Yoooooo, people who hated Godzilla 2014 actually out here acting like this a better movie. LOLROFLMBO! B-b-b-but muh monster fights! Please, Godzilla still feels like a side-character in his own movie and every time one of these titan fights starts to get interesting the camera cuts away to check back up on whatever the wishy-washy turds at Monarch are doing. Michael Dougherty can't make glorious destruction like Gareth Edwards can and the brief glimpses you do get of the action you came to see are obscured and clouded by environmental effects to the point where you might as well not be looking at anything. All this stuff you all complained about in the 2014 film is still here yet you're excepting this time around because Godzilla has a few classic names to throwdown with? Nothing has actually improved. So sorry, but I'm gonna have to call you guys out on your crap with this one. If anything, this a huge step back from what we got before. The writing is just terrible. Only marginally less stupid than Pacific Rim: Uprising, which still holds the title of dumbest Kaiju movie, King of the Monsters doesn't even make use of it's one potentially good idea of people trying to use the titans to reverse humanity's effects on the environment. Instead it's just watching a bunch of idiots constantly flip-flop on whether or not they want to kill Godzilla and company, while Kyle Chandler struggles to decide on whispering or yelling all of his lines. Like seriously guy, just talk normal. That's perfectly acceptable. Between this and the "talent" hired to make the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong, it looks like the MonsterVerse is trying to take advantage of what appears to be the DCEU's recent comeback and snag the crown of worst cinematic universe right off its head. A shame, because before this it was in the running with The Conjuring Universe to be the MCU's second. Now it looks like we may need to behead this false king. His castle has begun to crumble.
