Godzilla: King of the Monsters: A battle as epic as it is monstrous
Especially Mark Russel, who sees them, and especially Godzilla, as enemies. Directed by Michael Dougherty, the film is carried by a solid and convincing cast, even if the charisma of the actors, is sometimes overtaken by that of the monsters. Kyle Chandler, Vera Fermiga and Millie Bobby Brown, appearing here for the first time on the big screen, are a broken and traumatized family, whose actions seem guided by mourning that is not yet fully done. Gradually, their relationship evolves, and their characters see their perspective change. Their alchemy also makes dramatic scenes particularly touching.

The battles are titanic, in every sense of the word, and the experience becomes immersive thanks to a powerful sound that almost shakes the seats. It’s like you’re there. Add to that just the right amount of family drama, science and sacrifice, and you have the recipe for an epic blockbuster.
