Interesting... I’d like to see more of this.

MDK isn’t the only one interested in this.

In a sense. On the one hand, it shows Toho that Godzilla is still a viable and beloved property in Japan. And whether Legendary continues to make movies or not, Toho very much will.

And even if Legendary/WB don't make any money off of Japan, they at least know there's an audience there--Which could help in the future.

I see.

So this doesn't really help it or harm it.

Skubyrustis,
Assuming the deal hasn't been altered since 2014, Toho gets to keep all of the Japanese box office income. However, that also means Legendary/Warner Brothers can't profit off of Japan and we'll have to subtract them from the total world wide take.

Hmm. Maybe Legendary has the rights to these charcters! we may see some in GvK. or future movies! (if any)

Really nice to see Japan likes it mostly.

So, Japan may want to continue allowing Legendary to make more movies given the money they make off of it, because Japan gets to keep all of this, correct?

 What I love most about the movie is that overall, it does everything right. It honors and stays true to the spirit of the original films, bringing back the best of the monster characters, all while telling a brand new story with the best love and care to story, characters, and amazing affects. In my Pinyan, there’s not one thing that this movie does wrong. This is among, if not the best Godzilla film of them all, save perhaps the original. This movie gets the monsters right, and vans and newcomers alike are in for a real treat with this one.

Aside from Godzilla, because really it is almost impossible for Godzilla to not be your favorite,  it is nearly impossible to choose another favorite, because all of the monsters are amazing. The filmmakers were brilliant to choose Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah to return; this is the cream of TOHO’s crop.  If I had to choose a favorite, though, I would have to say King Ghidorah; here, he is depicted as the evil, powerful, and magnificent spacefaring villain he was always meant to be. He is the Joker to Godzilla’s Batman, and he deserves the number one spot. 

I like KOTM because Godzilla is as fit as he's ever been and when he goes toe to toe with Ghidorah you can feel the punches and bites he dishes out and the suffering and pain he receives in return. Also blue is a dope as colour, fit for a king of the natural world. 

Gotta admit, This is exciting. I hope this means something good.

When I was young, my world was extremely limited. I was afraid of a lot of things, things that would scare me would become my nightmare for years to come. I hated the things in this world that serve no purpose but to give good scares and high thrills. I hated things that would destroy mankind's place in this world, because I believed we didn't deserve it. I hated giant monsters. I hated Godzilla. 

I avoided watching anything Godzilla related throughout my childhood; giant monsters, unstoppable killing machines, unbeatable plagues (or a combination of the three). I loved watching Jurassic park and it's sequels, at least the animals were smaller. (the raptor ambushing the hunter was not my favourite part). It became clear that I would never acknowledge Godzilla ever in my life, that I would never encounter the big G and what he stood for in American and Japanese audiences. But something changed.

Cloverfield. This movie captivated me the first time I watched it back in 2010, 2 years after it was released. It was the first time I watched a found footage film and it immediately caught my attention towards its style and its tone. The monster scenes still scared me as I still did not like monsters destroying mankind and its cities. As the film progressed, I felt more sympathetic to the characters and their struggle to find the main character's lover in a city besieged, reminiscent of the 9/11 attacks. As the military was trying to stop the monster with rifles, tanks, artillery and airstrikes, I never thought I would have these feelings as I was watching a monster movie: the sheer amount of joy. Humanity was not allowing the creature to destroy their city without a fight. I felt a sense of pride for my fellow man, even if it was still futile. That day I changed my view on monster movies, I wanted a sequel that gave me that same joy I had while watching it. I was hungering for more. 

I had to wait 4 more years before I can satiate my Kaiju action. I heard there was a new kaiju movie that would return a cultural icon back from hibernation. It sounded promising.

Godzilla was finally introduced to me when I was 17. It was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Ever since then I watched the Heisei and Millenium movies. Godzilla X Mechagodzilla is without a doubt my favourite from the millenium era, as well as its sequel and GMK. My love for the Big G became a passion, a near obsession. I was a Goji fan. I waited patiently for 5 years for King of the Monsters, watching and rewatching Godzilla 2014 over and over again until my brain memorised each of the characters and the roars and sounds of the monsters. It was absolutely worth all the wait. 

