GODZILLA: King of the Monsters is hitting cinemas and critics have already declared this as one of the best installments in the franchise.
If you’re wondering whether to catch the latest flick, here’s all you need to know.
What’s the UK release date for Godzilla: King of the Monsters?
The film has hit UK cinemas TODAY (May 31, 2019).
Godzilla will also be screened in 3d 4DX.
The movie runs for 2hours 12minutes.
How have fans and critics reacted to Godzilla: King of the Monsters?
IGN’s Terri Schwartz was one of the first writers to review the film, stressing how the movie “promises a showdown between Godzilla and King Ghidorah, and it absolutely delivers over and over again”.
Terri later tweeted that she was fortunate enough to catch an early screening of the film in Tokyo, and it goes without saying that the latest installment appears to be the best one in the series.
Schwartz continued: “As someone who is not by any means a Godzilla[…] if you’re looking for some Kaiju-on-Kaiju action, you won’t be disappointed.
“Though there are humans in the story to help move the plot along, they are rightly there to support the greater conflict at play”.
Collider’s editor-in-chief Steven Weintraub seemed delighted to report positive feedback on the film after having famously trashed 2014’s Godzilla.
Steven took to Twitter, sharing: “Had real issues with godzilla. The movie was called Godzilla but he was barely in it. Thankfully Mike Dougherty’s Godzilla King of the Monsters is awesome.
“It’s everything I wanted last movie to b but wasn’t. If u want to see Godzilla fighting other monsters u will b happy”.
He further added that fans will definitely appreciate the amount of work that went behind the graphics, stressing that the movie has a solid storyline with superb visual effects.
“Also the VFX in Godzilla are insane. I’m so impressed with what Mike Dougherty did with the material and monster battles and can’t wait to see it again.
If you weren’t looking forward to the new GodzillaMovie it’s time to buy tickets.
Dan Casey, who is the creative director at Nerdist, continued with the Twitter reviews, insisting that he hadn’t had this much fun watching an action movie in the cinema.
Not only that, but Dan also thinks that the newest Godzilla film is one of the best flicks in the Monsterverse line-up of movies. It’s simply that great.
He writes: “Godzilla: King of the Monsters rules so goddamn hard. Easily the most fun I’ve had in theaters all year and the best Monsterverse entry yet.
“The scale is mind-boggling & every action scene could be your new desktop wallpaper. See it on the biggest screen possible. ~GodzillaMovie”.
Who’s in the cast of Godzilla: King of the Monsters?
Kyle Chandler
Kyle Chandler joins the franchise playing the role of Mark Russell.
Not only is the Hollywood star appearing in this movie, but he will also be reprising the character for the next installment titled Godzilla vs. Kong next year.
Kyle is also known for starring in movies such as Argo, Super 8 and 2016’s award-winning Manchester by the Sea.
Vera Farmiga
Vera Farmiga is best recognised for playing Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring series, but now she’ll take on the role of Dr. Emma Russell.
Aside from that, Vera has also starred in movies such as Orphan, The Nun, The Front Runner, and Boundaries.
Millie Bobby Brown
Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn’t the first time that Millie Bobby Brown has starred in a blockbuster film.
The actress takes on Madison Russell, who she will reprise for the follow-up flick next year, but where else do you recognise her from?
Perhaps from the ever-so-popular Netflix show Stranger Things.
Ken Watanabe
Ken has been part of the franchise since 2014, when he starred in the reboot that nobody seemed to like.
But it seems like Ken has redeemed himself with his addition as Dr. Ishira Serizawa in the latest motion picture.
