the thing that's most disappointing about it to me is that I think even if GVK does well while KOTM fails financially Legendary still wont feel confident enough in the monsterverse to continue it out of fear that a movie after GVK might be another financial failure like KOTM and wouldn't be worth the risk

I think they mentioned the future of the monsterverse depending one whether or not both movies are successful so I think both had to be successes if there would ever be any hope of the monsterverse continuing 

The thing to love most was the absolute killer soundtrack! Every time I heard the original Godzilla theme when he appeared on screen, I had the biggest, nerdiest smile on my face and every time I heard Mothra's theme I couldn't help but well up a little. Notjing says respect for the original series quite like that. 

My favourite kaiju in the Monsterverse didn't get nearly enough screen time but it has to be Rodan. He was the hype and the wildcard, always ready to fight whichever kaiju would turn up, the design was exactly what I want from a modern day Rodan and I hope I wasn't the only one who heard that classic roar of his as well.

I'm officially now Team Godzilla.

What I loved most about Godzilla: King of the Monsters was the sheer scope of the film, and the beauty of the design, especially with the night shots, the glowing neon aspect of Mothra, King Ghidorah looking better than he's EVER looked, and finally - Godzilla reigning supreme better than ever before.

Godzilla will always be my favorite Titan. He's scary, yet loveable. Humanity can co-exist with him if they let him take care of the rest. In the Monsterverse, he's absolutely beautiful to behold, both in scale and design - especially when he shoots out his atomic breath. Just gorgeous, and bright! He will always be King of the Monsters.

The thing that I did love about Godzilla: King of the Monsters, is that this was the first time I bought tickets for my dad and I to go see at 4:00 pm on May 30th. I thought to myself about that this film is a mix bag for me, but I still want more of Godzilla. I love what Legendary did to Godzilla and King Ghidorah designs. With Godzilla they made him a bit more faster and more powerful looking. With K.G love how big his wing span is, making him look bigger and fearsome with his wings. Mothra was defiantly awesome looking. I don't know what to say about Rodan though.The music was even better than the last American Godzilla film, I bought the soundtrack before I saw the film. The two things that I didn't like about the film is 1) I thought I got IMAX 3D tickets and 2) No one got up and cheered for the monsters on screen.

My favorite Titan from the Monsterverse is my boy, Godzilla. The reason is that I love Godzilla more because he's such a bad@$$ and he is the reason why I love monsters in general.

It’s hard to deny how much I love this movie – and just how happy I was. The only thing more difficult than that is deciding on my favorite part of this joyride of a film.

From the amazing fights to the beautiful soundtrack, everything was enjoyable in my eyes and solidifies it as one of my favorite films in recent years. If I had to pick one specific moment or scene, it’d definitely be the first encounter between Ghidorah and Godzilla. Two big names I’ve grown up loving, finally clashing once more – not as two people in suits ( not that it’s an issue! ) but as two true behemoths. You can feel the hate and malice between the two and the emotions from either beast. That interaction alone is what made this movie so exhilarating and amazing, especially with it being so early on in the film.

As for my favorite Titan / Kaiju? King Ghidorah without a doubt! Almost always he’s been a threat – and this movie lives up to it. It honors him as a true villainous monstrosity, and I couldn’t be any happier at how well he was designed for the modern audience. Sounds, looks, he has it all. I just couldn’t contain my emotions at seeing him in action. 

What I enjoyed about Godzilla: King of the Monsters was all the Easter Eggs in the movie that hardcore G-fans like myself appreciate. I enjoyed how they treated the source material with respect while also making it their own. Very entertaining movie in comparison to the slower 2014 movie. 

My favorite Monsterverse Titan has to be Godzilla with Ghidorah as a close second. Awesome movie!

My favorite part is the entire film. The characters were handled with respect and thoughtfulness. None of it came across as campy.

My favorite Monster is Between Godzilla and King Ghidorah. Loved them both. 

Ny favorite part about the movie is the amount of fan service. So much of the movie was for fans. The oxegyn destroyer, the end credit music, hits and all that. And just the amazing power these monsters possessed.

Also if doesn't Destoyah doesn't show up now that they pulled the oxegyn destroyer move I'll be surprised. 

Godzilla has been my favorite ever since I was a young girl. Just love Godzilla's overall awesomeness and atomic breath

Congrats!

