Godzilla 2 and it's monsters confirmed

[Leo656]

Holy sh*t.

Ghidorah? :o

Can I pay for this now? I wanna pay for it now.

[MrTMNT2012]

King Ghidorah, Mothra AND Rodan?!

SOLD! :D

[mexichrist83]

Now I'm even more excited about the sequel. The 2014 movie was pretty underwhelming except for any time Godzilla was on screen, of course. Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah?! Why in the hell weren't they in the 2014 movie? Even if the human story was lame at least we could have had updated versions of Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah to enjoy instead of those generic Muto monsters. Bring on the sequel!

[turtlefanforever]

Didn't really like the first film, but it isn't stopping me from being completely excited about this one. Plus, more monsters means More Godzilla screen time. At least it should anyway.

[Peanut]

I still love how people are complaining about Godzilla screen time from the last movie. It's as if they've never watched a Godzilla movie before.

[TigerClaw]

I enjoyed the 1st film, I'm pretty sure the 2nd one will have more Godzilla and Monsters this time.

But I wonder how they are gonna portray Mothra and Rodan, They are often Godzilla's allies when fighting other monsters, And no doubt that King Ghidorah will be the protagonist of the sequel.

So I can see a team up of Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan battling King Ghidorah in the sequel's climax.

[oldmanwinters]

I still love how people are complaining about Godzilla screen time from the last movie. It's as if they've never watched a Godzilla movie before.

Indeed. Even in some of his better classic films, he's probably only on screen for about half the runtime.

[sdp]

Seems too early to do this but cool news. I thought the first movie was pretty good, not amazing but it's not like other Godzilla movies are amazing cinema either, the whole concept is cheesy outside of maybe the original.

[DioLeo451]

Sweet:D can't wait

[Leolead]

Guys you have no idea what this means to me! i'm a HUGE big G fan HUGE!! this..... i just.. a Legendary Mothra!?! Rodan!?! King Ghidorah!!! :D i can't believe it! literally can't believe it! :D

i loved the first movie, and i thought Legendary only had the rights to Godzilla? but i guess they bought some more monsters from Toho!

now since we're getting a trilogy, i'd really like to see Gigan or King Caeser, in G3 :D :D but even that's asking too much! Thank you Legendary!!!
one question needs to be answered, will Mothra have the Twins?

[Godzilla]

I enjoyed the 1st film, I'm pretty sure the 2nd one will have more Godzilla and Monsters this time.

But I wonder how they are gonna portray Mothra and Rodan, They are often Godzilla's allies when fighting other monsters, And no doubt that King Ghidorah will be the protagonist of the sequel.

I'm pretty sure Rodan and Godzilla will be adversarial towards one another, if only for the first portion of the film, much like how they were when they first encountered one another in Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster, where yeah, Godzilla, Rodan, Ghidorah, and Mothra (in larva form) appeared for the 1st time in one movie.

So I can see a team up of Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan battling King Ghidorah in the sequel's climax.

Right. If Ghidorah is anything like it's Showa interpretation, which was that of a marauding space dragon that decimated planets, I don't see any of said Kaiju being patient with Ghidorah's shenanigans for very long.

Best description of the footage shown at the SDCC that I've found:

http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/36887

[psychturtle]

I'm sorry but I really HATE Mothra!!!! Why does that piece of s*** have to be in the movie? Ghidora will be amazing. Rodan will be cool too

[Leo656]

I'm curious how they're gonna get Ghidorah over in this. First movie was fairly grounded and realistic, and Ghidorah, conceptually, is far more fantastical than the MUTOs. I'm genuinely intrigued to see what they come up with.

That's a hell of a lot of monsters all of a sudden, though. Either they're all from space, or there's gonna be some creative storytelling going on to explain how those things could have existed here for however long without anyone knowing. It's gonna be interesting to see where they go with it.

Godzilla 2 Pushed Back To 2019, Godzilla vs Kong Set For 2020 (http://411mania.com/movies/godzilla-2-pushed-back-to-2019-godzilla-vs-kong-set-for-2020/)

[Andrew NDB]

So weird. 5 years to make Godzilla 2? Weird.

[sdp]

Not excited about this at all anymore, last one was very forgettable now that I think about it and the mosnter-mash their doing in their second movie doesn't inspire confidence not to mention that King Kong vs Godzilla only made sense in the Showa era.

