Today, I am going to do a second review of the Monsterverse, so there's no time to waste, so lets get started! Also, I do not dislike or hate any of the films, but this might change with how GxK is looking.
1: Godzilla (2014) This was the first Godzilla film I ever fully watched, and wow, it was an awesome start to the Godzilla Fandom! The characters are great, especially Ishiro Serizawa. He carried this film to the beginning and end! The main character, Ford Brody, is also a pretty good character. The monster scenes, though, are amazing! Godzilla is such an awesome monster, with his gigantic size, and large presence. The Mutos are pretty great, too, with their deathly, scary presence. The writing of the film is great, with its slower pace, and more leaning to human scenes. Overall, Godzilla (2014) gets a 10/10!
2: Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021) An awesome fourth film to the Monsterverse! The monster scenes are great, and the human scenes are also great! The humans are well fleshed out, except for Mark Russel, for some reason. He suddenly thinks Godzilla is a bad guy, despite seeing him, quite literally, blow up King Ghidorah! Speaking of King Ghidorah, his presence in the film as Mechagodzilla is great! Mechagodzilla in this film was built to counter Godzilla and the other Titans, but frees itself from the control of Apex. Kong is also a great addition to the film, especially the part where he speaks to Jia. Speaking of Jia, I love her character! Despite being the deaf, mute character of Team Kong, Jia still shows so much emotion! Overall, Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021) also gets a 10/10!
3: Kong: Skull Island (2017) This film, is awesome! Back when I made my first review of this film, I said that Kong and the other monsters were barely in the film, and I had a problem with that, but now, I love this film! The monsters are awesome, especially when they're on screen! Kong shines in this film, with his foreboding, godly presence. The Skull Crawlers are great antagonists to Kong and the humans. Speaking of the humans, I love them. Especially Hank Marlow. I love how he is in this film, being both serious and funny. At the end of the film, he is reunited with his family, which I love. The emotion of that scene is great, especially with him finally getting his Beer and Hot Dog. The Iwi are also great characters, with their serious attitudes. The other monsters of the film are also good, despite some only getting five or ten minutes of screen time. Overall, Kong: Skull Island (2017) gets a 10/10!
4: Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019) I know, I know. Before, when I did my first Monsterverse review, I gave KOTM the short end of the stick, but after my latest rewatch of it, I got new, much nicer opinions of it. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is a love letter to the whole Godzilla Franchise, with new and old rivals and heroes. King Ghidorah, the big bad of the film, is great. Mothra, amazing as always. Rodan, "Rodan is badass." -My Dad. Godzilla, he's the best. His new design, DougheGoji, is awesome! With the Showa/Heisei Era inspired Dorsal Plates, he is just awesome! The human characters, they're great, but I think we go from one side of the humans to the other too quickly. Like, for instance, we'd be on the team with Godzilla, then we'd jump straight to Jonah's team. Speaking of Jonah, he is a great human villain! His dark, moody presence. His foreboding, strong attitude, he's awesome! Madison Russel shines in this film! I'd say she's our second main character, with Mark Russel being our first. Madison is a great addition to the film, being on the side of the viewers, wanting the Titans to stop. The final battle in Boston is what makes this movie shine, with Godzilla and Mothra fighting King Ghidorah and Rodan. At the end of the battle, Godzilla goes Thermonuclear, going into his Burning Godzilla state, evaporating King Ghidorah in an instant! At the end, all of the Titans bow down to Godzilla, with the King Of Monsters roaring in triumph! The end credits, as always, are a great way to end the film. With Godzilla, by Blue Oyster Cult, playing, it ends off the film with a great feeling for the future! Of course, me and my sister sang along to it, which I always love doing! And, at the end of the film, there is a rock wall painting showing two familiar monsters engaging in a battle, but that's for you all to find out who it is! Overall, despite my original review, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019) gets a 10/10!
Overall, the Monsterverse is a great franchise, with awesome characters, monsters, and emotion. With Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire coming out in a few months, I might have to update this review, so I'll see you all then! Also, I would like to know you all's opinions on the Monsterverse!
