Review of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) by Nonameforme — 09 Jun 2019

I expected monster fighting WWE match, or at least something with weight like the 1st Pacific Rim movie. However, I got neither. There's barely any 'Titan' on scene. The movie is also poorly edited. It jump from one camera view to another every 0.2 seconds like it's a Jason Borne movie. Also whose idea is to always shoot the film at night? Fire that person and exile him from Earth now. I can barely see anything and half of the time I wonder if there's some error to the projector. It's like paying to see black screen.

The director lied "Godzilla got double time on scene compare to the 2014 one" and should be hold accountable. Well you can argue he didn't lie, but imagine this. There's Titan fight scene that last 60 seconds. The 1st 5 seconds is overview shot that show who will fight who and one of them throw the first punch. Then the next 45 seconds the camera switch to some dudes running around the fight, with occasionally glimpse of either titans' foot or tail that randomly enter the camera at the background. Then for the last 10 seconds the camera zoom out and show the winner and the other run away or die. Yeah in previous movie it's 30 seconds of full fight and other 30 seconds of characters doing other thing. But this time it's 60 seconds of fight that we barely see anything because the camera is from character POW and we mostly see buildings or cloud or what with a glimpse of the fight behind them. The 45 seconds that focus on character didn't even move the plot forward like the (2014) one.
