Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a 2019 monster film directed by Michael Dougherty and co-written by Dougherty with Zach Shields. A sequel to Godzilla (2014), it is the 35th film in the Godzilla franchise, the third film in Legendary's MonsterVerse, and the third Godzilla film to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio.
It is dedicated to executive producer Yoshimitsu Banno and original Godzilla suit performer Haruo Nakajima, who both died in 2017.
The film stars Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, Thomas Middleditch, Aisha Hinds, O'Shea Jackson Jr., David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, and Zhang Ziyi.
In the film, humans must rely on Godzilla and Mothra to defeat King Ghidorah, who has awakened other Titans to destroy the world. The sequel was green-lit during the opening weekend of Godzilla, with Gareth Edwards expected to return to direct a trilogy. - Розваги
I'm not a Godzilla fan, but I enjoy Godzilla 1998, Godzilla the Series and KOTM. I can see the flaws of this film, but I still enjoy it and its far better than that boring Godzilla 2014.
I'm an old school Godzilla fan so this movie didn't bother me as much. At least we actually get to see Godzilla in a Godzilla movie. King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan all get to shine. Plus we get to see some new monsters. So IMO it was a decent flick. One of the few decent flicks of 2019.
Great review Matt, I thought Godzilla: King of The Monsters it was Ok, the story isn't anything special, the characters weren't that interesting, thats why don't love the movie, but I Enjoyed the Action & Vera Farmiga & Kyle Chandler did a Good Job Acting, I can Enjoy Godzilla: King of Monsters as a Time Waster, I Still prefer Godzilla 1998 IMO
Glad to see someone else say GMK was the best. Awesome soundtrack and character design.
Yo Matt, did you do a review of Shin Godzilla yet?
I hated that one.
I think you revisit Godzilla Final Wars. It's basically a modernization of the film's from late 70s. And if you go in with that mindset, you might enjoy it
I like Final Wars.
Saw it in theaters and once at home, it’s ok. Definitely better than the 2014 movie, but not a very good Godzilla flick.
I should point out that the *Ultimate Difference* between the original Godzilla (1954) & the two films of Godzilla (2014) & Godzilla: King of the Monsters! The Original 1954 Godzilla wasn't only a Gigantic Monster with a Character but he was a Destroyer, a Force of Nature, Invincible & Indestructible Monster. The Nuclear Atomic Bomb Incarnate if you may call him, he destroyed the Entire city of Tokyo in rumble & ashes, left death & destruction and most importantly left Radiation in his wake as he roamed where he pleased! Even when the scene of the Aftermath you see Men, Women & Children who lost everything testing positive for Radiation Exposure!
Unlike the Original 1954 Version, the 2014 Version & King of the Monsters implies that, "Nuclear Weapons & Radiation is Good & Are the Answers to Life's Problems to Save the World!", which is the very Demon that was condemned by the Director of the 1954 Movie! This Pro-Nuclear Stance where the claim in the Movie that The Titans will Heal the Planet with their Radiation, which I strongly hate in those movies because in the 1954 version literally tells it like it is, Radiation doesn't heal it kills! I honestly believe that the director, Ishirō Honda, the Rest of Toho & the Survivors of Hiroshima & Nagasaki would strongly disagree with harsh criticism!
But again with the Poorly structured Script of this Movie & the complete lacking of whatever the hell was in Godzilla (2014), they're messages are completely a mess from what the Original Godzilla was.
What movie were you ranting on at the 0:44-0:46 mark in your intro?
The Thing 2011 prequel.
gmk and final wars are pretty awsome
I figured if you were to have reviewed this again that your opinion would have changed over time on it.
That said I can see why you didn't like the film. I say if anything this film was more for the fans than the general audience as a whole. Good to watch for the monster action but otherwise not really getting anything out from the characters aside from Serizawa and the story.
Hope Godzilla vs. Kong proves to be better for you if you ever review it.
I was watched Mothra vs Godzilla 1964 a couple of days after I saw this. The difference between the two was night and day. This movie was boring, no tension, and corny in a bad way. In Mothra vs Godzilla I was invested in what was going on and the build up to the main fight was great. Godzilla King of the Monsters is one of the worst Godzilla movies I ever watched. I saw it in the theaters and almost fell asleep watching it a couple of times.
