Screw the critics, this movie was not that bad. In fact, it was solid. The monster fights were breathtakingly top notch, like Pacific Rim was. And the human characters weren't abysmal, like Pacific Rim 2 was.

My guess is Kong and his Skull Island squad will take on Godzilla and his servants. I'm down.

@KWilly - I agree, I personally was wowed by the visuals, especially for a budget of $170 Million. I expected at least $200 Million for it. Sure, the story was a bit weak, but no one should walk into this expecting to give it an Oscar for best script. It was fun, it gave a lot of homages and fan service to the original Toho films, I can't wait for the sequel, and I would recommend anyone to check this one out!

I love the genre who doesn't like big monster destroying stuff and I can understand it's not for everyone.

@Matador -

Then why do Transformers movies do so well at the box office even the bad ones ?

Maybe Godzilla King of Monsters is just bad movie which it was. Except for fans but that's why it only made 49 million this weekend.

General Audience loves giant monsters destroying stuff.
Matador
Matador - 6/3/2019, 9:57 AM
@DoubleD - That's why fans of Godzilla don't care what others think it's for them and the kids.

Everybody else can go [frick] off.

Bumblebee, which was actually a great movie in the critic's eyes, didn't do well. It got drowned
in an Aquaman tsunami.

I enjoyed the movie but understand the flaws people had with it but I’m just glad I got to see Ghidorah rodan and Mothra in hd quality treatment!

Long live the king and see you all for comic con trailer for kong vs Godzilla!

I am quite sick and tired of the "Critics don't know what they're talking about" narrative surrounding this film (and other films like it). It's like people don't know what a critic is meant to do. They critique every single aspect of a film and unlike regular moviegoers and fanboys AKA tribalists, they're not meant to turn their brains off, sit back and enjoy some monster vs monster CGI action, especially since King of the Monsters isn't even just that.

I enjoy watching The Room more than most movies that are considered good. It makes me laugh every single time. But I wouldn't disagree with the critics that say it's a bad movie, because my own personal enjoyment does not necessarily supercede its objective quality. There's a very big difference between enjoyment and evaluation. Critics are meant to evaluate movies, not necessarily enjoy them. They can enjoy them too, but that's not the primary purpose, and people that like the current movie not doing so well with critics need to understand that.

@DnA - LOL "tribalists". That's some haughtiness right there.
Kumkani
Kumkani - 6/3/2019, 7:58 AM
@DwightKGroot - I think "fanboy" is a nice word that really has a bad meaning these days, which isn't fair to people who are fanboys or fangirls.

So I use tribalists.

@DnA - I was a film major in college and actually knowing what you're talking about DRAMATICALLY changes your views on movies. I like how one of my professors put it: it's a different level of enjoyment. I find it totally impossible to turn my brain off. What I have to do is ask myself if the negatives of the movie outweigh the fun and enjoyment I got out of it, because there's zero doubt that, as far as writing goes, it's mostly bad, with some awful character decisions and head-scratching plot points, but I can put that all aside because the general humans aren't totally unlikable and the pure spectacle and visuals are top-tier.

Ignore the rest of the human characters and just have the camera follow Ken Watanabe around next time between monster fights. Fixed

Ghidorah did not summon Rodan. He came out of his slumber with that ORCA. Then got slapped around by Ghidorah. Honestly, very disappointed that my boy was just a lackey.

Honestly i loved it. i dont get all the hate for this movie. The plot was thin and very predictable but who cares? The human actors weren't all the bad tbh, a few cringe worth lines but nothing to ruin the movie. And the action was f*ing amazing, Godzilla and the other monsters looked phenomenal... like... whats up with all the hate. This movie is EXACTLY what i wanted it to be

Screw the haters and critics. This movie was epic in every aspect in which a monster movie has to be epic.
No one watches those movies for the human characters. They are just the 'reporters' that share our perspective and show how humans would react in such a scenario.

Long Live the King!

"I didn't particularly enjoy Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but there's no denying that this was awesome"

Fraud.

The "human" story was dumb but the MONSTERS which is why we're alllll here were fantastic..... SEE It

Houston Brooks wasn't recruited by Monarch in the post-credit scene of Kong: Skull Island. He was in Monarch
from the beginning of the film when he and Bill Randa when to meet a US Senator to get funding for the Monarch/Landsat mission to Skull Island.

Monarch was about to be downsized out of existence because US involvement in the Vietnam War was ending
(resulting in less government spending across the board) and due to the organization not having found any
evidence of giant monsters since Godzilla in 1954 and I think that Mothra egg in 1961.

It appears that Monarch was withholding information even from a high-level researcher like Bill Randa who was
operating under the belief he still needed to find "proof" MUTOs exist.

It appears that Monarch was willing to be shut down by the US Government rather than open its files to the US Senator
controlling its funding. Instead, Bill Randa had to go there of his own initiative to save Monarch.
