Critics Review
Entertainment Weekly
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is not actually a good movie in our opinion. In fact, it’s pretty terrible with a loose script and story. Don’t fight with the messenger, Kaiju fans, it is what it is.
IGN
A fun giant monster action madness which all the kaiju fights fans and even normal viewers hope to see. The human characters have a chance to fight with all the battling beasts by some really cool tech and some great one-liners among the supporting casts. But, the film’s plot is too confusing, and not that smart with undeveloped characters.
The Warp
Yes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is ultimately the kind of a mindless matinee movie, but unlike the countless big, expensive action movies which fail at making their way into a viewer’s mind. But this monster movie knows exactly what to do, in the truest form of that world.
AV Club
Of course, the huge monsters should be the main attractions of a Godzilla movie. But until blockbuster films which goes with a weak story and narrative, attention should also be paid to the rest of the aspects as well.

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is, no exaggeration, the first time since the first AVENGERS I've felt like I was seeing something I've waited an entire life to see actually play out – this time to alarming specificity. It's unreasonably great#Godzilla #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters

I will say one thing I will say about #GodzillaKingoftheMonsters. The whole world will finally know why King Ghidorah is awesome. Screw Drogon and Daenerys’s other children, King Ghidorah is a true force to be reckoned with! #GodzillaKingoftheMonsters #GodzillaMovie #KingGhidorah pic.twitter.com/5lL2moCkfw

Gareth Edwards' #Godzilla is a quiet and severely misunderstood masterpiece, and one of the best monster movies ever produced. Every shot, every beat is backed up by a perfectly woven thread of humanity's uselessness in the face of primal nature.