But it's fine, the superior sounding Shin Godzilla movie comes out this summer with a fresh look.

[drgon78]

I enjoyed Pacific Rim more then Godzilla and I am still mad that they stopped a sequel for Pacific Rim just to get a Godzilla vs King Kong movie.

Completely disinterested in both monsters, but now I have reason to post this gif:

I'm a little more excited for the American Godzilla movies after watching Shin Godzilla which at first it actually made me hate the 2014 film but now that Shin/Resurgence gave me the Godzilla movie I wanted I'm fine with the Legendary one doing crazy sh-t that makes no sense like Kong and an american King Ghidorah.

I'm still pissed to what they did to Skull Island however, this was supposed to be a prequel to the awesome Jackson movie and deal with the island mainly with Kong taking a very small role and exploring that island would've been awesome but for the sake of the crossover it's not Skull Island in name only as it was changed to have Kong be the focus of the film and made him to be gigantic so he would fit in the cinematic universe. The movie doesn't even look that bad but it could've been a dream movie for me and now it'll be a lot more generic, and god does Samuel L Jackson have to be in everything?

[drgon78]

Kong: Skull Island is not a prequel to Peter Jackson's King Kong, though it is a prequel to the current "giant monsterverse".

[sdp]

It was going to be a prequel to Jackson's Kong until the "monsterverse" plans changed the movie at the last minute.

[Andrew NDB]

It was going to be a prequel to Jackson's Kong

I'd never heard that until today.

[sdp]

Can't find much online anymore since most links are about the current version Kong:Skull Island but mostly from memory originally Universal Picture would be distributing and it was only going to be called Skull Island and it would take place years before the Kong story we all know and he would've barely appeared as it was going to be more of a "explore the island" story. Jackson suggested the director and this was going to be released in 2016 even Universal Studios updated the Kong ride to have Jackson's Kong and we even got a Teaser before Jurassic World got a teaser but then the whole WB wants a crossover and Legendary changed things up to please WB and left Universal out in the cold. It would've been an awesome movie, this one looks ok but nowhere near the potential and all for a crossover "cinematic universe" copycat..

[Andrew NDB]

Sounds dreadfully boring. I almost fell asleep during all the "explore the island" stuff in Jackson's King Kong... I can't fathom another trip to just that.

Here's the plot synopsis
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members 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.

[Cure]

Mothra is usually like, a "good" monster, right? Hopefully that's the case with this joint, too.

[TigerClaw]

I bet the movie will have Godzilla fighting Rodan and Mothra, but then all 3 team up to fight King Ghidorah in the 3rd act.

[Andrew NDB]

My only thing is... after this movie comes out, how are they going to top this? King Kong vs. Godzilla even seems like a step down.

[ProphetofGanja]

Oh of course. But even though it's predictable it could still be good

[Allio]

My only thing is... after this movie comes out, how are they going to top this? King Kong vs. Godzilla even seems like a step down.

obviously by having Kong and Godzilla team up to fight destroyah and have Gamera save them

[sdp]

My only thing is... after this movie comes out, how are they going to top this? King Kong vs. Godzilla even seems like a step down.

I may be remembering but I think Legendary only has the rights of Godzilla for 3 movies and the King Kong VS Godzilla counts as the "third" movie so unless they make another deal that will be the final one in the "monsterverse" at leas that has Godzilla in it, I'm sure they'll continue with other monsters if there are any.

And while it might be more epic to have King Ghidorah, to most the movie will just be some random monsters and a giant butterfly. King Kong is a bigger name even if he doesn't feel as "epic".

A bit of a spoiler but apparently Godzilla is going to be destroying historic downtown Mexico City in the new movie!

They will be filming next week and I'm going to see if I can see anything cool but I guess it'll be difficult since all the streets will be closed, It'd be awesome to be an extra but I don't know how any of that works and I'm guessing all of that has been taken care of months in advance, I wish I had known about it.

here is the map of the closed streets:

Just watched Kong: Skull Island so I'm excited about all things MonsterVerse right now

We're just over a year away from this film's release so I hope we at least get a poster some time soon, maybe this summer

I know Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah are confirmed for this film but I wonder if we'll see any other kaiju. I don't want Kong and Mothra to be the only non-reptilian monsters in the films, they could benefit from using kaijus with more varied appearances

[Allio]

For a future Godzilla film how about a Godzilla Battle Royale?

