Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the American Godzilla film i wanted 5 years ago. That film bored me and it seems alot are upset that this is not more like that. I'm glad, this was awesome. I talk of blockbusters being epics, this might not have been the cultural phenomenon that Avengers Endgame was, but for a Kaiju nerd this shit was pretty fucking epic. This is how i wanted a big budget Godzilla film to look. "Boo hoo, i hate remakes", well go watch Shin Godzilla, the old films still exist and are still being produced, i love them but this is how an American translation should have been. Watching it i felt like a kid seeing these films on a Saturday morning on Syfy or a Saturday Night on Creature Feature. If you want human aspects, it is still here, and the acting is good and has heart, but unlike the 2014 film, we don't have to wait an hour to see Godzilla. Giant monsters, fucking shit up and fucking each other up, all i wanted, and it is what i got. So stoked for Godzilla vs King Kong. Michael Dougherty clearly has love for the source material, and i'm just going to say fuck it, watch his Trick R Treat, it is a masterpiece, i hope this film leads him to more projects.
