Oh, good, family drama bullshit in the movie about dealing with the existence of world-ending-threat (behe)moths. Oh, good, once shit goes down it's just blue or orange saturated scenes of weightless CGI creatures draining my reasons to care. Yeah, that's what I came here for. No, it's fine, I'll finish your empty action spectacle and not think about what could have been. I'm having a good time, honest.

Utter trash elevated only by its absurdly sincere desire to translate 60y of variously meaningful & meaningless Japanese pop-culture into Hollywood blockbuster. Tonally inept & horribly paced clusterfu*k that makes no sense independent of the Toho films. Too many humans & kaiju to afford them any weight. Comes across as lame & nonsensical beyond even the cheesiest Toho films. Aside from some arresting shots even the spectacle feels weightless & incoherent. Hollywood simply does not get Godzilla.

This was an odd experience - I liked it, but was it was almost like every strong point had a naff counterpoint. A good cast worked with a disjointed script and was too diluted. Strong images and cinematography were offset by blurry and indistinct moments. There was great monster design and some downright baffling efforts. Fine fight scenes felt botched in parts. Like its predecessor, it captured the spirit of its origins, but lacked coherence. Decent, but flawed. My 6-year-old boy had fun.

I've never been much of a fan of Godzilla, but with the 2014 reboot, Godzilla had become the mechanism for a modern disaster flick, just a stand in for an earthquake, or a meteor--and it worked. But with this one, and the inclusion of Monarch, the movie is pulled in too many directions, the characters are flat and the story is likewise.

By this point, this whole Legendary studios kaiju fanchise is going to be remembered for how interesting and beautiful their monsters and the cinematography surrounding them are. Some of the shots are drop dead gorgeous. That being said, the characters lack any real enthusiasm and it makes the movie feel about a half hour longer than it actually is. They listened and showed more monster this time, however they didn't cut enough humans.

I can only recommend the american Godzilla films to people interested in the unprocessed raw material used for making a handfull of quite effective trailers. Most of the film is uncharmingly asinine (Reminded me of last year's equally shitty Rampage and the G.I.Joe movies of all things) and though the monster brawl is indeed wellmade and fun, it lacks that one crucial thing Edwards got right in the previous one: a sense of scale.

I know complaining about the plot in a Godzilla movie is like complaining about the articles in a Playboy - we're here for the eye-candy, folks - but I think the script gave me chlamydia. Not a single thing a single human does makes any sense and the plot itself is... basically Justice League? Did WB only have one master script for 5 years they were really, really hoping would make it big, the fucking cheapskates? This looks big but like their Earth, at least a little hollow.

Apparently it's possible: a movie about an apocalyptic civil war between godlike titanic monsters that's horrendously dull. The human story was the weakest part of the 2014 film too but the sheer inanity and tedium of the story in this movie is hard to overstate. It doesn't even have the novelty or grandeur of the kaiju to lean on this time, nor any sense of atmosphere or suspense in between our dumbass characters getting shuttled from one military site to another for two endless hours.

I got so bored in the first 30 minutes that I could not continue. This is nearly an exact reboot of previous installments. I feel sorry for all the excellent actors involved, but all the pretty actors could not overcome the tired, fatally flawed, and worn-out premise. Not at all worthwhile.

“Yes we all know about your family Mark” Kyle Chandler is some Robert Forster knockoff. The poster for this should’ve had the family towering over the fighting monsters because that’s obviously what we all want. No one cares about the characters in these kind of movies. Awful , awful script.

The first stretch before the stars of the show turn up made me want to blow me brains out from how trite and cliche it was but it's hard not to be on board when King Ghidorah appears. There are some absolutely gorgeous shots in this movie, especially the landscape ones of Ghidorah and Godzilla facing off. One of those times like Transformers where you just wish the scriptwriters were working a tap as hard as the CG artists and storyboarders. I think Skull Island understood its camp a bit better.

Nonsense with outstanding special effects. The design of King Ghidorah was lame, however, and, though I liked Eleven in it, I wish that the rest of the on the whole exceedingly uninteresting cast (headed by a blander than bland Kyle Chandler, and, boy, was Ziyi Zhang bad) would just go away and take their exposition with them. But the eye candy mayhem was enough for me. I'm definitely looking forward to 'Godzilla vs. Kong' next year! Though how they're gonna even the odds, I'm sure I don't know.

