A terrible visual feast

From the point of view of the monsters, they were awakened one after another, fed indiscriminately, and used maliciously. In the end, individual powerhouses were arranged to perish in cannibalism. I don't know how to live, and I don't know where to die. It can be said to be quite innocent and aggrieved. From the perspective of human beings, there is a neurotic madman who is similar to the human cleansing plan, even more than Thanos. In vain trying to establish himself as the height of the creator, he regards the lives of others as a must, but he shows his love for his daughter and family everywhere. The family is abnormal, nervous, and the husband and wife have conflicts between public and private. There are too many words and things to do, and you can die and you can't die, and at the end, there is a sensational farewell of "I LOVE YOU", which is really disgusting. I can't wait to put a nuclear bomb in her mouth. Aside from the role of people, monsters fighting and scratching are actually no different from Transformers, King Kong gorillas, Pacific Rim and the like. Accompanied by a round of howling of the behemoths, saliva splattered and fluttered, and all kinds of lights flashed to make you dazzled. There is also an interracial love of life and death, I don't know how to describe it. Now there is a trend in all kinds of monster alien films, to be peaceful, to stay at home with human beings, to love and kill each other, the theme is correct, but it is very boring to watch too much. The Japanese regard Godzilla as a patron saint even more, and Professor Serizawa's sentence "さらば, Youよ" (farewell, friend) adds a bit of tragicness. Pure evil is becoming less and less, and the horror legends of the past are either allegiance or submission, hand in hand with good friends. I still want to see Godzilla, a monster that is inexorable with humans, cruel, arrogant, cold-blooded and ruthless. Even if you are outnumbered, you will drown your grandson's strength with the last mouthful of phlegm. Zhang Ziyi's role is very weak, and is a dispensable role. The role is to induce other characters to speak and complain. Asian faces each have a line in their own native language, and that's about it. Unsurprisingly, the easter egg informed the series that there will be a third episode. I'm not looking forward to it, just watch the fun.

    The material is really sufficient, very hardcore action scenes, blending the color of the comics, and the sound effects and atmosphere rendering are also very strong, which is enjoyable for those who have a monster complex. However, the human part is written like a piece of shit. In order to make up for two hours, some illogical dramas are bluntly placed. How can you think that all this happened because of a virgin white lotus.

    C / The techniques in all aspects are not as good as the first part, this unbelievable (shaking M) praise is entirely from the type interest of half a monster fan. On the one hand, it weakens the mystery of the giant beast and runs counter to the first (even if there are several similar perspectives), and on the other hand, it magnifies the fetish (peeping) of the first movie hundreds of times. No matter how much human beings play, they only exist as a kind of stupid pilgrimage or sacrificial ritual; any pretended serious nature ethics or cultural blending is only a whitewash for this endless desire for surrender and destruction. So the final question instead became, as an audience, how am I supposed to deal with this almost morbid but real pleasure...?

Godzilla: King of the Monsters quotes

  • Mark Russell: [almost whispering] Open the shields.

    Dr. Rick Stanton: [loudly] Oh yeah, sure, let's bring him in for a beer! You outta your goddamn mind?

    Mark Russell: [almost whispering] Let him know we're not a threat. Open the shields.

    [pause]

    Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: [to Stanton] Do it.

  • Dr. Emma Russell: Just like how a forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs that these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Las Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation.
