King of the Monsters is STILL the Best
3 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I'm gonna be honest and just say, it's meh. I still think that King of the Monsters was the best of the 4, and after they introduced mechagodzilla in GvK, everything went downhill in terms of plot. Is the movie wonderfully cinematically pleasing? Yes! The visuals are stunning and the CGI just gets better as it goes, but it's hard to enjoy all that when the plot is so god awful.

Spoilers ahead: What part of telepathic people makes any sense in a monster vs monster movie? And why can Gia teleport? Everything about the IWI tribe in this movie made no sense to the whole plot and seemed pointlessly forced.

And scar king was cool and all but he wasn't supposed to be the major threat, Shimu was supposed to be the big bad wolf and they spent a lot of time making it seem like she was a threat to global security given the fact she caused the ice age. But then she ends up just teaming with Zilla, Kong, and Mothra in the end and submits to Kong as if she's not another alpha titan who would fight for dominance.

The monsters in this movie compared to the other movies seem so weightless as if they're not hundreds of thousands of pounds, 300 foot tall killing machines. And why are they so human like? It just seems like a lot of the movie made no logical sense, and you'd expect that from a monster movie, but it's honestly just too much.

Overall I still enjoyed the movie, but it's probably one I wouldn't watch several time just for fun with how pointless the plot felt.