Why does Hollywood think that we need fifth rate family drama and a host of badly drawn characters in our monster mash-up movie? I love Kyle Chandler, just give me him handling this fucking shit together with Ken Watanabe. Competent people dealing with an impossible crisis is all the fucking human drama you need. Wish more action scenes had a sense of scale and weight, instead of CGI blur. The hammy world-building is entertaining and the creature designs are great, outside of the hydra itself.

Has the fatal monster movie flaw of having too many humans and not enough creature carnage. The kaiju fights are fun enough (although they aren’t executed as well as they have been in the previous two MonsterVerse chapters), and there are some striking images throughout, but way too much time is devoted to flat characters reciting astoundingly bad dialogue. Just give us more monster action, by golly!

Good lord, how can they make a Godzilla movie so boring? Most of the film is dull human drama with a few, overly brief and incoherent monster fights in between it all. It's baffling to me that someone can screw up a premise this cool, but lo and behold, they did it! When I hear 10-year-old kids coming out of the movie saying it sucked, you know you they fucked up.

I was hoping for a fun campy experience....but these guys take themselves way too seriously. I think it would be better with almost no plot, the plot should be Godzilla. Not family problems and eco-warriors. There is too much boring and confusing stuff going on between the monster fights. PS; I miss animatronics and stop motion.

While Godzilla 2014 was a tedious slog, this one would at least be a good movie to get drunk and make fun of with friends. The human element is as boring and useless as you’d expect, but the monster fights are mostly entertaining, if too obscured until the climax. A lot of technobabble gibberish and people making silly gestures on screens. Not as funny as it wanted to be. It was weird to see Millie Bobby Brown say actual sentences and stuff.

Godzilla is back and he and Mothra, the classic music cues and sound effects are not to blame for this lengthy and boring film. A wide cast of characters are given very little to do in this talkie sci-fi snoozer. Godzilla and Co., described as gods -- used as props by shallowly written antagonists. At the finale, they're prop-like again to the symbolic order and a broken family is reunited and redeemed, as only hollywood can deliver. A forced & shallow family drama, an improbably worse sequel.

downright NASTY Ghidorah vaporizing people and flattening cities about to wreck the world. Here's your force of nature, a legit THREAT the entire movie. I loved the action. This was the throwdown showdown film I was hoping for. It gave me everything I expected (even down to its flaws which are charming for a kaiju-in-the-blood fan) and way more. That this is leading to a remake of King Kong Vs Godzilla is just beyond my dreams.

Dull, noisy "blockbuster" is an unfortunate step-down from Edwards' lyrical (and quietly haunting) 2014 effort - this assembles a formidable cast and leaves them dithering with ham-fisted, colourless characters and an overlong, repetitive (and all too familiar) narrative. May have been salvageable if Dougherty and his team had a clue as to how to stage action scenes, but these too are similarly flat, ugly and unappealing.

Not as good as the recent Kong & Godzilla films at capturing the sheer scale of the giant monsters.

Not sure what people were expecting at all. The Godzilla movies have never been the highlight in terms of the story side of things. All I wanted most were big monster smash action sequences and this Godzilla delivers that for about 2/3rds of the movie's running time. They are really well shot and the CGI to me was fantastic. You get these huge iconic monsters battling it out such as King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, and Godzilla himself. As a modern Godzilla movie, I was satisfied with the outcome.

I never thought I would be bored by Godzilla fighting a bunch of monsters. Unfortunately, despite it being a pretty competent film with a few nice shots, there is not much else. I enjoyed the slow burn of the 2014 film, but this is filled with action like it's a Michael Bay Transformers film. Much like those movies, this seriously lacks in the human synopsis, being scattered with under developed characters and leaving little impact on their actions in the film itself. Disappointing.

Considering how much I loathe the last American Godzilla, I'm not sure what compelled me to try this one. I guess morbid curiosity has a lot to answer for. It sure didn't disappoint with it's horribleness. Can't even list all the things, but honorable mention goes to: Too much exposition. The weird "it's an alien!" asspull. Having the people worried about climate change be the bad guys is already a tiring trope, but feels more offensive now that Australia has been on fire for roughly a month.

Epic choirs = awesome. Mushy monochrome visuals = not. Looks like a classic case of quantity over quality. Let's have lots of cgi vfx shots, and do none of 'em well, so let's just have a shitty, low-contrast picture, where you can't see shit, so noone'll notice the effects don't look that great. And let's also have lots of monsters instead of plot or story. And let's waste a lot of time with establishing shots (and scenes), instead of doing anything interesting.