5:50 yeah so it can raise the stakes remember the oxygen destroyer in this movie is a prototype. Even if it's the real deal it wouldn't work on ghidorah regardless. I love this movie the monsters are clearly the stars of the movie unlike 2014. Yes the constant rain can get annoying but blame ghidorah for causing it in the first place I didn't mind it though. The humans aren't that bad. Ken Watanabie is still great. Mark is a decent lead Millie Bobbie Brown is doing fine. Yes these characters aren't the greatest but I can handle these characters over Ford. 5:55 how is that a problem? You complain him showing up an hour in the last movie. How is him appearing 30 to 40 minuets in a problem? Also the fight wasn't that bad. 6:08 soooo the fight in Mexico doesn't count? Also again raising the stakes. 7:05 it wasn't hard to see plus it made sense since Ghidorah was creating the storms. 7:30 not at first godzilla was winning throughout the battle. Until ghidorah got a super charge himself. 7:43 he can't cause Ghidorah is the biggest threat and godzilla knows this. That's why he went after him. Take out the bigger threat the rest will fall in line that proves he's the strongest. 11:33 we have that movie already godzilla vs mechagodzilla 1993 and that movie is awesome. Also Mike Dougherty want to do a godzilla B.C. type movie and I love to see that. 13:40 that's a plot point yes it's possible that humans and the monsters can live in peace it happened before. Read the cover text during the credit's.
Godzilla 2001 is bad ass takes out mothra and baragon,super intelligence
The producers still haven't learned from the mistakes of the previous Godzilla movie "Stop cutting away from the monster smackdowns" I don't want see characters waffling on about stuff when Godzilla fighting I want those monster smackdowns uninterrupted.
Better than the previous film but still found it a underwhelming movie, much prefered Kong Skull Island.
Great review Matt.
P,S Matt UK blu ray distributors 88 films & Eureka Entertainment releasing some excellent Jackie Chan 2k remasters with various versions of his movies.
Operation Conder & Police Story 2 have brand new cuts of each movie definitely worth checking out as theres ton of extras on each movie.
I mainly want to see Godzilla vs Kong for Kong , always thought he was more badass and I also liked Kong Skull Island better then both new Godzilla films
Totally understandable on your view, but I enjoyed it better than the previous one. It does have issues like the mom's plan and characters. That's understandable. But still like it on a visual level. I enjoy the score, especially the reversion of Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla and Ken Watanabe's character sacrifice, which was my favorite part. I'm curious about Godzilla vs. Kong, although I'm still very skeptical, because the director is Adam Wingard, the one who directed that very shitty sequel, Blair Witch.
They couldn't had gotten a better director like Matt Reeves. He would have been ideal given Cloverfield and having done some actual good movies like two of the Apes Reboot Trilogy. Granted not sure what your thoughts are on those so your opinion might be different.
This movie was decent. And this is coming from an old school Godzilla fan who was hyped for Godzilla 2014 and he only had 10 minutes of screen time 😄
I still like the film. But it does cheap on some potential.
But I still consider this film better then every other Godzilla film in the last 16 years.
The thing that would've made this perfect is if the film had between Ghidorah defeating Godzilla & the final battle, have Godzilla work with Mothra & Rodan to fight all sorts of monsters under Ghidorah's command.
it would've been perfect if they didn't obscure the fights by weather effects , Stopped cutting away and just let us have a nice flow of the action and also Improved some of the writing and the dialogue.
@@dexterjones849 I agree
Man I seen this at theaters it was so fucking boring I was focusing on my drink and snack literally and the dialogue man I was rolling my eyes and giggling like what a piece of garbage shit in a can
I still got enjoyment out of this, I liked seeing Burning Godzilla and the Toho monsters in an American film, I do look forward to GvK, still good job on the rant Matt
I hated the first one but I thought this one was alright , I did like the action scenes and some of the characters , it's not as good as Kong Skull Island but still enjoyable.
I guess we're asking too much to see Godzilla in a Godzilla movie 😏
Look at art at its strongest point
I like this movie a lot, I don’t understand why it gets so much hate
Same man
Agreed
Re-review the other Godzilla movies.
Great vid, man!
Im glad someone is willing to acknowledge how bad this movie was. You wouldnt believe the hate Ive gotten for saying so. Ive had Godzilla fans say that this movie should be viewed without standards, that hating this movie is "racist against Godzilla fans" and even that Trump is somehow responsible for the lack of monster action. I wish I was kidding.
If youre looking for an in depth-breakdown of why this movie sucks, check out my review for it. I guarantee youll enjoy it.
I did enjoy this much more than the 2014 one though.
Much more action and fun.
Nice job on the video Matt and I passed on this film because I was not impressed with the 2014 film and I'm more a fan of king kong tbh!
