many Kaiju monsters made an appearance here, Rodan, Mothra, Ghidorah and countless others (not really!). From the trailer, we could see them waking up from nature and started battling without knowing where the good side is and the bad one is. The various issues I mentioned came from the performances, the acting. The movie starred Kyle Chandler as Mark Russell, Vera Farmiga as Emma Russell, Milly Bobby Brown (Y’all know her as Eleven from Stranger Things) as Madison Russell and of course, Ken Watanabe as Dr. Serizawa as he appeared in the first movie. Gotta be honest, the acting was really disappointing, the movie didn’t even care about them and they just acted like people who wanted to be a machine or a robot (maybe?). Their screenshorts weren’t much but I’ve gotta say, Milly Bobby Brown wasn’t as good as I thought she was going to be, like she hadn’t much to do in this movie. All she did was to sit down and weep until something came as a surprise, even when she came back home, she screamed and also covered her ears, even when Ghidorah was going to kill her, she didn’t run away, but instead, she screamed. The other casts, they didn’t had much to do as well and I was a bit disappointed in Ken Watanabe as Dr. Serizawa. He didn’t lead much in the movie, it was left to the military and we didn’t get much screenshots of him. Another big problem about the acting is the deaths, and these deaths are no unnecessary. It’s not like normal deaths. They’re deaths of the main characters, some made sacrifices and some accidentally died. However, the characters who were alive didn’t think about it like they’re robots, a non-human being. They didn’t even have a reaction, especially when Dr. Serizawa made his and Dr. Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins)’s. Chen (Zhang Ziyi) was just like “for Serizawa” without tears when we got to the final battle. In short, the acting was emotionless. The script was also kinda badly written as there was not much for the characters to say, to discuss about some issues they’re having. It’s just that the human characters can talk so they need to have more to discuss. I did hear some of their long discussions but they were a bit confusing and non-fans would find them annoying and hard to understand as they don’t know what’s going on with the movie. Everybody is true, the whole movie was completely entertaining and that’s a bit of a problem. We could see lots and lots of action sequences. Monsters here and there, biting others, eating and destroying buildings (that’s what American Godzilla Movies are meant to be for fans). There were lots of military forces on Godzilla’s side and everything went chaotic. And the final battle was 98% epic with spectacular cinematography and outstanding visual effects (98% AWESOME). I was really impressed with what they’ve done for 5 years (well, not much really!). The problem is that they had like too much screenshots on the battles but the monsters still didn’t get enough screen time and so were the human characters. That’s a really big issue here. Therefore, many scenes that were unnecessary scenes are completely forgettable, even the jokes I laughed at, I could barely remember. It’s just something that should be added to the “Deleted Scenes”. That’s everything I could review about the sequel. It was extremely exciting, entertaining with its EPIC battles and jaw-dropping VFX, but those things couldn’t make the story any better. The key to a good story was a really big chance but the chance was wasted over the disappointing performances and as a Godzilla fan, I was half positive and half negative so let’s just call this mixed. Ratings: 6.5/10… Expand

Well.. I didn't expect this from the MonsterVerse. They made two good movies - The 2014 Godzilla movie featuring a new and refurbished Godzilla and the 2017 rendition of King Kong set in the past on Skull Island. Both had an amazing star cast headlined by an even more amazing Titan.

King of the Monsters promised a plethora of well known monsters from the world of Godzilla. And it does give us that. King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan and another 12 to 14 more. The graphics are amazing especially on the big screen. Though Kong is mentioned, he does not make an appearance but they do setup up the Godzilla v Kong sequel quite cryptically. Where does the movie falter? Well, at everything else apart from the graphics. The worst part is the dialogues. Who wrote them? A 10 year old could have written something better. Better yet, you could have just cut the dialogues and given us only the monsters fighting for 2 whole hours. That would have been far more bearable despite being cliched to the core. Kyle Chandler has never been so cringe worthy. And to think he was part of Manchester By The Sea.

There is a point where the every actor on screen becomes unbearable. Vera Farmiga's (who is the go to person for any Warner Bros. Movie) intentions seem irritating, Millie Bobby Brown is better off in Stranger Things, Charles Dance was not required here, Thomas Middleditch is again another cringe-worthy addition and Ken Watanabe does what any honourable man would do when they are cast in such monstrosities. I actually feel sad for Godzilla. Poor guy has to save the human race from the mistakes they intentionally make (this includes the movie).

Unlike the original (2014), there is a lot more of the Titan screentime . Zilla gets considerable screen time. But it does not carry the impact of Gareth Edwards's 2014 version. There is a lot of history (pre-historic) regarding these Titans to be discovered. And I guess a movie on that would not hurt. King of the Monsters is like a B-movie with good visual effects.… Expand

Yeah, the humans characters were all pretty boring and dull and they kinda sucked but that’s pretty much what all of the Godzilla movies are like. Most of them go like this: A monster shows up. Military and scientist people talk. A monster shows up. Military and scientist people talk. A monster shows up and maybe fights another monster. Repeat. Godzilla: King of the Monsters was pretty much a modern big-budget version of a classic Godzilla movie. Godzilla movies don’t appeal to everyone so this movie isn’t for everyone, but as a Godzilla fan I got my fix. It was so cool to see all the things I saw these monsters do in the old movies with modern effects. There were a ton of really cool references to the older movies, references to King Kong (which I’m so happy is just a part of the Godzilla universe now) and new monsters, not just the big four that were advertised! The story also had some pretty interesting themes and ideas having to do with environmental disasters, which is a fitting update for these movies. The age of the atomic bomb is over. What do these monsters represent today? The monsters were also surprisingly expressive, you could tell what they were thinking and feeling and they showed a lot of personality. There were some issues I had with the movie, it cuts away during the monster fights a bit too much, sometimes it focuses on the human characters for a little too long (the old movies rarely exceeded 100 minutes. This movie is over 2 hours.) and some of the fights were hard to see, but overall I think this is a solid Kaiju flick! If you aren’t a fan of Godzilla, I don’t recommend this movie. It technically isn’t a great movie. However, if you are a fan of Godzilla and love all the classics, I think you’ll get a kick out of it! I sure did, and I can’t wait until Godzilla vs. Kong!… Expand

My opinion of this movie is similar, if not the exact same, to it's predecessor. It's good enough for anyone wanting to see a Godzilla movie, but absolute garbage compared to the Toho ones.

It wasn't a perfect movie, but I was able to have fun and in the end I loved this movie. Highly recommend, but watch as a fan!
