Godzilla: King of the Monsters…..
I loved the first Godzilla film , back around 1956, the American-ized one, tho years later I saw the Japanese version Gojira which is 100 times better and serious film about Japan's horror with WWII. It is interesting that Godzilla film was associated with the atomic bomb while Gojira did that too but emphasized the fire bombing of Tokyo which was bigger horror for the Japanese.
Like King Kong Godzilla became a Family Friendly Monster , I hate this!
When I saw the 1933 King Kong in 1952 when I was 12 years old it scarred the peediddly out of me, that was so delicious!
Now days Godzilla is everybody's sweetheart , screw that!
This new movie is a dump down from the 2014 Gareth Edwards Godzilla which was a cut above the Roland Emmerich 1998 , tho the Edwards one was not at all terrifying.
The main problem with this new Godzilla movie is the story is a chaotic mess.
The next one which teams Godzilla with another monster that has turned into a protagonist should be done by someone with imagination like del Toro.