After the incident in Godzilla vs King it is decided that they can’t keep depending on chance that Godzilla can win his fights

So it is decided to create their own Godzilla

Three teams are tasked to create their own creatures in the case one creature can’t be controlled.

Using the data collected as well as the Godzilla corpses from the first movie three monsters are created


The military base team create the ultimate weapon: Mecha Godzilla
A team that is studying monsters like ghidorah/Mothra has one corpse to clone: SpaceGodzilla
A nature/mutation team uses the second corpse: Biollante


The idea of the three teams was in case something went wrong with one monster they could use the other two to destroy it-

-they never expected all three monsters to go out of control. Then it becomes a Mexican standoff between the four creatures.

The end Mecha is destroyed but is salvageable (becomes kitty later) SpaceGodzilla is destroyed and Biollante is nothing but a corpse.

The twist is that the Godzilla used for Biollante was pregnant and in cloning her reveals they accidentally cloned her pregnant as well.

Inside Biollante is a seed/egg. And inside is the clone mutated Godzilla.

That seed in her stomach is now the embodiment of mankind’s sin.

This is your American “Shin Godzilla”

And this is what leads into the next big Monsterverse event: Destroy All Monsters

[drgon78]

I can't wait to see Mothra, Rodan, and King G on the big screen.

Can't say I've watched them all, but most of the time humans were mostly just there and monsters were front and center.

[Allio]

Monsters are as forefront as these films are

There is actually a few Godzilla films that has less monster focus than this one.

[sdp]

You can't have a monster movie with just monsters destroying crap as fun as that may sound, it doesn't work. The trailer looks hokey but that's pretty much the only route i wanted them to take this on, Toho already beat Godzilla 2014 with Shin Godzilla in a serious take on the franchise, so might as well go all out and shoe horn their dumb monster universe.

[TigerClaw]

That epic music you hear in the Trailer. Is an orchestral version of Clair De Lune. You can listen to it here

[Andrew NDB]

Eh... doesn't seem too bad from my eyes. Though I'd still say they're pulling a "Batman V Superman," in that right out of the gate they're doing King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, with a Godzilla vs. King Kong immediately next (i.e., as with Batman V Superman it was "Death of Superman" and "The Dark Knight Returns" all in one, pretty firmly endgame stuff)... where do you go from here? Mechagodzilla in Godzilla 3? That's going to seem very small compared to what they've already done.

[Allio]

well according to a supposed leak (which matches well with the trailer we have)

Destroyah appears in the post-credit scene.

and as for a potential Godzilla 3, I still say it should be a Godzilla battle Royale, featuring: Godzilla, MechaGodzilla, Biollante, and Space Godzilla.

[sdp]

Is it really end game though? Godzilla fought King Kong in the third movie originally and Kong was only his second giant monster fight. King Ghidorah usually appears half way through the series, he's more of a recurring villain than the ultimate bad. In fact Mecha Godzilla usually appears after Ghidorah. This isn't the Destroy All Monsters/Final Wars cast and more of a first appearance of Ghidorah movie so it falls in line. Gigan/Destroyah were more of the big bad Godzilla ever faced in those respective series.

I mean I don't see many people getting excited for Godzilla vs Mothra or Barugan or a solo Rodan film. I don't think Godzilla can have that type of an audience even in the post-mainstream geek culture world. Especially when Japan outdid the US with their own serious Godzilla film with Shin Gojira.

Legendary also only has the license until 2020, of course that could be renegotiated, especially if the monsterverse is a success. But Toho is very protective of Godzilla, they didn't sell/let Legendary use other Kaiju until 2014 turned out. Toho is also jealous and petty, they made Godzilla 2000 and Shin Godzilla as responses to the Hollywood films, hell they made Shin Godzilla 10 meters taller than 2014 just so THEY would have the biggest Godzilla and not Hollywood who had made the biggest Godzilla yet.

