Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Sometimes you just have to let go of rooting for the humans and root for the monsters instead.

The monster fights alone are worth seeing on a huge screen. Just don't go looking for a realistic plot or science.

As the puny humans flail, Godzilla, the Cary Grant of giant monsters, emerges with his dignity intact.

Godzilla: God of the Monsters fails to deliver on the promise of an epic monster film.

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 real reason to see Godzilla: King of the Monsters is its gargantuan monster brawls - the biggest put on screen maybe ever.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters delivers killer kaiju - but at a cost

This Godzilla sequel packs an overwhelming punch with awe-inspiring moments of creativity and compelling storytelling. It is well-rounded, not only in its casting, but in its ability to make you feel a wide array of emotions. Go see it, go now.

It's not a good time or aesthetically pleasing or even very exciting. There are two or three fantastic apocalyptic images, but that's about it.

It feels like overkill. Too many under-developed characters populate the story, too many plot points are crammed in, and the special effects are bludgeoning.
