Godzilla: King of the Monsters (12A)

Science Fiction, Fantasy, Adventure

US action fantasy in which eco-terrorists release ancient monsters who battle for supremacy.


The critical consensus

Globe-trotting but not adventurous, action-packed but not remotely exciting, utterly overstuffed and completely paper-thin. Nuke it from orbit.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Ben Travis, Empire Online, 28/05/2019

Far too much is going on in this cacophonous monster movie from director Michael Dougherty.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 28/05/2019

A clunky sequel has rare moments of visual splendour but they can’t disguise a laughable script with a ramshackle narrative.

**(*)(*)(*)Benjamin Lee, The Guardian, 28/05/2019

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters improves on its predecessor in terms of the kaiju carnage, but still can’t quite make you care about the humans underfoot.

***(*)(*)Rob James, Total Film, 30/05/2019

Michael Dougherty takes the reins of a reverent and action-packed addition to the MonsterVerse.

***(*)(*)Kevin Harley, The List, 28/05/2019

Full of sound and fury, signifying… sequels.

***(*)(*)Anton Bitel, Little White Lies, 29/05/2019

The latest in the 65-year-old creature-feature franchise doesn’t do much to uphold the reptile’s reputation.