So I grew up watching the Godzilla movies with my father. Starting with Godzilla 1984 (The Return of Godzilla) and have watched them ever since. For me at the time they were out of this world. My favorite is still the Heisei period.

And when Hollywood was given a chance to make their own the first time, I went with it. And when they rebooted the series again with Gareth Edwards I fell in love yet again. And now this, KoTM has by far been my favorite All Out Monsters Attack movie. The best part of the film for me that brought back memories was when the original Godzilla theme started playing. And to be quite honest the soundtrack was everything I could have ever hoped for including the visuals; those were the “frosting” on the cake. What a time to be alive. To see the culmination of Toho’s monsters come to life in a way that has never been done before.

My favorite Titan is every form of Godzilla, especially “human protector Godzilla.” He’s the personification of the Earth being good and that it needs protecting from the bad even if they don't deserve it. I just hope they continue even after the next one. 

What I loved the most from the movie was the final shot with Godzilla before the credits roll. Man that was just SO EPIC! The perfect picture. The real king of the monsters.

My favorite Monsterverse titan is Rodan, I fall in love with him the moment his design for the movie was revealed. Also, he has a funny, unique attitude in the movie, which makes him special and unforgettable.

Excuse me what the heck!? That's awesome! I was already thinking about getting the artbook, but I definitely am now!

Let the wild speculation commence!

Well now I'm definitely getting this.

Awesome! Bring on Gigan and Kumonga ! They need to be in Monsterverse ! 

Hmm...The earliest memory I can recall is playing with a '98 Zilla figure from a bin at the senior center my sister worked at, I must have been 3 of 4 at the time. A couple years later I got one of those big Imperial Godzilla toys from a cousin, and finally my first movie was Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster, which I caught on TV one Sunday afternoon. As an avid dinosaur enthusiast practically since birth, Godzilla was the natural evolution of that fascination with giant reptiles, and so I was hooked. For years after that all the media I had was the Gamecube game and whatever G-flicks my brother would borrow from the library, but I latched on to those with a passion and spent hours pouring over any information I could find. Finally a couple years ago I found a little site called Wikizilla, and there was no going back.

I guess just the fact that they were giant monsters was what attracted me in the first place. The idea that a monstrous-looking dinosaur could be the hero instead of the villain was a dream come true for me, and the more I learned about Godzilla the more I grew to adore the other aspects of the franchise as well. The MonsterVerse is in every respect the culmination of my years of being a diehard fan, and I couldn't be happier I stuck with the franchise as long as I have.

I think my first exposure to Godzilla was the Blue Oyster Cult song, as strange as that sounds. I just remember listening to it as a kid and wanting to know more about the creature that the song was about. Then one day, at a local Blockbuster, I found a copy of Godzilla 1985 on VHS and asked my mother to rent it for me. Came home and watched it and I have loved Godzilla ever since. I still remember my mother trying to tell me how Godzilla was "mean and a bad guy" but I didn't care lol After that, I would try to find more tapes at the video store, but there wasn't a whole lot to choose from. TNT's Monstervision helped though as they had a marathon of Godzilla films and I tried taping them all on video. Now I'm just trying to collect as many of the DVDs and BluRays as I can.

My favorite thing about this film is just how dominating Ghidorah is in this film. Hands down, this is the most intimidating Ghidorah ever!

As for my favorite monsterverse titan, of course it's Godzilla. Can't beat the OG :)

What did I love about Godzilla KOM? I loved the fact that the director KNEW the monsters and lore and managed to display that love and knowledge on the big screen. For those of us that grew up with Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah, seeing them honored with a beautiful film like this is nothing less than a sweet tug at our hearts. It may sound fluffy, but it's true. These monsters bring back so many good memories and good feelings. I introduced these guys to my kids and they loved them from the get-go. My daughter's favorite was/is Mothra. She would pray every night that the fairies would show up in her room. She even made a bed for them out of a cigar box. My son absorbed all he could of Godzilla. To this day, he reads and searches out for Kaiju information. He especially loves Akira Ifukube's music. My favorite monster is Godzilla. As a kid, I was introduced to him during the mid-later part of the Showa series. Godzilla was a protector. He loved kids. I loved him. Again, this film bridges and merges all those times and feelings into a very entertaining film. Mothra is a doll. Rodan kicks butt. Ghidorah is a true terror. And, yes, Godzilla IS KING.