The point is the movies have to be very successful for it to continue since it's only a license and they would need to throw Toho money for them to not care. They've gone on record that because of the contract, Toho can't release a live action Godzilla movie the same year that Legendary is releases one which is why the Shin Godzilla sequel was on hold and instead they released the anime movies. They also mentioned recently Shin Godzilla 2 wasn't happening and instead they wanted to make their own Cinematic Universe a la Marvel/Showa years to join in on the band wagon and they might not be able to if Hollywood is releasing stinkers. So I guess it all depends on how Godzilla 2 and VsKong do.

I don't know if we'll see MechaGodzilla. Since that appeared in Ready Player One already.

I think the movie will have Godzilla teaming up with Mothra and Rodan against King Ghidora at the end.

Both Mothra and Rodan originally started out as Adversaries. But they later joined forces with Godzilla against the other monsters.

Plus with Mothra. There are supposed to be the Twins. So I wonder if the movie will involve the Twins. Unless the movie shows Millie Bobby Brown having some connections with her.

[Andrew NDB]

Aren't both Mothra and Rodan in this movie?

Nobody cares about Shin Godzilla. Not even Japan. It hit and it went away and it won't be revisited.

[Wildcat]

Trailer looks awesome. Please just focus on the monsters in the second half, third act, whatever you wanna call it. Do NOT make them background.

[AquaParade]

Typically I want to be as terrified as possible when watching a Godzilla movie.

This trailer and the score the accompanied it made me realize a Godzilla movie can be many things. It really had that magical, adventurous feel to it. I'm definitely interested in seeing this. Not sure if I' in the minority but I love both the 2014 Godzilla and the most recent "Shin Godzilla" even more.

That review couldn't be more wrong, but I guess you prefer the borefest that was 2014?

Yeah Mothra and Rodan are in this movie alongside Ghidorah just like in Ghidorah's debut film. But unlike japan that had Godzilla v Mothra or solo Mothra Rodan films, that would never fly in the US. The only reason those monsters are relevant is because the movie is called Godzilla. That's my point, a "Monster" cinematic universe is not going to fly with those names alone, you'll need something flashy like Ghidorah, Space Godzilla etc to get people to say "oh I gotta watch this".

Shin Godzilla is loved in Japan, it certainly has plenty of merchandise overthere which 2014 Godzilla doesn't, you can't compare the earnings of a Hollywood movie that has a huge marketing muscle in the biggest market in the world with one made specifically for one small market and only getting a limited release in other places (and where the biggest market is too stubborn to ever give a subtitled movie a chance).

[drgon78]

I wonder if they have the rights to any other Toho monsters for future movies.

I wonder if the King Kong vs Godzilla one will have them team up against another monster(s).

I hope this movie and the Kong vs one does really well so we can get more giant monster movies.

[TigerClaw]

I wonder how they will explain King Ghidora's origin. He's actually an alien. In the first movie he appeared in. a Meteorite falls to Earth and out came King Ghidora.

The trailer shows King Ghidora frozen in ice. So what if the meteorite that fell to earth. Was the one that killed the Dinosaurs. And it was him?

I watched the Godzilla: King of the Monsters SDCC 2018 Panel. And one of the characters they said. Is someone whose trying to preserve these monsters. and find a way they can co-exist.

You can watch the Panel here.

Current rumor is that Charles Dance's unnamed character is actually an older version of the same character played by Hiddleston in Kong: Skull Island.

[drgon78]

That would be interesting if it is true.

[TigerClaw]

Current rumor is that Charles Dance's unnamed character is actually an older version of the same character played by Hiddleston in Kong: Skull Island.
If that is true. Then maybe when he says "Long live the king" was referring to King Kong?"

I'm sure this movie will have some post credit scene setting up Kong for the Godzilla vs Kong movie.

However Charles Dance as an older version of Tom Hiddleston's character? He doesnt even look like him as an older man. They could just get him wearing makeup to make him look older.

[drgon78]

I was assuming that long live the king is a reference to King Ghidorah.

[Andrew NDB]

They directly said at Comic Con that someone from Kong: Skull Island would be in Godzilla 2.

There's not many people it could be. And Charles Dance is the only one in the cast who is age appropriate to play an older character from Kong... that is also unnamed in IMDB/elsewhere.

The think I loved most about the trailer was the use of music and sense of awe. I can never get enough of Godzilla. Shin Godzilla may be my favorite one so far, but I also enjoyed prequel to this film.

