Godzilla: King of the Monsters is probably this year's best popcorn movie. If you went in expecting a series of hardcore monster mashes, then you will have a lot of fun with it. If you are a die hard Godzilla fan like me however, you will get so much more enjoyment out of it. Critics have bashed this movie for not having character development in it, yet they forgot the main characters of the movie are the Monsters. If you have watched literally any Godzilla film you would know that the human protagonists/antagonists were never the spotlight of it. Walking into a Godzilla movie expecting human character development is like walking into a drama and expecting a comedy with well written jokes. It makes no sense. I guess i just wished some critics knew what they were going into before nitpicking things that have no need to exist in a film like this.
The movie ain't perfect however. The reason i called this movie a "popcorn movie" is because while it is extremely enjoyable (especially if you're a Godzilla fan), it's not really all that special and there's not a whole lot of new things you haven't seen before. The plot is incredibly predictable and the movie played it safe for the most part. But the film didn't need to be masterful or anything, sometimes being simple is the way to go.
So overall, i enjoyed King of the Monsters a lot and i personally think it's one of the better films to come out this year so far. I'll gladly buy the blu ray and watch it again and again with a big bowl of buttery popcorn and a drink by my side.
