Godzilla: King of the Monsters [DVD] [2019]

When my brothers and sisters and I were young kids, we watched old Godzilla films every Saturday. It was so much fun. This film, which to me isn't quite as good as the original old films, is very reminiscent of them, and will please others who have good memories of them, like I do. (The plot is very different; it's only reminiscent in the monsters shown.) I wasn't too intrigued with the young actors in this movie, but they aren't all young, and I did love seeing the old monsters resurrected. Besides Godzilla, there's Monster Zero, Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, and more. It was so much fun watching them do battle, and they really tear up the scenery. Nuclear Godzilla was a great touch. The almost non-stop action in this movie is terrific. There are almost no slow parts, and one doesn't expect slow parts in an action film. It wasn't believable, of course, but neither is James Bond. This is escapist fare for those who love Godzilla. My Blu-Ray DVD worked perfectly. No trouble whatsoever. Overall, I can recommend this movie highly to those who love action films and especially Godzilla. Be sure to watch the ending credits, however. You get a nice little piece of information after they roll. Lots of fun, lots of action, and not much thought required.

Classic,if you have ever been a fan of old monster movies you should own this one

Got the movie in less then a week in perfect shape, the movie was epic.

Good Movie A lot More Than Expected Thanks 🙏🏾

I was quickly shopping for a bunch of DVDs for an up coming road trip and I accidently bought a dvd that can't be played in my area. I'm not sure why they are being sold in areas that cant view them. That seems super sketchy.

When I bought this I assumed it was a stock photo of the blu-ray case. When I got it I was shocked to find out, it was a UK blu-ray. Leaving me panicking because I had not a single clue what region code the UK is under as I was looking on it's case. Until a friend said "check the product page". Luckily I can still use the blu-ray as I can change the VLC player region to B/2. But that scared me and I should've cleaned my glasses more and read the page better. It's just the blu-ray but if anyone has a possible combo pack in the US that would be great.

Movie works as expected! I love it

I live in the United States and I don’t have a DVD player to play the movie on and it took forever to get here.

great film, really enjoyed it, kept me hooked

* The 4k upgrade certainly enhances the Special-Effect sequences, you'll notice the difference in picture quality if you have also seen the Blu-ray version of the movie. This the follow-up of the 2014 Godzilla movie, kinda following on some five years later (must admit found the 2014 film somewhat disappointing) The film starts with the closing moments of the titan battle on the streets of San Franciso when Godzilla reigned supreme, the battle witnessed by Dr Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler) and his wife Dr Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) Five years on, the couple now separated, Emma works for Monarch a Titan studying organisation, Mark now a former employee. Emma with her daughter Maddison ( Millie Bobby Brown) witness the birth of a larva dubbed Mortha at the research centre, which appears out of control initially, however, Emma manages to calm it down using a device she'd developed with ex-husband Mark. At this point, the centre is attacked by eco-terrorists led by Alan Jonah (Charles Dance) who kill all other than Emma and her daughter, the group needing Emma's expertise with her orca-device. In the mayhem, Mortha escapes the compound.... Mark is persuaded to return if but reluctantly to the fold to help track down the escaped monster and find the eco-terrorists holding his ex-wife and daughter. Meanwhile, Jonah with the help of Emma frees the three-headed Titan known as monster-zero which kills several monarch members before escaping. Monsters begin to emerge from their controlled Monarch environments, Godzilla will do battle with monster-zero who had already seen off Rodan, however, the U.S military launch a high-powered missile toward the battling giants, they believe Godzilla died in the blast, but, monster-zero ( Ghidorah) survives. Ghidorah will awaken many Titans who'll escape their controlled environment. With the world's cities under attack, a miracle is needed to change the course of inevitability.......... Dr Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) hopes that Godzilla survived the military attack as weapons against the titans on the loose are futile, only the king of the titans is capable of saving the dilemma. Can mankind and Titans co-exist? The script and storyline are pretty thin in truth, the film relies heavily on its visual effects to carry the day. Though the film strays away from the titan battles to tell the story of the Russell family's involvement in proceedings, I did in the main find the film quite watchable, though I can understand the Godzilla purists dislike for the way the action was portrayed. If you like myself have just been looking forward to the spectacle, I'd say you'll probably enjoy the movie in the main.

A new Godzilla movie. Following on from the 2014 version, and then 2017's prequel 'Kong; Skull Island.' Having seen the former film will be an idea, otherwise you might slightly struggle to get into this. You might be ok without having seen the second, but that's a good film, so give it a go if you haven't. It's back to the present day for the franchise, as MONARCH, the human organisation that deals with the existence of big monsters, faces new threats. People who have their own agenda for how to treat the creatures, and they're prepared to stop at nothing if someone gets in the way of that. And the monsters themselves. As Godzilla is about to face the battle of his life. it's a fight for the future of life on Earth. Who will come out on top? Sounds epic! But unfortunately it's a slight step back for a franchise that made good ones forward with Kong Skull Island. Whereas that had fairly good human characters, daytime action, and good monster stuff in the middle of it, this goes back to the mistakes of the first film. Focusing a little too much on the humans. Who are a little more three dimensional than the ones in that. But still not that interesting. The lead human villain is not a role that stretches Charles Dance in the least. Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame does what she can for her big movie debut. But really needs a role that allows her to show more range. Which Stranger Things season three showed she is capable of. It does get one good laugh out of the behaviour of two of the humans, though. The monster action, when it comes along, is not bad. And of a bigger scale than the first film. But it is taking place too often in the dark or the rain, so it never quite comes over as eye catching as it could. This is quite watchable while it lasts. And one little moment does pack a powerful emotional wallop, in a superbly understated way. The final shot is great as well. But not a film that will stick in the mind for long after. Has it's moments, but just could be a bit better. Do keep watching to the very end of the credits. The dvd has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English. Castilian Spanish. English audio captioned. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, French, Greek, Norwegian, Swedish. The disc goes into the main menu when loaded with no ads or trailers. The only extra is Monster Tech: Monarch joins the fight. An eight minute featurette with one of the producers talking about all the tech Monarch use in the film and how they came up with the ideas. It is quite a good watch, and makes the film look rather epic....

A sequel of 2014's eponymous 'Godzilla', this film has triple the monsters and quadruple the monster time. Without giving too much away - other than what's on the back of the DVD - we see some of Godzilla's oldest and most classic friends and foes joing the fray, creating an intricate story that really is more about monsters pummeling the life out of eachother than the human element. Of course they have to get in the plot and characters, but in all honesty it always feels a bit shoehorned in, in a film about, well, Godzilla. The effects are great, there's loads of screen time for a variety of 'titans', and it leads beautifully into a possible sequel. Really enjoy this, and I'm a big Godzilla fan. Plus Charles Dance, which is amazing.

Delivered in likely next day prime service. Bought to rematch. As follows the heroic efforts of crypto zoological agency monarch faces off again with the battery of god sized monsters raging havoc, humanity very existence hanging in balance as can godzilla turn the tide, clearly reminiscent of orginal old films, action fight scenes and effects,nostalgic sense of awe, brill cast is stacked, gives impression of weak dialogue
