 What is going on guys? Welcome back to the channel critical overlord here. This is going to be the review for Godzilla king of the monsters This film was directed by Michael Daugherty Well, he was written by max born Borenstein I think he worked on the original film not the original film But the film that came before this the first Godzilla movie that we got in this new universe back in 2014 He worked on that script Stars Millie Bobby Brown Kyle Chandler Vera Farmiga who you guys will know from the Conjuring universe and of course millie Bobby Brown We know her as 11 from the Netflix stranger that series We have Bradley Whitford ice cube son is in I can't think of his name. I think it's OSHA Jackson The movie itself I want us I'm gonna just say off the bat. I grew up watching old Godzilla movies So I've seen a few of the Japanese movies. Yes, I remember that the characters were forgettable I remember that the moves was mostly focused on the monster fights and the fact that these were about giant monsters Colliding and fighting and then the humans were just kind of afterthoughts But the thing about that is we spend most of the time in this movie with the humans. We can't we have to We're not spending our time with these monsters 90% of the time We're spending the time with the humans So when you're sitting here looking at a movie that has a very weak plot going for it Like I feel this Godzilla has You have an uninteresting male lead, which I feel this Godzilla has None of the performances are even bad It's just all very uninteresting because the biggest issue that a lot of people had with the first Godzilla Was how he didn't have any screen time, but the movie was titled Godzilla This movie they correct all that we get plenty of Godzilla, but then they also They don't balance it out with that Semi-decent human drama that we also got from the original movie What we get here is human drama That isn't as interesting compared to the original movie and just a lot more Godzilla now the problem with that is once again We are not spending our times with these with the monster throughout the film We're with the human so if we're going to be with the humans We need to have something interesting going on with them That's not to say that the whole entire plot was this was not interesting at all It's just that the plot felt very weak and the humans felt that they only existed to go from one fight sequence to the next with these Monsters whereas when the one from 2014 we got to get breaks in between certain fights And of course same thing with this move we get to see the monsters fight more But then the cameras are not always focused on the fight as soon as they start fighting We're switching over to the humans. We're switching over to Millie Bobby Brown's character switching over to something else with the humans Everything in the movie is visually amazing and it's shot. Well, the cinematography looks fantastic The acting is good It really just comes down to that that that story the story that we're sitting through with these humans It's just very it just feels like it's missing something. It doesn't feel It doesn't feel any type of it doesn't feel like there's no No significance to it. I feel like even because even the first one I don't think that one had that much significance But it was still somewhat more interesting what we see here because I feel like it's just fight after fight after fight after fight after fight after fight After fight, so then we're not getting enough time with these characters. None of the characters are really developed. They're really only here To just have I would say that most of these characters they are They're just one-dimensional characters that are here to pass time to get you from one fight to the next and the fights between these Monsters are amazing. Godzilla looks amazing the CGI all the visual effects everything Everything that had to went into making them fight sequences and the way this movie looks that is all fine The acting is fine everything and there's those are all the pros. It's just that the story is just so it feels Boring it does feel boring. That's not why it's bad. It just and also there's like a few not even a few I think there's a many plot holes that have to do with Kong skull island because There's a mention of the fact that they didn't know about a certain monster But that can't be true because Monarch Mentioned this certain monster or there's there's reference to Monarch knowing about this monsters Existence in Kong skull Island. So it's just like little things like that. I Give the movie a six out of ten. I enjoyed it for what it was This movie was not bad by any means. I do think the original Godzilla was better the one that came out of 2014 I gave that one a six point five I give this one a six. Yes, this one is superior in terms of the visual visual effects the cinematography The fight sequences and the Godzilla screen time that we get but that's about all because when we get all of that then they start Losing the human side of things the human story just wasn't doing it for me This movie is not bad by any means definitely go check it out Let me know what you guys thought about Godzilla king of the monsters down in the comment section below If you enjoyed it, let me know down in the comment section if you did not let me also know why down in the comment section below If you liked this video make sure you subscribe and turn on post notifications So you never miss a video in your description I have links to all my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there to let me know movies news reviews We would like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys.