I just hope that when the world ends for real, it's thanks to King Ghidora. :lol:

You just can't write a better ending. Solar flares? Eh. Giant asteroid? Ehhh.
Nuclear war? Ehhhhh. Climate change and flash floods? I donno, maaaaaaan....

I didn't see anything wrong with it. I mean, I hear the criticism about "not enough monster mayhem", but I don't agree with it. Slow burn/delayed gratification is best.

A case could be made that this flick is being completely over-reactionary, throwing the whole house in there as they are, but I understand it. Plus, far be it from me to complain about an abundance of King Ghidorah.

The new theme is a horrible remake of the original, what were they thinking?

2014 actually had a great all original theme already, why change it up for something unoriginal and inferior?

Yeah, love the new versions of the Godzilla theme and Mothra theme. I can't wait for this one.

[ProphetofGanja]

Saw this over the weekend, loved it. Definitely my favorite new school Godzilla flick, possibly my favorite kaiju flick ever

[Andrew NDB]

Movie is... ehh... so so. The human, stuff, though, is appallingly BAD. And I liked the human stuff in the first one, even if there was disproportionately too much of it vs. the monster stuff.

Also... daamn. It had a bigger budget than Godzilla (2014) AND Skull Island and still had a weaker opening than either movie. Lucky for fans that they already wrapped filming on Kong vs. Godzilla or that would be toast for sure.

Granted it didn't have as big an opening as hoped, but everyone who was in the theater when I saw it Thursday afternoon (first showing!) seemed to love it. The monster battles were INCREDIBLE, there was MORE than enough monster mayhem to go around, and I actually enjoyed most of the human parts. My only real "complaint" was- not enough Mothra. There was such a big buildup about her, and then- barely there. Although, what we DID see of her was GORGEOUS. Amazing effects, and Ghidorah was just- WOW. Same for Rodan. And they definitely teased Kong. I just want to know what some of the othees shown were. A few were recognizable, but....

[ProphetofGanja]

I for one loved the film. Yeah most of the human element fell pretty flat but that’s not what I’m interested in when I sit down for a kaiju flick so it was no big loss to me.

After seeing this over the weekend I rewatched Kong: Skull Island on Sunday and the 2014 Godzilla yesterday. Skull Island is still pretty dang great, both as a kaiju flick and just as a movie in general, but I kept literally falling asleep during Godzilla. Like I get that they were trying to build tension, but having pretty much the whole first half of the film go by without giving us more than the merest of glimpses of Godzilla is definitely less than ideal. The MUTOs, unfortunately, are also just pretty boring, both design wise and story wise. Not a particularly remarkable film. But hey, it kicked off this whole MonsterVerse thing so I’m thankful for that.

Honestly I was nearly ready to sit down and watch King of the Monsters again right after finishing it, that’s how much I liked it. Maybe it’s because I didn’t like Avengers: Endgame as much as I’d hoped I would (I think the reviews for that film will reflect more dissatisfaction over time. It’s good but not great) and the Game of Thrones series finale was such a letdown. I’m super pumped for Godzilla vs. Kong now and am very curious to see what else they reveal about Atlantis and the Hollow Earth.

Amazing effects, and Ghidorah was just- WOW. Same for Rodan. And they definitely teased Kong. I just want to know what some of the others shown were. A few were recognizable, but....

They definitely took inspiration from Toho for some of the other kaijus featured in the film but all the rest of the ones appearing in this film were original creations, as the studio didn’t want to spend the money to both get the rights to use additional named kaiju AND to realize them with digital effects.

I know the mammoth/ape-like one is called Behemoth, and the spider/crab thing is Scylla.

Just watched this today- absolutely loved it. Critics are, as usual, dead wrong. That end credits song might be the hypest sh*t of all time. I cannot wait for Godzilla vs Kong.

[drgon78]

Yeah, I hope Godzilla vs Kong makes a lot of money to make of up for this one under performing. I really, really want this franchise to continue.

[Andrew NDB]

I have no idea where they'd even go after this (like, other than "into pure, unadulterated schlock"... like building Mecha Ghidorah or something).

[snake]

Monster-apocolypse world with hollow earth lore is a pretty cool setting for these movies.

