@colliderfrosty: Had real issues with #godzilla (2014). The movie was called Godzilla but he was barely in it. Thankfully @Mike_Dougherty's #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters is awesome. It's everything I wanted last movie to b but wasn't. If u want to see Godzilla fighting other monsters u will b happy. https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/s...073345/photo/1
@arcticninjapaul: #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters is the modern day Godzilla movie you’ve been waiting for. It’s everything the 2014 Godzilla isn’t, while still retaining the best elements of that film and elevating them x 100. Monstrous action that rattles the theater. So damn good. @GodzillaMovie https://twitter.com/arcticninjapaul/...56448/photo/1L
@arcticninjapaul: There’s so much passion for the creatures in this film and the camera lingers gloriously on all of them. This is a monster movie that fires on all cylinders and I can’t wait to see it again. Pure summer movie fun. #GodzillaKingoftheMonsters
@arcticninjapaul: Will have a full review later this month, but if you’re looking for a simple recommendation, this is a must-see summer movie. It gets right what the other modern-day Godzilla movies got wrong (in my opinion, of course). Finally! #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters
@DanCasey: Godzilla: King of the Monsters rules so goddamn hard. Easily the most fun I’ve had in theaters all year and the best Monsterverse entry yet. The scale is mind-boggling & every action scene could be your new desktop wallpaper. See it on the biggest screen possible. #GodzillaMovie https://twitter.com/DanCasey/status/...710336/photo/1
56% on RT on 46 reviews so far...seems light on plot and human characters. People so far seem to love it or not. I want to see Godzilla and the monsters tear shit up which it apparently has plenty of [Reply]

Who watches Godzilla for plot and human character arcs? The fuck is wrong with people? :-) [Reply]

42% on 95 reviews. Dark and tons of monster action. I'm guessing the plot and characters are weak. Crossing my fingers I enjoy it. [Reply]
I haven't looked at any negative ones yet, since my go-to reviewers have all been positive, but I will say this: the positive reviews I have seen have been have been overwhelmingly so. They all seem to love it. [Reply]

I've seen mostly positive too but typically from critics with the same type of movie tastes as me. I'm excited to see the craziness. [Reply]

Godzilla and King Ghidhora keep the pomp hand strong.
Just got home from seeing the flick. A few notes, any potential spoilers will be in tags.
Loved...
The monsters! Godzilla looked great, Gidorah looked great, Rodan & Mothera looked great.
Monster fights were great
The music was perfect, "remixes" of the old Godzilla March from the Toho movies sparked a lot of nostalgia for me
Monster roars were well done, not perfect matches to the old Toho roars but updated, for lack of a better term, for the new movie
Hat tips to the old Toho movies galore, from the Subijin for Mothra, Gidorah's origins, and other throwbacks were mixed in the movie
Getting to see Millie Bobby Brown be someone other than 11 in "Stranger Things" was cool, she did well in her role
Ken Watanabe was excellent in his role as well
Hated...
Dear God someone at WB hire a competent script writer for these movies, the human element of the movie nearly put me to sleep
The plot was lacking and most of the actors were wooden to put if kindly
Forgive me this rant but can we please have a monster fight in daylight without some sort of driving rain storm?!?!?!
As a huge Godzilla fan I give this movie 2 grade;
- Monster Part 8/10, great but not excellent
- Human Part 3/10, awful script, poor acting, and I had zero interest in any of the humans in the film [Reply]
