Oh the irony!
Godzilla II: The King of the Monsters. Michael Dougherty. 2019. 
I have to say that there’s bits of this that doesn’t make that much sense. Those bits are: The beginning, the middle, and the end.
But it’s Godzilla, so it’s not like I was expecting anything else, really. The attraction is seeing some CGI monsters tear down some CGI cities while some Japanese guy talks about the Earth being out of balance and stuff. And it delivers on those points, although disappointingly enough, so much of the CGI takes place at night, under water, during a snow storm (i.e., the ideal environment for cheaping out on the CGI).
I mean, the budget was only $170M.
This movie hits all the notes of a Godzilla movie: Sometimes it’s so on the nose that you wonder whether they’re doing this as a parody of a Godzilla movie, but it’s not.
If you’re not into Godzilla, you’ll find it a total bore. But I give it all thumbs up.
