I’m a big fan of the Monsterverse. I have enjoyed all of them, usually more than I expected. But this is probably the worst of all of the Monsterverse movies so far. I’m not saying it was bad. But I just didn’t feel the awesome that all of the other movies somehow managed to capture here and there.
I hope the franchise isn’t running out of steam. I’d really like to see more of this universe, but I wonder what they can do to recapture the magic that it once had. It could be that I feel this way because I was trying to find Peetimes during the movie while also trying to enjoy it, but this is the situation for every movie I see in the theater.

Distant Action
It’s hard to describe, but it felt like the fight scenes were more distant in this movie. They just didn’t pack the emotional punch that is common in many of the other Monsterverse movies. Take for instance the fight between Godzilla and Tiamat. That should have been a pretty big deal, but it was over in 30 seconds. It’s like the director felt that Godzilla had somewhere better to be so let’s just cut to the end of this fight.
Characters
Where the monsters in this movie were a bit of a letdown, I think the script does a slightly better job with the human characters. Not all of the Monsterverse movies have well-written characters but most of them are more than adequate. This one isn’t that much different. There was good dialog without getting too bogged down in human plot development. I think that was the biggest problem that plagued Godzilla vs King Kong.
Grade: C-
About The Peetimes: I think the 1st Peetime is easily the best. The second Peetime is pretty good. The third isn’t bad, but it’s the worst of the bunch. Note: The second Peetime has a visual cue and I’m not certain I the start time is exactly right. If I did please let me know. ([email protected])
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
