Long Reigns the King

Titans, just a bunch of titans everywhere I look and honestly, I really love it. Seeing these massive creatures going head-to-head is just a treat.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is exactly the kind of juggernaut the movie world needed and it made its way into my top film list. The movie has its flaws, and I agree with critics about the undeveloped human characters, but the film is not really about humans, is it?

I personally find the focus on the kaiju really important to film’s overall story. Yes, some human characters are good, but the monsters are the real MVP’s. Thank goodness for good CGI, otherwise the movie would have been a complete letdown.

The numerous fights between the monsters are amazing and forever stuck in my mind. I loved how none of the titans are the same, although Rodan could have gotten more screen time. Godzilla, the king himself was outstanding and I applaud his performance.

Godzilla also has some comedic moments, so you don’t have to worry about it being a complete CGI movie. The direction was great and it makes me excited for the next movie in the series. Also try to catch all the Kong: Skull Island references and easter eggs.

Members of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch 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.

My Verdict

The movie is fun, filled with action and scenes you will never forget, however it might not be to everyone’s taste. Some people might not be into seeing giant CG monsters fight, but I still recommend that you give it a try. I personally think the movie has re-watch value, so don’t miss out on this gigantic movie.

My Rating: 7.5 out of 10 – Good
