Follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species - thought to be mere myths - rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Honestly a virtually perfect albeit very Westernized recreation of a Heisei-era Godzilla kaiju superbrawl picture. I mean they even have a Godzilla Defense Force-equivalent airborne superfortress. Deeply stupid, overpopulated with human characters, still a total blast. If only they'd stop staging the monster fights at night in CGI dust clouds.

The classic example of a creative team pulling the worst from its predecessor and failing to develop on its potential. Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, as an origin for the new 'zilla incarnation and a study of humanity's insignificance amongst ancient beings, was a miraculous success even if it chose to portray the titular creature as a vehicle of Spielbergian suspense. The constant cutaways were playful and frustrating, lending the climax an extended fanboy payoff that worked for some and didn't for others. Fair enough. Enter Godzilla: King of the Monsters, directed by modern cult horror auteur Michael Dougherty, which offers neither satisfying humor or credible scale for a giant monster mash, all while being stuffed with a truly terrible human-storyline,…
So, I'm not entirely surprised that this is getting mixed reviews. I think it's something that afflicts the Godzilla franchise as a whole, rather than just this latest film. In my opinion, there are two main reasons why people dislike certain Godzilla films.
First, we must consider the fact that Godzilla is just not for everyone. It's a very niche franchise that began as a series of sci-fi B-movies, featuring actors in rubber monster suits wrestling amongst, or demolishing, miniature buildings. And, for the most part, it has maintained that 50s B-movie vibe over the years. It's not exactly the kind of thing that appeals to everyone. Furthermore, the Toho films are often targeted at a young audience. There's a…

YO the problem with Godzilla is just that he is TOO ALPHA Y'ALL!!! awash in axe body spray, jalapeno poppers and hooker perfume, Godzilla stumbles from his Dad Cave, Oakleys and Bianca en lock, his Cop Badge askew, ready to reaffirm his place in the Natural Order, an Ancient Hierarchy undone only by the arrival of from Outside an (Illegal) Alien because only something Badass From Beyond The Stars can pose a Dominance Threat To Brozilla whose Foxy Ex Still Pines For Him Even Though He is Too Much Monster To Actually Tie Down But Can't Tell Him As She Holds Silent Vigil Outside Hospital Door After Near-Fatal Macho Injury. Everyone and Everything in this movie, by its own admission,…
Was. Für. Ein. Brett.
Irgendwo in der Mitte von "Godzilla 2" gibt es einen Punkt, da wird aus einem brillant fotografierten, aber immer wieder auch beliebigen Blockbuster-Getöse plötzlich ein AB-SO-LU-TES Spektakel. "King of the Monsters" wird mit jeder Minute fast unmerklich besser und entlädt sich am Ende in einem Finale, währenddessen ich immer wieder einen Gedanken hatte: YES! Das hier ist endlich der Film, den ich mir all die Jahre gewünscht habe!
Warum das?
Rückblick: 1997. Das erste amerikanische Remake von "Godzilla" wird angekündigt. Was war ich aufgeregt damals. Die herrlich schrulligen Gummi-Keilereien in groß, mit fettem US-Budget und entsprechenden Effekten - wie großartig das wohl werden würde, dachte ich...uuuuund dann kreischt da plötzlich Matthew Broderick durchs Bild. Das "Godzilla"-Design…

This is still a miserable mess. Lacking the scale and weight of 2014's Godzilla while still committing to plodding exposition and cardboard characters. It takes about an hour before anything interesting happens. Most of this is boring filler humans talking in rooms about the monsters while Bradley Whitford is tossing out Joss Whedon-esque zingers. The monster fights, when we finally get to them, are smothered in debris and weather effects, with frequent cutaways and a nonexistent sense of geography. It really strains the Mythic angle to the point where I don't really know what I'm looking at. At least the color-grading is teal/orange soup for most of its runtime. King of the Monsters tries to course-correct the issues of the Gareth Edwards' installment but ultimately resolves none of it while adding a bunch of its own problems.
