Godzilla II - King of the Monsters

...you’re here to see giant monsters knock the stuffing out of each other while laying waste to mankind’s manifold metropolises. In this regard, 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' does not disappoint.

...purely at the level of craft, this is a frequently astounding movie—a succession of miracles and cursed disasters, unfurled onscreen with dazzling showmanship and over-scaled grace notes...

...director Mike Dougherty is clearly a Godzilla fanboy, reintroducing the new creatures with infectious relish.

...leve(r) på sine helt ekstremt flotte – til tider nærmest poetiske – special effects, der er oppe i en liga, hvor de i sig selv gør, at filmen er værd at anbefale.

...the monsters! They include the classic Godzilla players Mothra, Rodan and the nasty King Ghidorah, all realized with designs that call back to their Toho origins while also looking fresh and, basically, fantastic.

Förskräckligt snyggt förpackad och med bombastiska scener som bäst avnjuts i storformat visar Dougherty att ”size does matter”.
