Not a single shot looks remotely real and everything is drowned in boring storms and rain. If you can’t make two giant monsters fighting in snow look good, then all is lost. Don’t even talk about the acting. What an endless shitshow.

I don't know what more you want from a kaiju flick. Plenty of genre references, ridiculous science, even more ridiculous history. Actual fights between monsters rather than flicking away just as they meet (looking at you 2014 Godzilla). It's no cinematic great and you sometimes lose a sense of scale but it's a decent entry into the genre.

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.

Wasn't expecting a whole lot from this considering I only liked the original because I vibe so hard to Gareth Edwards's wavelength, but I was not expecting it to be this insultingly stupid and mind-numbing.

I saw this two days ago, and already it feels like a bad dream with a few memorable moments.
Jun 14	joel-w-m	65 _26%
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.

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.

Godzilla bu sefer 3 başlı ejderha ve 1 ateşli hindimizle savaşıyor. Aksiyon sahnelerine bayıldım. Fakat siyahın binbir tonunu kullanılmasına görüntü yönetmenlerine anlamıyorum. Senaryo'da mantıksızların bol olduğu bir film. Bilimi kötüye kullanılan kaç tane senaryo göreceğiz. Oyuncuların rol paylaşımları başarılı. Godzilla, 3 başlı ejderha ile savaşı, şehirleri parçalaya parçalaya, işini bitiriyor. Kelebek gibi uçar timsah gibi ısırırım.
Jun 11	amazedemon	67 _70%
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.

All said and done. This is the Godzilla movie we deserved. From the beginning King of the Monsters is nothing short of old-school Kaiju silliness. Heavy on the monsters and low on the human intrigue. Which is EXACTLY what the fans wanted. Even so. The human drama this time around was in short supply, but still far more compelling than anything from Gareth Edwards 2014 effort. In the end this movie is a blast for any fan of the franchise.

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.

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. There are long stretches where none of them are on screen at all and that's just not acceptable. The monster action we do get is pretty cool though and Mothra getting multiple big hero moments made me happy.
Jun 06	Jamesmack	75 _40%
Jun 06	backwardsuit	49 _12%
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.
Jun 06	Exirel	60 _45%
More of the same. With some cool moment.
Jun 06	mkellins	20 _5%
The few kinda cool monster battles do not justify the over two hour run time. The rest is filled with infuriatingly boring dialogue, terrible jokes and obnoxiously uninspired score. Sadly, even the more famous cast didn't help, because no one bothered to write proper characters.

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). I enjoyed King Ghidorah as a villain and anticipate where this could go in the future vis-a-vis alien invasion and aliens vs. the Titans. 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?
Jun 05	Obdurate	80 _64%
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. Having the humans help Godzilla so much kind of nerfed Godzilla; I think he should have really PROVED he was the king by overcoming adversity rather than requiring assistance.

I expected the humans to be boring (which they were), but what I was disappointed with was how poorly they captured the size and scale of the monsters. It lost the awe factor because you can't appreciate/imagine about what you're looking at.

This movie is for everyone who doesn't liked the slow building "Jaws" like step the first film took. The WrestleMania of the Kaju. Every two minutes there is a nod to a Toho Gojira movie or an Easter egg to other Godzilla related stuff. The world is getting a nice build up, the story works for the most part if you enjoy "crazy ass japano insanity Kaju movie logic" shit. The battles are great. The music is awesome and Mothra is bAe.

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.
Jun 03	The Pirate	80 _61%
...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.

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.

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.

Watched IMAX. Avengers: Titans. Had all the monster battles I paid for in a variety of regions as long as you like smoky settings. Annoying family that ebbs and flows between terrorist and tolerable. 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.

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!
May 31	Mirelurk	60 _34%
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.

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.

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.

Not as good as the recent Kong & Godzilla films at capturing the sheer scale of the giant monsters. The human characters are uniformly uninteresting and their deaths barely elicited a shrug whereas I react more to the creatures getting injured. Plenty of spectacle, destruction and monster fighting which is really the most important aspect of this kind of movie

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.

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.