Also, the thing with KOTM being a fan movie made for fans, yeah, I can see that. Although I don't think it was set out to be limited only to appeal to fans. The studio would want the movie to have a broad appeal to maximize the box office. 

That goes back to the polarizing reception between critics and general audience to the film. Critics by and large hated it while most moviegoers loved it. What does that really say?

My most beloved Titan is the big G, Godzilla. How can you hate him, he can dance, slide on his tail, the King of Monsters, and most importantly kick ass. The most exciting seen in the Kings return to the big screen was when Rodan and Ghidorah fought on the cost of Isla de Mara, then Godzilla came to join the party. The most interesting part was how Godzilla became burning Godzilla. Dr. Serizawa sacrificed his life the same Godzilla, and Earth. It was interesting because it was the total opposite from what his father did in the original movie.

G. H. (Gman): Shrugs, I don't know, sometimes it's hard to compare exactly with 2014 since there are obviously different variables between the two movies. But whatever, the only thing now for the studio is to hope that the movie has legs.

Loved: Ghidorah's centre head nipping at his left head!

Best titan: Ghidorah!!

The best thing about Godzilla King of the monsters is the action! I mean I think it should win movie of the year and my two favorite monsters is Godzilla and Rodan. It's just a masterpiece. Pus I've been a godzilla fan since i was able to watch tv

I also want to point out that when Godzilla '14 opened May, 2014, China and Japan did not open the same weekend. They opened later.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters, on the other hand, opened everywhere simultaneously.

macumbalove: Fan-ficition plot? I'm not saying KOTM has a great plot, but I've seen many movies with a worse plot. 

My favorite part of Godzilla: KOTM, besides the incredible monster-vs-monster action, was the soundtrack and musical score, particularly the remastered versions of Ifukube's original scores for Godzilla's theme. The way they were composed and used in the movie really amplified Godzilla's majesty and overall power, and did wonders for the dramatic feel of the movie. I was also overjoyed with the overall treatment of Godzilla and his portrayal as a God-like entity, as well as the numerous homages to the original movies.

My favorite Titan is without question Godzilla, simply because he started my love of the franchise to begin with, but also because of his unbreakable will, his limitless strength, how he answers to no one but himself, and how he destroys any threat in his way with utter disinterest in who or what they are.

I guess we can tell if they release the Blu-ray much earlier than usual. That's usually what they do when films aren't earning as much as projected. Do you guys think those BS critic reviews affected fan turn out?

I really think if any mecha-kaiju was in this film it would be mecha-King-Ghidorah. Due to what we see in the post credit scene for KOTM.

Well, I don't really think KOTM is going to fail. It should at least break even. It has already made it's whole budget back in one weekend after the horrible critic reviews and is still number one at the box office. Also, positive word of mouth is really starting to spread online, a lot of people are online saying "It is actually amazing".

It does have some competition this weekend, but kids are out of school, leaving larger audiences for the weekdays, and the word of mouth is just starting to spread. It could make a descent chunk through the week. After this weekend, there isn't really any huge competition. So, if this positive word of mouth continues and people decide to see it instead of the trash that is coming out, then we can expect maybe a moderate success. But at a bare minimum, i believe this film will break even.

If GvK does really well, and KOTM at least breaks even, then i think they will talk about the future of the monsterverse. GvK will be more of an event than KOTM was and there is less competition around it than KOTM.

Also, a film can be successful without making a billion dollars, we are all assuming a lot only 3 days into the box office numbers. Let us just wait and see.

And Godzilla's my favorite hands down

Spoilers!!

