Everyone knows who or what Godzilla is; movies about this classic monster have been around since the 1950s. Everyone also knows about his “side-kicks” like Rodan and Mothra. But I bet you didn’t know that these are all Titans who have been on earth protecting it for thousands of years. Unfortunately for us, Ghidrah, an extraterrestrial monster shows up and wakes the sleeping Titans (except Godzilla) and gets them to team together to destroy mankind and take back the Earth. With me so far? Vera Farmiga and Charles Dance are ecoterrorists who mean well (well, Charles Dance, perhaps channeling Tywin Lannister, doesn’t really mean well at all!), and contribute to the chaos. Bobbie Millie Brown (Stranger Things) and Kyle Chandler try to set things right by recruiting Godzilla to destroy Ghidrah, take his place as the King of Monsters, and save our planet. Most of this movie is shot in a pretty dark light, a very popular but infuriating, trend in movie making. I found the whole thing rather silly and do not look forward to any future iterations of the Godzilla story. Please let Godzilla Rest In Peace!
