Apparently, Legendary is attempting to get a Pacific Rim and Monsterverse crossover with Guillermo Del Toro directing.

Only because of the extremely cool ending do I give this a 7/10. The side story that really never added much with Bobby Brown and the kid from Deadpool 2 (FireFist), made all their parts really drag. Easily the weakest of this series of movies thus far. |

Pacific Rim was far better than any of the Godzilla and Kong movies. The Legendary films went the Transformers route and are just dumb beyond belief. The only way to rationalize them is that they’re for the same audience that loved the originals from Toho — kids — and on that level they work I guess but you can make a Godzilla movie that isn’t an exercise in seeing how many different ways buildings can be destroyed. Remaking the original 1954 Godzilla would be amazing but based on the audience reviews for GvK it seems like most are happy with monsters running amok in a movie with zero character development, completely implausible storylines, and whole bunch of stupid on top.

I thought the little deaf girl did a good job though. Her scenes with Kong were the heart of the movie. I think it's the movie I enjoyed most of the 4. It was the most fun but not the best film... |

Agree with this. The RLM review pretty much nailed it as being stupid and staying out of the way whenever the monsters fight.

That girl from stranger things was terrible in this movie. I hated everytime she was on the screen...added nothing to the storyline lol.
Plot was cartoonish but it was just a fun movie. |

Truth. She and her two friends were there to provide exposition only. In an incredibly annoying pointless manner. You could have cut out 20+ minutes of their scenes with two lines of dialog by the bad guy: "Godzilla is homing in on X" and "Z uses psionics." On the positive side the Mexican chick was hot. The movie could have used a lot more of her and a lot less of the deaf Asian toddler staring in wonder. As cheesy as it is, I still found the fight scene in the original more entertaining than the ones in the new movie: Those old movies are just more fun.

Yeah. I love Stranger Things and she’s great in that but she may be a one trick pony as an actress. |