To say I was absolutely awestruck would be an understatement. King of the Monsters was easily my most anticipated movie of the year. The movie all around was a real treat for me, especially since I am a life-long fan of the Big G. I had already had an inkling of how good the movie would be when I heard Bear McCreary's soundtrack not too long ago. Michael Dougherty's direction was certainly that of a Godzilla fan, right down to minute details that only fans of the series would catch on to. The kaiju battles this time certainly feel more cinematic and you can tell that the team behind the effects certainly had a passion for the movie they were making.

When it comes to moments in the film, I'd have to say my favorite was when burning Godzilla was repeatedly hammering Ghidorah with those blasts and Ghidorah tried to use all the lightning he had and Godzilla, in his infinite badassery, just shrugs it off and lights Ghidorah up. Also the scene when Serizawa detonates the warhead, the sub surfaces and Godzilla comes back to life, all jacked up and ready to go. I don't know what it is, like the anticipation of him coming back into the movie or the chant-fueled score for that specific part, but it had to be up there as one of the most memorable parts of King of the Monsters.

All in all, I can't recommend enough for you to go see King of the Monsters, which if you haven't, I don't know why you read this review. But either way, don't listen to the critics, it's a movie made for audiences and one that definitely doesn't disappoint

My favourite Titan is Rodan solely because of his Starscream-esque character and ability to destroy merely by passing by. Godzilla KOTM is an amalgamation of everything that makes a great Godzilla film. The human characters were interesting and though my favourite character sadly meets his end it is with a powerful, sensational moment that almost brought me to tears. The Titans themselves were incredible to watch. The VFX were astounding and brought each monster to life more than ever before. I loved that each monster (including each of Ghidorahs heads) maintained its own personality and distinct behaviour. The fights were so well executed that I couldn't quite believe what I was watching. The soundtrack is beautiful and perfectly captures both the majesty and terror of living in a world with supersized creatures. Rodans theme is a personal favourite due to its bombast and fast paced rhythm. The very best of this film for me personally was the final shot. Godzilla being revered by all Titans whilst an ominous choir chants in the background as he lifts his head to roar his dominance. It was both chilling and jaw dropping. I could physically feel my heart swell as the music reached its peak.

I loved this film and will definitely be seeing it multiple times.

Too many people read reviews from places like Rotten tomatoes. They are notorious for not liking much Scifi. Real fans enjoy these movies because they know what they're going to get. The Millennials need everything spelled out.

My concern, is the size , to me Kong would have to be bigger , stronger , faster and quicker than Godzilla to stand a chance. Unless he has developed a resistance to extreme heat through the years.

What I loved about the 2019 film, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" is that it felt like a Godzilla film. While the 2014 film directed by Gareth Edwards was a faithful adaptation of the character compared to the 1998 film, King of the Monsters brought everything us fans love about these films. This includes great monsters, great fight scenes, great visual effects, and a kick ass soundtrack. One thing I especially loved about this film was the human characters. Though the previous films had human characters, the only characters I cared about were the cast of the 1954 film, "Gojira". This is because they were interesting characters with understandable motivations, plus they were very likable. The same could be said for the cast of King of the Monsters, especially Vera Farmiga's character Emma Russell. The best part about the human element however, would be Dr. Serizawa's character arc in the film. Though he was a side character to deliver exposition and great lines in the 2014 film, he felt like the main character for the first two acts of King of the Monsters.

Now when it comes to my favorite MonsterVerse kaiju, that is a tough decision, but I'd have to go with the astro-monster himself, King Ghidorah. Not only is he the greatest enemy of Godzilla, but he's always been my most favorite monster because of how he stands out to the other monsters. Ghidorah has always been an alien monster, except for in GMK, and so he definitely stands out compared to Godzilla or Mothra, who are earth creatures. This is also why I like kaiju like Gigan or SpaceGodzilla. Well Ghidorah standing out because he is an alien creature is definitely represented well in King of the Monsters, because since he is not part of the natural order is why him being in flight can cause hurricane force winds. Not only that, but we see him regenerate a head after one was blasted off by Godzilla. 

maybe the movie will be:

Kong fights Mechagodzilla and defeats him while Godzilla fights Mechanikong and defeats him and then real Kong and real Godzilla meet and we finally get the real battle

no fakers, no imitations, the real deal showdown
