I’d love to see a Monarch prequel series focusing on the twins grandmothers and Mothra. In the historical footage at the start of the various movies, we see monarch operating as far back as the late 1940s, but even by then it was very American in orientation. I think there could be a neat story with the West found out about monsters from the East before WWII and how it would have to focus on them in my mind.

Dynaman Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 As for why the negativity for this film. It can be summed up in one scene. Ever since Austin Powers (?) had the evil guy showing his evil plans via power point the idea of actually doing something like that on screen is laughable - and this film did the equivalent. Sure the human bits in most Godzilla films are filler but they were not, usually, laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangledThorns Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think film could have used better lit daytime scenes like the 2014 film had. The sense of scale and danger makes it one of the best Godzilla film scenes ever IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I thoroughly enjoyed it and my son walked out of the theater humming the action music. Lol. Man, they must’ve mentioned Skull Island like 5 times..and all the while were wondering, where is Kong while all this is going down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehPW Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Well, I saw the movie yesterday evening with my Kid and his posse of fellow High schoolers. It was better than I thought. Yes, the humans were not as good but I totally enjoyed the mindless blink and they are dead moments. The one-sided air battle vs Rodan, where all the pilots die one by one ID4 style was a nice touch... 8 out of 10 Halflings. Lots of things to chew over for the next film (assuming there is still interest or time left on the contract)?

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Finally got a chance to see this and I thought it was very satisfying! Much more than the last go around anyway. I know that it was not objectively a great film but I enjoyed it more than some (more highly rated) MCU films; looking at you spider-man. Haha Definitely a must see for Godzilla fans. Made me feel like I was 6 years old watching monster matinee, hooting and hollering at every punch, kick, and blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalvasflam Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I eventually expect the two to team up, and beat up on the king again. After all, there was a left over head from the King. I refuse to acknowledge Godzilla as the king, it's just so unseemly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it couldn't hold a candle to Gareth Edwards' work on the first film, but there were genuine moments of awe and wonder -- despite the perpetual storms and perpetual darkness -- but it would've been so much more fun if the CGI hadn't been obscured with particle effects and smothered in color grading. The Blu-ray supplementals show off the incredible design work that went into the visuals... ...before they were rendered invisible in the finished film. If I were this guy, I'd be royally pissed.

His work still looked fantastic, the big G's lair was pretty badass. With HDR and everything going, the movie is a bit dark at times, I made a small adjustment to my TV settings for just this film, I bumped the backlight up just a tad, nothing degraded or washed out, and it made a lot of the darker scenes background detail pop a bit more.

mechaninac Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The first Godzilla movie was a far superior one, that I thoroughly enjoyed; after finishing GtKoM I was left with the biggest "meh" feeling due to its -- purely my own personal opinion -- formulaic sequel-itis mediocrity.

tekering Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I very badly wanted to love King of the Monsters, but it puts me to sleep every single time. "Mediocrity" is exactly how I'd describe it, which is a huge step down from Michael Dougherty's previous work (and Gareth Edwards' as well, of course). Mind you, if you look back at its most direct antecedent, 三大怪獣 地球最大の決戦 (Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster), it's a miracle that KotM turned out as well as it did...! Suffice it to say, there are many, many worse Godzilla films, including the ones featuring Ghidorah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991) is still my favorite Godzilla film. Was KotM formulaic? Sure... it followed the formula of maybe a dozen other Godzilla films. The Godzilla formula if you will. I'll give the Edwards film credit for trying something different. And it did a better job of showing the scale of the monsters. But almost every time Godzilla did something in the movie The camera cut away, leaving the movie focused on a human story that wasn't all that great (after Bryan Cranston died).
