I really should've justified my reasons for liking 2019's Godzilla: King of The Monsters a long time ago.  But anyways, this is belated.  So anyways, I should give a short consensus first:

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this movie a solid 7.

Now, for my consensus:

Godzilla: King of the Monsters doesn't match the greatness of Kong: Skull Island, but that doesn't mean it's bad.  The story (while mediocre) is ambitious, the family drama element is a great touch, the visual effects and cinematography are stunning, and the cast gives mostly solid performances in badly written characters, with Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes) standing out as probably the only star to get an actually good human character in the film.  Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah get great designs, and some good (but reptitive) fights.

 

But now, I need to go deeper into this movie.  So here we go....

First, I should point out what drags this movie down.  What exactly drags the movie down is too.  many.  human.  characters.  If they chopped half of the supporting cast off, then it would work.  But a lot of the supporting characters say basically only a few things and they aren't needed.  Most of the main characters and main supporting characters either stand gawking at the titular monsters or pulling off really stupid decisions.  The only human character that amounts to anything is Millie Bobby Brown's Madison Russell but we'll get to her.  Another thing is that even though the fights are cool, but are repetitive as it's the same thing.  Over and over and over again.  And the third act drags.  I'm not kidding.  And Mothra x Godzilla is weird.  Also, Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) is the worst human character in a Godzilla movie.  Ever.

Next, the good things.  So Madison Russell is the only good human character in this movie and actually makes better decisions than everyone else because of course.  Then the CGI and cinematography is captial A-Amazing and the titan noises (besides Ghidorah) are well-crafted.  Even though the third act drags, it's a cool battle and it shows the power of visual effects.  And the story while mediocre is ambitious and the family drama element is solid.  And it also does a great job of setting up Godzilla Vs. Kong.

But anyways, this movie gets a lot of things right.  and a lot of things wrong.  But hopefully Godzilla Vs. Kong is the massive hit WB needs and this cinematic universe will continue.

But yeah overall, I think Godzilla: KotM is a good movie.

And now I'm never going to watch it ever again because it got worse the 2nd time I watched it.

That's all folks! Upvote and comment below...

Gman is very bitter over this series and people's opinions of the series

Xenotaris,
Not bitter at all over other's opinions of it. I just find it incredibly over hyped and unable to live up to past films' standards. It's just when I point that out, people get huffy.

Yes we know and people don't like when you do that because it makes you look like a purist, no offense. Pointing out that the MonsterVerse doesn't live up to Toho's films may cause newer fans to be turned off from ever viewing the older movies, just saying.

Xenotaris,
Well, the reverse of that is it telling people to not give their opinion, which I'll take responsibility for, but am not going to do. Telling people how to have a conversation or to tell them not to converse about it is equally, "gatekeeping".

Admit it though, the MonsterVerse is ambitious though.

I think most of the contention is based on the fact that communication is online, which makes it feel more hostile and foreign, The mask on seeing emotions makes for misunderstandings. I TRY to sugarcoat things often, and try to stop from ranting. Also this is why I haven’t really stated my opinion on KOTM. Not talking about a subject isn’t a great alternative, but communication online requires a certain educate. Which obviously I’m not great at, so I guess I’m being a little Hypocritical

sonictiger,
If it's not strong enough to make you want to go back and watch the rest of the series, then no. It's not.

What?  I grew up in an era where cgi is the name of the game

Yeah. But apparently not the expansion of horizons. Enjoy you're name of the game.

I would prefer CGI if I was animating, but then again, I want to build my own suit. Has anyone on the forum done that?
