Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a monster film and the sequel to 2014's Godzilla. The film also serves as the third installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse and is the third time a Godzilla film is produced by a Hollywood studio. The movie is produced by Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and Wada Qingado Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is written by Michael Doughtery and Zach Shields and directed by Michael Doughtery.
The story is a crypto-zoologist agency called Monarch faces off against Godzilla. Then three more monsters named Mothra, Rodan, and Godzilla's ultimate rival "Monster Zero" aka King Ghidorah arrive. Now Monarch has no choice but to put humanity's fate in the hands of Godzilla to put a stop to this new beast.
Initial Reaction
I was fully looking forward to this film when I heared Michael Doughtery was going to direct. Why did that excite me? Because I enjoy his work. Trick r' Treat is an underrated horror film that should be shown more on television and Krampus is pretty good. Not one of my favorite horror films but still entertaining. Then came the first trailer. Hooked. I was just immediately hooked. So many gorgeous shots. Then came the trailer after that and the trailer after that one and I just wanted this film to get here already. So yeah I think it's pretty obvious that I was excited for this.
Cons
I've got nothing to say. Let's move on.
Middle Ground
Now the true mix bag in the film is the human characters. Now I wouldn't say their completely underdeveloped, the writers do try to give them some backstory and such. But it's clear that they were focus on the monsters (but given this franchise that's not really a bad thing).
Pros
One of my favorite things about Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the directing. Michael Doughtery gave us so many beautiful and incredible shots. Doughtery's directing made my mouth drop and my eyes up wide open. The other aspect to enjoy about the movie is the music. I could listen to this soundtrack on repeat. One of the best things about it is they put the classic Godzilla theme and a nicely done cover of Blue Öyster Cult's song "Godzilla" (yes they finally put that song in a Godzilla film. It's about time). Now onto the visual effects, they are done to perfection. The VFX team did not miss a step. The monster's design and their special attacks are quite detailed. The number one reason people went to see Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the monster's fighting and this film delivered. There are lots of fights and rampaging, and it was so beautiful. The final thing I'll give credit to the film is the credit scenes. They do a pretty good job on stepping up the next movie and leave you wondering what's going to happen next?
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the popcorn flick of the year. Michael Doughtery's directing is astounding, the score is amazing, the visual effects are done to perfection, the monster fighting is awesome, and the credit scenes make you want the next film right now. The only gray area is the human characters.
My final rating is Good
So yes guys I definitely recommend seeing Godzilla: King of the Monsters. You'll have a great time at the movies. Alright that's going to do it for me, come back on Monday, June 3rd for my A Look Back at review for 2016's The Secret Life of Pets. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