Hell yeah, brother

*Also, Mecha-Ghidorah was my first thought, too, but I wonder if they're actually building towards Destoroyah/Destroyah??? Rehashing King Ghidorah as a cyborg could be cool but why not just give us a whole new kaiju? Plus, wasn't that the Bad Guy's whole deal in the movie, trading in kaiju, *sorry* "titan" DNA?

They need to go full schlok and play it 100% straight.

It's either Mecha Ghidorah or a cloned Ghidorah, I think. Or they try to "perfect" Ghidorah's DNA and end up with something else entirely. Either way, guaranteed to be a thing that Kong and Godzilla stop fighting each other over to unite against.

Didn't they blow that up in this movie?

[Fanoftheweek]

Can't be Ghidorah. Allen has the head and he's not in GvK. The credits speak of a metal giant being built on Skull Island by Monarch though. Considering Kong plays a big part of the next film, I think that'll definitely come into play. I personally believe it's Mechagodzilla. That's what one of the biggest leakers of this movie is saying too.

[AquaParade]

I was really looking forward to this but critics made it sound so bad! I'm waiting on a rental, but if I enjoy it, I'll regret having not seen it on the big screen.

I'm well aware that you can't always depend on the critics, but it can be somewhat helpful to take a look. I can't deny the fact that critics warned me away from Suicide Squad before I dragged two friends to it and felt the urge to leave or light myself on fire thirty minutes in.

Oh, it did? Then that cinches it. We'll get Mecha-something in Godzilla vs. Kong, that they have to team up against in the end.

Yeah, they blew up the "Temple of Godzilla" or whatever tf that was but if they go full-on Journey to the Center of the Earth and explore the Hollow Earth I'm sure they could work in more references/allusions to whatever lost civilization that was. Or maybe they travel inside the earth and discover that the lost civilization is now found?

Alan Jonah not being in Godzilla vs. Kong is inconsequential. He was stated to deal in kaiju DNA, so he could have just sold King Ghidorah's head to the highest bidder by the time the events of the next movie unfold. Him not being in the movie is no biggie, really.

I do think we'll get some sort of mecha-kaiju in the next movie though, or maybe a cyborg one.

As with all things, your mileage from this particular movie will vary based on your interests. I, personally, loved it, but I went in knowing what to expect and what not to expect. The critics rating this movie? Not so much, it seems.

(and holy sh!t, yeah, Suicide Squad blowed so hard :lol: )

Oh, it did? Then that cinches it. We'll get Mecha-something in Godzilla vs. Kong, that they have to team up against in the end.

Yeah, GvK will definitely pull a Batman v. Superman and pit them against each other, hash out their misunderstanding some how, and then team-up to kick something else's ass and then part ways with some level of mutual respect for each other.

[The Deadman]

Watched KOTM last night and almost had the feeling we were gonna have another Avengers moment on our hands where Mothra played the part of Captain Marvel and only showed up for a few seconds, but I wasn't disappointed. The fight scenes and destruction were amazing.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Watched it last night. HELL of a badass movie.

Sometimes a man just needs to watch giant reptiles smashing the crap out of each other and the entire planet.

[Andrew NDB]

It didn't kill my interest in the series... but it definitely killed my faith in their ability to do convincing human stuff anymore.

"Who even cares about the human stuff??" you might say. Well, not me. But they do, apparently... they fill the movie up with it. And it's bad, this time around. Really bad.

I can't argue with that.

I really enjoyed Millie Bobbie Brown, but the human stuff was just agonizing. Get back to the monsters and destruction. I really don't care about Andrew (the kid, not Andrew NDB) or why his dad become an absent alcoholic or how mommy snapped and went insane and tried to murder the world with an eco-terrorist.

I came for the three-headed dragon fighting a giant lizard that breathes blue atomic fire. Save the human drama for Oscar bait.

[drgon78]

I like Millie Bobbie Brown's character but didn't care much for the parents, I liked the other Monarch characters more then the last two movies though.

Was looking back at this thread to see where my head was at after seeing it. I guess all I really said was this:

I liked King of the Monsters. I mean... these movies are basically staying very true to the old films but with maybe... you know... 2 degrees more of deeper plot involving the humans. And so while not perfect, it's the old movies but better in many ways.
