Following the global success of 2014’s “Godzilla” and this year’s “Kong: Skull Island,” comes the next chapter in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ cinematic MonsterVerse: an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history. The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
This was very enjoyable for what it was - a summer popcorn monster movie. I enjoyed it just like the last Godzilla movie but nowhere near as much as Kong: Skull Island. It's basically the same problem I have with all Godzilla movies. Why is it that they are never able to film anything Godzilla close up? Everything is always from far away and with a wide angle type of lens. In Kong you actually believed that there was a giant ape doing all these things. They way it was shot made you feel like he was there with the humans in the movie. I never feel that way in Godzilla movies though and it's always kind of annoyed me. This movie had that same problem.
I would still recommend anyone interested in these kinds of movies checking this out though. It is a good summer popcorn movie watch and worth checking out.