The massive scope of the worldwide adventure plot and the monster lot is great and it's pretty cool rooting for Godzilla as the film's superhero of sorts-a reclusive and proud personality taking on all the big bads even when he seems down and out. The human side of things is a harder to engage; props for effort but the family drama is a bit convoluted, the environmental discussion is one and done, and overall it bloats the film. Dr. Serizawa's emotional monster moment was a nice touch though.

Unlike it's awful predecessor, this understands what people go to a Godzilla movie for (to see Godzilla & watch monsters fight) & since it delivers on both counts, it feels wrong to give this such a low grade. Still, despite some new battle variations (Rodan's midair spins & Ghidorah dropping Godzilla from a great height) it's still mostly just a lot of grappling & pushing. The big problem though is the humans whose beliefs & actions are constantly based on ludicrous assumptions.

Same as the first one - too much focus on boring human drama and not enough on kaiju throwing down, which is what we're all here to see.

The monster action we do get is pretty cool though and Mothra getting multiple big hero moments made me happy.

...I really enjoyed it. The updated mythos for Ghidorah, the much-needed update to Rodan, a fine interpretation of Mothra, and good ole Godzilla doing his thing. The side characters are much more engaging and easy to follow this time around, never too serious or too comedic, loved all the little hints to Toho's films, and while the story and pacing is off, come on, we mainly watch these things to see monsters fight. Since that's mainly what we got, I can't help but be happy.

None of the characters feel all that fleshed out, the back-story falls flat, and the plot too linear. The complete disregard for human life even dulls the monsters' destruction. The movie doesn't care, so why should we? Even the battle scenes failed to capture any sense of scale or majesty of what could have been epic monsters.

The downside of this level of CGI bukkake is that it looks and feels like a cutscene in a video game. Like it's predecessor the monster moments totally miss impact - it doesn't feel like any of this takes place in our world, but on some drizzly, blurry, dark videogame planet. The obligatory family drama does not alleviate any of that, it just creates draggy intermissions. Great sound design though, my subwoofer loved every second of it.

I don't know if Bradley Whitford was best friends with the writer or something, but his lines were all grating and unnecessary and I didn't understand why he was in charge of the military. Pace moves along well enough. Fav scenes: Antarctica battle and M0 hydra also getting charged up in Boston.

I thought it was on par with Skull Island and Godzilla. Some of the human stuff wasn't very inspired but whenever the monsters were on screen it was thrilling, with quite a few "hell yeah" moments.

Dougherty showed some skill in his previous films, at least with style and suspense, but King is a generic blockbuster through and through that is badly paced and full of cringeworthy dialogue and corny cliched moments. The family drama is incredibly dull and the tone is way too serious. Why can't Hollywood accept that these films are inherently silly and have a little fun with them? Visually, it's a bit of an eyesore, with cold yellows and blues which is surely an old hat combination now.

History shows again and again how modern Godzilla movies point out how uninterested most people are in humans, which is not to say that the human element here was great (it was serviceable).

Does a good job setting up Godzilla vs. Kong as basically a Titanic grudge match, and some shots are spectacular. Stop bitching about the size of the monsters, seriously?

So much stuff is happening in this movie. Why is there so much stuff? It's easy to become desensitized to mass carnage when every scene is dedicated to being as momentous as one can possibly imagine. There are a number of scripting and directorial choices which are silly at best, and embarrassing at worst. And after all, I come to a perhaps unexpected conclusion: I still find this to be fairly easy and watchable light entertainment.

I don't know what more you want from a kaiju flick. Plenty of genre references, ridiculous science, even more ridiculous history.

This is a real audience splitter; if you like monster movies and are a fan of the Godzilla universe, this is great. If not, there probably won't be much in there to keep you interested, because the plot is lazy and there is definitely not enough explanation for the layperson. Which is a shame because the cast is fantastic but don't have much to do. But, hopefully, you're here for the monster mash, which is absolutely fantastic.

The visual effects, creature design, and cinematography are stunning throughout this movie. Which lets be honest if you are watching a giant creature flick that's the main draw. Unfortunately the human story in particular Vera Farmiga's is often dumb. The film suffers from too many characters many of whom are poorly written & one dimensional. As a Godzilla fan fan this film truly delivered for me but for general audiences it was likely a better written human side of the story from being great.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters follows in Kong: Skull Island's footsteps delivering well-choreographed monster fights, however with a darker tone and atmosphere more fitting to 2014's Godzilla. The plot is a little predictable and the character drama a little silly, though there's a surprising amount of world-building (coupled with plenty of world destroying). Brown screams a lot; Whitford is delightful; McCreary's score is the MVP in a film that does justice to the Kaijū genre.
