Members of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species-thought to be mere myths-rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Critics Consensus

Godzilla: King of the Monsters delivers spectacular kaiju action -- and reaffirms that cutting-edge effects are still no substitute for a good story.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

The sound effects in this movie are extraordinary. That roar that Godzilla does? I gotta tell you that I kind of love that. I might make it the dial tone on my phone.

Thrillist

The cast is stacked with otherwise brilliant actors stuck in a borderline incomprehensible plot and forced to play second fiddle to monsters whose powers of wonder wear off fast.

Sometimes you have to be honest about the movie you really are - smashy smash. If you can reconcile that, then it's not so awful.

Rated: 3/5

The film isn’t as aggressively bad as some people are claiming. But it is boring, and that’s arguably worse.

Rated: 2/5

Works on its own, and as a chapter in a larger movie universe that pays off quite well.

For the Win (USA Today)

The scope and melodramatics of this one meshed really well with the unfiltered desire to let these beasts go at it.

This was the perfect balance of an OG Godzilla film, closes American version to a Japanese version. You keep getting more of the story and of the big guy!

The movie is for the true Godzilla fans, everyone else,who cares...the criticism it's getting is over the top, since when do critic's get anything right anyway. This movie was a blast,all the titans looked great and Godzilla was awesome,the soundtrack was perfect...one of the best G-man movies ever, including the new one which focused to much on kong and his story.
