Godzilla: King of the Monsters Reviews - Long Live the King

Agreed easily the thing the bums me out from the reviews I've read.
Those weren't critics. People need to realize that those early social media impressions aren't worth anything.
Ya'll need to stop hating on TLK. It's one of the most unintentionally funny big budget movies of the decade.
King Arthur, Merlin, medieval explosions, Harriet Tubman, Nazis, robot butlers, nonsensical plot twists, Marky Mark wielding a sword.
It's got it all!

I can at least pull out a so awful it's ironically hilarious scene from bayformers 4 and 5. Godzilla and skull Island are just simply bad in that they're plain boring non-stop all the way through.
TLK is so bad it almost looped right back around to being good. Almost.
I mean when it's 80% of the movie it's a problem (see Bayformers) and when the action is a blurry mess that is incomprehensible and trapped behind a gradient filter that makes it super dark and full of shit flying everywhere (see also Bayformers) then it's kinda warranted.
This man gets it.
No, apparently it's gonna be the next Pacific Rim Uprising.
Both Skull Island & Godzilla 2014 are phenomenal films. I'm genuinely wowed at how many people can't even appreciate the former as great popcorn fare (I get that the latter is an aquired taste).
I'll tell you when I watch it.
Because Pacific Rim was legit one of the best movies of the last decade.
I legit feel like I was the only person that watched it from early screening and wasn't hyperbole on it.
Didn't think it was very good but surprised at the reviews considering 14' and Skull Island were pretty crappy and reviewed well. This is at least better.
It's a pretty stupid movie though, with a lot of it seeming easily avoidable.

I mean, the two most acclaimed godzilla movies were more than dumb fights
throwing that out there amigos

I got my $14 worth just from hysterically laughing to the point of tears watching Anthony Hopkins, academy award winning actor, running from a bunch of incomprehensible CGI doing the fucking old man shuffle and having to have clearly CGI'd parkour scenes. It was beautiful.
Everything else is just dumb nonsense.
I can't vibe with this opinion at all and I don't even really like those two films that much. Everything after the first Transformers which was largely decent has been absolutley terrible. Bay one upped himself in how shit they were with every sequel.
No shit. I thought pre-screenings like a few months ago people were going bonkers with what they saw? :(
Hell, we had some ERA members absolutely gushing as well. What happened?
I like how the movie implies that the autobots were involved with freeing the slaves. It's like the writers threw in nonsensical and absurd shit just to see what they could get away with, and it all ended up in the movie. Truly amazing.
This and some of the other reviews read as though people saw two entirely different films. Like is the action an incomprehensible mess or is it as this review states, "...drama on a scale never before seen, with the action rendered in the most vivid and awesome detail possible. There isn't a single frame of monster fighting that doesn't look ready for a poster print."
Strange, I hope this is the review on point.
Gojira and...? I actually don't know what the 2nd most acclaimed you're talking about is. Biollante? Godzilla vs Mothra?
That's a throwaway line, there's so much other hilarious shit in those films that people are sleeping on.
Which is a weird critcism imo because it needed more Kaiju and less human meddling .
Oh I'm aware. I've seen all of them...
The Romeo+Juliet law scene in AoE still blows my fucking mind.
Oh Shin. Eh. It's good, but I feel like a lot of the critical hype came from the director and it deliberately bucking tradition. Also the fucking astounding atomic breath scene.
I just want to see fun, high production Monster Fights. It would be nice to see an interesting plot and good performances out of the human cast but Godzilla films rarely have those. I will be there Thursday night and next year for Godzilla v Kong.
People expect more from movies now. There's a reason why this is only tracking for a $50 million OW
A balls to the wall giant monster movie was never going to review well with mainstream critics. I'm just hoping for the sake of the movie's box office that it doesn't score too low.
From the trailers alone I know it's already better than Godzilla 2014.

As someone that loves expensive CGI kaiju, I want this movie to surprise at the box office, but at this point, I've settled on this one underperforming, Kong being the last one we get, and the inevitable reboot in 10 years. I mean, shit, that's more than I expected, so.
the biggest thing with any Godzilla movie is no one gives a fuck about the humans
but we also don't want to see the monsters talk, never forget....
honestly they should have gone full camp and had aliens bring ghidras to earth

The script has seemed like garbage since the first trailer, but the action and cinematography seem good enough to get me to give it a shot.
I didn't need the critics to like it, Kong Skull Island was way better than it had any right to be and I wouldn't even call it "good", but very entertaining.
All they had to do to sell me on this movie is have Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Rodan, something I never expected to see in an American Godzilla film, and that was enough for me to.

Yeah... put me down as another one that loved the 2014 movie, so I don't think reviews for this kind of movie really mean much to me.
"Balls to the wall"
Ummm, keep your expecatations in check lol
How are film makers not getting that we really, really want to SEE the monsters?? Not try to see them through a shaking camera.
I'm surprised that he rated this one positively when he hated the 2014 film. Alonso's usually tough on movies.

Maybe there's some hope left for me yet in this film.
