Godzilla: King of the Monsters | Review
This is a spoiler free review, read regardless of whether you’ve seen the film
Background
As a child I remember watching the old Godzilla Toho films on VHS at my friend’s house. His dad was a fan and purchased one of the collections, which I enjoyed the benefit of.
This effect was compounded by the local library having a copy of The Official Godzilla Compendium, which summarized the plot and production of each of the film releases up to 1995.
All this to say, I walked into Godzilla: King of the Monsters primed and ready for an entertaining film with giant monsters on screen.
The IMAX ticket worth every penny.
The Monsters
The film deliveries on precisely what was advertised in the trailers. We have Godzilla going against foes from his old Toho film days, particularly his arch nemesis, King Ghidorah.
Also featured are classic monsters such as Rodan and Mothra which have been featured in the Toho films previously, either as foils or aids to Godzilla’s activities.