Go collect your medal

I became a fan as a little guy back when NBC had the Hanna-Barbra's Godzilla power hour cartoon around 1079-80 ish time frame. 2 years later I went to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla in the theater. I was hooked when I saw it. 

Ever since watching KOTM, its in my top 10 Godzilla movies right at number 9. Anyways what I loved about the film was the monster action and the involvement and development with the human characters.

For the human characters, Mark (SPOILERS) starts out with hating Godzilla because he is responsible for the death of his son Andrew which caused him to have a divorce with Emma but was kept in contact with Madison. In the story, you see that he now respects Godzilla and even joins the mission to revive him. Dr. Serizawa and Graham are more involved with the story and are not just sitting behind a desk. They are out there all over the world doing the best they can to help out with the situation.

The monster fights were fantastic when Godzilla and Ghidorah fight in Boston some moments are seen from a human perspective adding some scale to the fight. The Mothra and Rodan Dogfight was cool too, I was surprised when Mothra revealed her hidden stinger. And how Godzilla killed Ghidorah was just.......wow.

Overall, a 4.3/5

My favorite thing about GKOTM was how they didn’t wait till the end of the movie for fighting to begin. I loved how they incorporated a lot of the Monsters and not just 2 or so. Also, I love how they added the fire Godzilla, the scene where Ghidora is about to eat the girl and she says “long live the king” awesome!!! You absolutely can’t be a Godzilla fan and not like this movie. My only hope is that in GvK, they do not kill Godzilla off or allow him to lose to Kong. More of these movies please!! I grew up on Godzilla and now have my kids hooked!!

I think my favorite part of KOTM was, oddly enough, Mothra. I'm not a Mothra fan, but this was my favorite portrayal of her in any movie since Tokyo S.O.S. The bio-luminescent light she gave off was great, and the symbiotic relationship with Godzilla was a cool idea too. I loved the scene where she first breaks away from her cocoon under the waterfall, and when she shows up to lead them to Godzilla.

My favorite Titan is still Rodan tho. He's the best!

Hard to pick what I loved most. I loved everything really. The easter eggs, the origins of the monsters, the personalities of the monsters, the sound effects, the music. I loved everything. You could see that they weren't just beasts but had their own thoughts and feelings. Like how each of Ghidorah's head's had their own personality. The left was more curious, the right seemed more aggressive and the middle was the serious one. Godzilla almost looked shocked and thankful for how the humans brought him back to health. The Monsters looked amazing. They really payed homage to the original versions. Ghidorah was an alien. I was thrilled by that. But I think what I loved most was the fight scenes and the ending. The Titans bowing before Godzilla as the true King of the Monsters. My favorite Titan is without a doubt Godzilla. I love them all but Godzilla stands at the top. 

My favorite thing about kotm has gotta be the mix of tones. I went from being terrified of Rodan during his awakening to thinking he's a badass when he taking down the planes. There was some beautiful moments with Godzilla and serizawa that I'll remember for a long time. The score was gorgeous. I do not regret dragging my roommates to the imax showings and neither did they. Im glad I got to show my friends this incredible Kaiju match.

My favorite Titan is definitely Godzilla. It's an easy answer but the underdog little Kaiju that could attitude is hard not to root for. I hope to see much more of him in future films or in action figure form!

King of the Monsters was the ride of my life, the most anticipated film in my life. Enjoyed every second of it. I had tears of joy with every single detail of it. When classic themes were played I felt I couldn't be happier. I had already listened to the soundtrack before but hearing in a cinema with the most badass film ever was top notch for me. It's a miracle to watch for us fans. I followed the whole journey of this film and I couldn't be happier. I've always been a Godzilla fan, but if I had to choose outside of him I would probably choose Destroyah

In KOTM, I liked the fight scene's. They are fantasticly amazing. Finally, Mothra is a badass moth. She's frightening and dangerous. Anyway, the movie was soo good and i can't for the fight with Kong

Godzilla and Mothra cause there both king and queen of the monsters by far 

i loved the movie from start to finish Godzilla vs Ghidorah to the teary moments including mothra and Godzilla’s tag teaming against Ghidorah and the fight between rodan as well greatest film ever

#TeamGodzilla

I haven’t been this pumped for a movie in a long time and for the first time, in a long time, I was more than pleased with KOTM. Immediately after, I truly felt as though I watched a Godzilla film. I loved the first one (2014). But this movie felt right. From opening using his original roar, to using original music and using it perfectly, to also making me feel for the human characters. The first film didn’t do this for me and this film exceeded my expectations. Every time I thought maybe they’re going to cut away from fight scenes for human interactions, it didn’t. I felt so immersed in this movie and I loved every moment of it. The underlying message was clear and was felt throughout and I feel that each classic monster was well done.

