Godzilla 2014 had a great slow burn structure that would've worked really well if they didn't (spoilers) kill off the only semi-compelling character in the first act. Still the best of the Monsterverse movies tho even if that's not saying much. It at least had really good atmosphere/concept
Kong Skull Island was wildly overrated. It looked nice and John C Reilly stole every scene he was in but...the positives stop there! Think it's also hurt by the fact that I loved PJ's King Kong and this was just so far inferior in every aspect. With that said, the second best of the bunch!
King of the Monsters is one I would've never watched but a couple friends wanted to come over to watch it, we had a few beers, and that ended up being the only valid way to watch it since it actually was sort of fun in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way. The dialogue/characters/plot were all so bad it bordered on parody, but it was fun to laugh at at least. And tbh the ending fight had some sick moments when it wasn't constantly cutting away to the unbelievably underdeveloped human characters (srsly what a waste of Chandler and Millie Bobbie Brown)
This one definitely seems like it'll be much more King of the Monsters than the other two. But tbh I'm sure I'll end up watching it anyway. Maybe it'll actually be intentionally fun this time! | I thought it was the worst of the bunch tbh (: The 2014 Godzilla just keeps looking better in retrospect. But yet I still watch! idk I liked the more somber tone that one struck more than the goofiness of these recent ones. Which, goofy COULD be fine considering the very silly subject matter but good god is the dialogue in these movies painful
1. Godzilla (5/10)
2. Kong: Skull Island (5/10)
3. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (3/10)
4. Godzilla vs Kong (3/10)

human stuff bad. I don't have much more to say than that, but the deaf girl/Kong dynamic was at least cute and added something semi-interesting. So that's...something!
Fights were p good though honestly I liked King of the Monsters better in that department. I liked the brief moment where Kong seemed to be trying to do his classic jaw snap on Godzilla. It's kinda hard to believe this is the same character that stemmed from that movie! (:
Didn't like Mechagodzilla's design much tbh. They should've made him a thicc boi like the real Godzilla |
