When Godzilla X Kong came out this year I was excited because I love bad monster movies. The only Godzilla movie I have ever seen is Godzilla Minus One which is absolutely not a monster movie but perhaps one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. So I was ready for some dumb monster shit. This is your friendly reminder that I judge movies for what they are, I don’t expect every movie to be a cinematic masterpiece. I am expecting very little plot but some cool monster fights, if I get that then the movie will get a pretty high rating. It’s called managing expectations, and it’s something a lot of you need to get better at.

It was certainly a movie, I think they could have streamlined the story a little more. It was a little chaotic and overcrowded and for that reason I am taking off a few points. Even as far as fun, pop-corn flick monster movies go it was a little disappointing. I give it a 5.5/10 there is no rewatchability factor. The monster fights were cool, they were just repetitive and there were simply too many monsters. I would also love it if monster movies just stopped trying to have a plot because the forced, shallow plot they try to shoehorn in is so much worse than no plot at all.