Im just going to have to go with Godzilla as my number one, as it’s been since I was a kid watching the movies on VHS on repeat (still have em).

I also realize that this movie has had critics divided and isn’t making as much money, but I know that I loved it and couldn’t have asked for a better Godzilla movie. All I can say is, they got it right.

My favorite moment it's in the final battle when Godzilla and Ghidorah are about to clash and the camera makes like this close ups to each monster while they roar! That's one of those moments when all the tension explode and the goosebumps become on exicetement and amazement!

I loved all the titans but definitly Godzilla is my favorite, this Godzilla has everything: good design, size, it feels powerful, has funny moments (in the first fight whith Ghidorah he falls haha), sad moments, scary moments, and when it arise again while the godzilla theme is playing that moment leave you speachless.

I still don't understand why Warner Brothers moved the movie from March to May. Supposedly this was a move out of confidence, but WB's long history for showing strength via release schedules has bit them in the ass before. I have no idea why they thought a summer, post-Avengers release was going to work.

There's only so much money to go around and clearly audiences decided Godzilla was the one to axe in order to save some cash. Had it been released during its original date, with fewer big movies to siphon money before it, it might have done better.

Rotten Tomatoes factors in to this as well, because audiences put too much stock into it--Especially when there's so many Blockbusters being released round the same time and only so much money to go around.

And finally, the fact is this movie is just not connecting with a lot of general audiences. As cool as references to the Shobijin are, things like that will go over audience members' heads and could have been cut entirely. Easter Eggs are fun, but the movie is a little self-indulgent and only a niche group of audience members are going to catch it all.

I don't think the 5 year gap was that important, especially since you don't really *need* to watch Godzilla 2014 to watch KOTM (maybe taking the '2' out of the title could've helped), but the competition didn't help either. I think it would be better off to release it later (The Realist mentioned a March release, but that would end up sandwiched between Captain Marvel and -most importantly- Endgame, so dunno if it would be the best)

Plus it is the end of semester for a lot of countries. Exams tend to leave little free time, so (at least over here) people get more picky about how to spend it.

My favorite part was Rodan's jet fight and the volcano emergence. Rodan was just so awesome in this movie!

My second favorite part was Serizawa's sacrifice.

The emotional weight was staggering.

My favorite titan was obviously Rodan. He's a badass kaiju!

My favorite part about Godzilla: KoTM is seeing the new Titans showing up that were released by Ghidorah's roar and that final clash between Godzilla and Ghidorah when he gets superpowered, not to mention seeing Ghidorah regenerate. Speaking of the three headed monster, Ghidorah was my favorite monster from the original series but this one is a thousand times more badass and I cannot wait to see MechaGodzilla and it's later two incarnations, especially Kiryu. I also loved Dr. Serizawa and his assistant. As fore my favorite Titan, Godzilla and Mothra are my personal favorites.

What I loved most about Godzilla KOTM was seeing all the monsters I watched as a kid finally come back to the big screen ! 

My favorite Titan has to be Rodan ! The way he was used in the film was amazing especially him chasing the Argo! 

I absolutely loved many things about KOTM. From the creature designs to the balance between human and Kaiju scenes. Watching Godzilla and Ghidorah fight was amazing. Favorite scene would be Ghidorah on top of the volcano and seeing him in all his glory. I wish there was more Mothra and Rodan scenes but Mothra was so beautiful that seeing her burst out of the cocoon made me speechless. I also loved how the main head on Ghidorah kept picking on his left head who you could tell was the goofier one and the most curious. Watching Godzilla bite his head off was cool too. My favorite Monsterverse titan is Godzilla. He's always been my favorite since I was little. After seeing KOTM I really like Rodan more than I thought I would and I also like Mothra more as well. I've always really like King Ghidorah too and when I heard he was gonna be in the movie, I knew it was gonna be badass.

