"Yes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is ultimately a Saturday matinee writ large, but that’s nothing to sneeze fire at; countless big, expensive action movies fail at making their way into a viewer’s pleasure center, but this one knows exactly how to be, in the truest sense of the word, sensational." ...

"There are too many gaps in the cross-generational/cross-gender appeal for the movie to emerge as one of the 2019 summer movie season’s big winners. Some will argue this is all set-up for next year’s Kong/Godzilla rematch. After watching King of the Monsters, however, I sadly find myself less excited about that outing. " ... Read full review

"Before anyone reading this starts complaining that I just don’t get what movies like Godzilla: King of the Monsters are all about, that I’m the sort of killjoy who should just relax, let me say that it would be a lot easier to take it less seriously if the people who made the movie cared enough to take it more seriously." ...

You don't see this movie in hopes of being moved by the actors performances. You don't see this movie for the overall story. You don't see this movie and compare it to other genres. You see this movie to watch giant monsters destroy things and be in awe over the graphical fidelity of these creatures and the destruction they cause! This movie deserves a 10 based on this premise. Its fun and it is riddled with amazing graphics, fanfare and enough different monsters to keep you in awe all the way through. So grab some popcorn and ENJOY THE SHOW!… Expand

Of the 30+ Godzilla films made in the last 65 years, approximately 3-4 of them have been intended to be serious" as allegories or satires. TheOf the 30+ Godzilla films made in the last 65 years, approximately 3-4 of them have been intended to be serious" as allegories or satires. The rest of them are silly, over-the-top monster mash films catering to our inner child, and these films have a very distinct style that often transcends broad B-Movie tropes alone. Doughtery's film taps mostly into the latter, but it is also a highly enjoyable love letter to the entire franchise, from two clear references to the 1954 original to a final battle hybridizing elements of "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2" and "Godzilla vs. Destroyah." This film is a blast if you go into it with proper expectations. Remember that the "serious" side of the Godzilla spectrum has been covered in two unique ways since 2014 (one a light environmental allegory and exercise in restraint, the other a lo-fi political satire). This one, on the other hand, strives to channel the most entertaining aspects of the Showa and Heisei films; it's Toho-style popcorn entertainment at its finest, and to view it with any type of lofty critical eye is to appear synonymous with some of the film's overly serious, unintentionally funny dialogue.

Sure, there have been some truly bad films that have been bailed out this way by fans (look at you, Bay-directed Transformers films), but hollow, robotic human characters are still better than overtly annoying, sometimes racist ones. Doughtery's human characters are here to dictate the flow of monster fights, and that's what they should be doing. Do their arcs leave something to be desired? Sure. Is the film's narrative messy? Oh yes. But these complaints are all but meaningless in a film featuring a giant atomic lizard, a three-headed alien dragon, a giant moth, a pteranodon, and bunch of other ridiculous **** (keep an eye out for the woolly mammoth kaiju). Just go see this film and have a blast, and if you're out of touch with this longstanding franchise, watch any title with "vs." in the title to properly prepare yourself.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look, I'm not gay. But I would rather be **** in the ass than watch this one more time. I would need some cash in advance and some alcohol to muster the strength to watch this another time. I never watched a movie and rooted for the antagonist. The Next time I watch this, I'll probably be busy getting skull**** by my sugar daddy, as that is a better alternative tbh. The only redeeming quality was the 30 minute graphic sex scene between Godzilla and Mothra. My gay friend defends this movie, but I don't think it's that good.… Expand
