Story: The new story follows the heroic efforts of the cryptozoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient superspecies, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Likes: Right you're gonna hear about of mixed review about this special from a lot of critics and People opinions, yes some I agree with when it comes to the character, but when you go to watch a Godzilla film the one thing you come for is the monster on monster fights.

God damn these fights were epic!, unlike the first film where you get a fight scene with Godzilla the camera would cut away to the human side, here this is all about the monsters which give this film the entertainment side.

From Rodan to Mothra, to the appearance of Gamera and the Ape mammoth, finally the main villain kaiju King Ghidorah who I'm happy they got the origins of right in this film, especial exploring a deep history and awesome visual history of Godzilla himself with a Massive surprise in the film that will leave you speechless.

Godzilla history has never really been explored in any film until know, I loved it showing that Godzilla is a hell of a lot older than we thought. With the Epic visual cinema choreography making this epic fight battles it's just what any Godzilla fans have been waiting for, The Epic rivalry between Ghidorah and Godzilla just made there epic battle together worth it to watch this film alone.

From Observation, Godzilla is a hell of a lot bigger than he was in 2014, which im glad this film tie in the events of the Previous film but it also showed that Godzilla is the Guardian of humanity and the balance between good and evil.

Godzilla design still has epic as it was in 2014, with that intimidating pitbull style lizard face, Godzilla in this film shows just how much of a powerhouse he truly is, especially with the other as well.

 Rodan being called the fire demon bird true show just how devastating he can be, to the beautiful style of Motha giving her a beautiful array of lights the design and artwork that went into this film is one of the best ive ever seen, Such an epic films

Dislikes: Here were I agree with some critics, the human side in this film did feel a little weak, which I understand because in the first film they focus too much on the humans, not on the fights, here they kind of done the Opposite but kind of didn't flesh out the character all too well.

Because when it came to a few character death you kind of feel your self not really caring too much in emotional moments, this I feel is because the writing for the character is a little weak, it not bad but I feel there could've been written better, especial when you have epic battle like this in the film. so this could be a hit or break the film for you.

Overall: Epic fights scene, the monster on monster fights, Awesome visual effects, Amazing back history to Godzilla that a surprise in the film

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9.3 out of 10 for the story and Epic fights