Godzilla is my obvious fav but Ghidorah was a true terror so he gets it!

SPOILERS:

A lot of this movie was GREAT, I see a lot of complaints about the human aspects but some of the moments in this film were shocking and heartfelt. My favorite moments being first Serizawa's final moments with Big G, it was the deepest moment for a lot of people but for me the context behind all of it knowing his origins and how his character was in 1954 almost brought me to tears. I loved all the monster fight scenes, Rodans awakening, Mothra's full adult form revail etc. The most epic scene of course being Fire Godzilla or Burning Godzilla absolutely destroying Ghidorah and watching Ghidorah try to heal up after getting hit etc. I loved the film and even though it's not doing how well it should in Hollywood I'm glad to have been able to see it.

Godzilla King of the Monsters was a perfect fan service.

My favorite parts were (SPOILERS) the Rodan chase scene with the Argo to Ghidorah. The music during the scene is amazing, the cinematography is next level, and the sound Ghidorah makes after Rodan pulls away and you can see his silhouette is both terrifying and amazing.

Then the final battle obviously. Godzilla's thermonuclear abilities are amazing! The CGI made it look so good, then you have the fantastic soundtrack during it. and after Godzilla makes Ghidorah explode you see his head come out of the rubble, but it turns out Godzilla has it in his mouth and explodes it with his atomic breath. There is so much to love about this film.

My favorite is obviously Godzilla, especially after seeing his thermonuclear/fire godzilla powers! He is the most powerful Kaiju, and his design in the Legendary Movies is beautiful. In this movie he also gets a couple of cute scenes with humans and i loved that. That type of stuff is usually reserved for Kong.

The best thing about King of the Monsters for me was the insane scale of the film. The Avengers had NYC mostly destroyed, but Godzilla becoming a living atom bomb in the heart of Boston? The MCU has nothing on The King! This is what Godzilla films are about, and KotM does this exquisitely!

My favourite Monsterverse Titan is Godzilla, but only until they (hopefully) unleash Anguirus in modern glory!

The movie didn't exactly have a great release schedule. It's surrounded by huge openings, and the fact it is 5 year after the first doesn't help. The reviews weren't exactly great either so anyone on the fence probably opted out over 1 reason or another.

All of those are factors.

This movie was released around a lot of competition, Aladdin, The Secret Life of Pets 2, X-Men Dark Pheonix, and more. Godzilla can be big, but it is not big enough to compete with all of these other big movies.

A lot of people do trust RT so word of mouth is probably what will get people to see this movie, there is the chance it'll have strong legs.

I also think a lot of people may have lost interest due to the five year wait, and even the two year wait from kong.

I also think it has something to do with the name and the type of movie it is. KOTM is a movie by a fan for the fans. Not many people know who Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan are, so they will be less inclined to watch it because they don't know the characters/monsters.

also, the name doesn't really hint at how action packed of a movie this is, people may still have a bad taste in their mouth after Godzilla 2014 (which i personally loved) but a lot don't like that movie, they may have thought this was a repeat of that. With Godzilla vs Kong, people know it will be Godzilla fighting Kong, and almost everybody knows who those two are.

Anyway, G:KOTM is a movie for the fans, GvK is going to be a movie for the general audience. That may save the Monsterverse.

Unfortunately, I think Godzilla is the villain. The comment at the end of KOTM in which was stated "he is our ally... For now" has me concerned. My apologies if the quote is not word for word.

Gmkgoji

Yeah... Sadly. It might break even, might.

The whole future of the monsterverse is relying on the success of GvK...

Which, for reasons stated above, and new theories i have formed (which im too lazy to type haha) i think GvK will do good.

Lemme knoww if you want to hear those new theories though.. Ill post them if people want. 

Its simply not a May property. This would have been bigger in March imo. Too much competition and I don't think general audiences have a ton of desire to see giant monster movies. Pac Rim, Skull Island.. Godzilla 2014 is the only one to break $200 million in the US.

The fact that we have this movie at all is a gift to the fans. I never thought we would see this and we may never again.

The movie was made by a fan for fans thus the general audience was alienated. They showed WAY too much in the trailers, and it had a bad fan fiction-type plot.

I dunno

Please make more than '98 domestically. That's all I want at this point

EEssh, I'm not sure Gkotm is gonna do well anymore
