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...

SarcasticGoji,
I don't think there's any fighting going on. Just a lot of disagreements that some are taking too personally. As far as not giving the Monsterverse credit for not inspiring newcomers to watch other movies--Why should I if it's not? If that's something people are taking offense to, why? Even sonictiger said he wasn't going to, so he even helped that consensus. I don't really get it.

"Why can’t I voice my words, In the way I mean them?"

You can. And that's exactly what I'm doing. So I suppose I should ask the same question if this isn't the case.

I just am worried that people are starting to get carried away. Your statement, could be true. But to me it sounded like you were targeting SonicTiger and trying to be snarky.

What I meant by my words is that ceratin emotions are hard to achieve in this communication, sadness and hppiness are extremely difficult, while anger and frustration are easy and often what people read it as, because it is so impersonal.

Anyways I misunderstood your statement. And what seems like personal fighting is just debating, and can seem to some people as hostile. Maybe thats why people started saying drastic things during past disagreements. (Im not referencing anything said that I’ve seen, only what you described about 1998 and other events)

expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst

Glad this was resolved :) 

I do mostly read what was said as aggressive, which can be a little stressful.
