Godzilla: King of the Monsters

The sound effects in this movie are extraordinary. That roar that Godzilla does? I gotta tell you that I kind of love that. I might make it the dial tone on my phone.

The cast is stacked with otherwise brilliant actors stuck in a borderline incomprehensible plot and forced to play second fiddle to monsters whose powers of wonder wear off fast.

Sometimes you have to be honest about the movie you really are - smashy smash. If you can reconcile that, then it's not so awful.

I thoroughly enjoyed director Michael Dougherty's Godzilla: King of the Monsters. It made me smile.

It's just a big-budget waste of resources that weakly attempts some eco-warrior gibberish and leans heavily on disaster movie clichés.

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters presents such a preposterous and idiotic plot, that even those with expert knowledge of the franchise might find it impossible to follow.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters deserves credit as a textbook example of breathtaking kaiju cinematography, even if its uneven writing brings it down.



The film isn’t as aggressively bad as some people are claiming. But it is boring, and that’s arguably worse.

Works on its own, and as a chapter in a larger movie universe that pays off quite well.

The scope and melodramatics of this one meshed really well with the unfiltered desire to let these beasts go at it.
