Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Monstrous!
Sure, the human characters are dull as dishwater but screw it, the monsters are king here. Great battles and sequences that really do justice to the original movies. Also sets up Kong VS Godzilla well and I will be seeing that too.
Book of Monsters (2018)
Not Great, Not Terrible
Normally when you watch films of this type you're rolling a dice and thankfully this one came out with the odds in my favor. It's an enjoyable horror movie, very much in the vein of 80s schlock complete with practical effects. The cast were surprisingly like-able which is rare in a film like this where it's clear they had pretty much no budget. The lead girl was a breath of fresh air and actually felt like a real human being, not some cookie-cutter bimbo with her assets on display. The rest of the cast were also good with the Stripper being a highlight. There are negatives, the main one being the monsters are a bit low rent and some scenes really drag but the film gets a pass on this for being a mostly entertaining ride. Obligatory post-credits scene sets up a sequel that I honestly wouldn't hate to see. As long as chapter 2 has more original monsters.