I respectfully disagree with you on this one. I actually really liked that one.
13:43 LAMO!
21:52 Agreed I love that film too it's very underrated IMHO!
Awesome job on the rant I seen the clip you talked about with Rodan vs the fighter jets after seeing it I now have zero interest in watching the whole film it seems between this and the 2014 film they really don't know how to make a good fun giant monster film anymore unless it's ''Kong-Skull Island'' which is a ton of fun I love the idea it takes place in the 1970's at the very end of the vietnam war I didn't mind the cast and characters they played Sam Jackson,John Goodman,John C. Reilly,Tom Hiddleston&Brie Larson worked well off each other the film moved at a very fast paced great action scenes like Kong fucking up those army helicopters &other creatures you see like the skull crawlers and that giant spider this film needs to suck that 2017 film's dick IMHO!

I respect your opinion. But what's Snow Godzilla? Is that a recently announced Godzilla film?
@@DinobotKiryu It a new anime movie and yes
I also enjoyed the video games Godzilla Save the Earth and Godzilla Unleashed.
@@shadowleon659 those games are fun, and war of the monsters is fun
Yup I mostly agree Godzilla KOTM was such a let down, almost every aspect of the film is garbage and lazy, & and of course the underwhelming as hell fight were the worst. But on the contrary I like Godzilla 2014 and after seeing this film I appreciate it more.
This film was crap just like Godzilla 2014. The 1998 version might have looked like a T-Rex but at least the film was enjoyable and had some interesting characters. I don't know why they don't try and make a Godzilla film with POV shots from the Monsters point of view in some scenes. They focus too much on the humans and the action is always boring and shot from a distance.
For me I much prefer this over the mediocre Godzilla (1998)
I agree
Thought this movie was so unbearably boring. Loved the 2014 film, and still do. My favorite Godzilla flick, personally. But this one was so damned dull. The monsters looked great, but the action was so empty. I much prefer the costumed monster fights (even though 2014 doesn’t have that).
In this movie Godzilla was too fat and his head was too small. Ugly design. I fell asleep to this movie. I hated it. I knew I wouldn't like it but gave it a chance anyway. Godzilla is supposed to be actors in costumes not cartoons.
@Cole Reviews Ok
@Cole Reviews They used men in costumes and small models because there wasn't computer graphics yet. Oh, and you forgot king kong 1976. The original king kong is wonderful. king kong 2005 I dont like. I grew up with the original king kong vs godzilla 1962 so that is my faorite. I prefer the old style effects because i am OLD. I never saw the new king kong skull island stuff because I already know I wont like it. If you like them thats fine. I like the old godzilla movies. In real life godzilla would kick kongs ass it's really no competition, they have to make kong bigger and have super powers just to make these movies work because Godzilla is a GIANT monster with super powers while Kong is really just a big gorilla who shouuld really only be knee high to Godzilla.
@@newname5517 This is Cole Reviews with a new account. My old account got blocked for stupid bullshit reasons I’m not gonna get into so I had to create a new account and now my new channel I review a bunch of movies. But I’m doing something different now I’m reading off chapters to books. I finished reading Fear Street The Fire Game which is an adult themed horror book RL Stine wrote and Fear Street is a book series RL Stine wrote before Goosebumps. Now that I’m done with that I am now reading in separate videos Goosebumps Deep Trouble.
I love King Kong 1933, King Kong 1976 Remake, King Kong 2005 Remake, Kong Skull Island, and I even didn’t mind Godzilla Vs Kong 2021.
I respect your opinion I liked Godzilla King Of The Monsters (2019). It was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw in the theaters.
My Top 10 Favorite Godzilla Movies
1. GMK (2001)
2. Godzilla Vs Destroyah (1995)
3. Godzilla Vs Biollante (1989)
4. Destroy All Monsters (1968)
5. Gojira (1954)
6. Godzilla (2014)
7. Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla (1974)
8. Godzilla (2014)
9. Godzilla King Of The Monsters (2019)
10. Godzilla Vs Kong (2021)
I still enjoy this movie, although it does have its problems. I thought King Ghidorah was beyond badass and I really liked the additions of Mothra and Rodan. The human characters didn't offer much either, but I definitely liked them more than the majority of the characters in Godzilla 2014 with the exception of Bryan Cranston. Maybe Godzilla did get his ass kicked a bit too much, but I still think he had his moments to shine as well and I am really looking forward to Godzilla vs. Kong.
