Godzilla: King of the Monsters Gets Brutal Honest Trailer

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a film that is divisive. While many believe that the Michael Dougherty directed film offered enough titanic kaiju action to satisfy any audience member, others had serious problems with the human cast and the pacing of the film overall. Enter Screen Junkies' popular "Honest Trailers" series and their recent take on the Legendary Pictures sequel that is acting as a precursor to next years huge crossover, Godzilla Vs Kong!

We would be remiss if we didn't immediately mention that use of one of our own articles discussing the upcoming crossover film slated for next year that features the lord of Skull Island facing off against the lizard king. Our own Nick Valdez wrote up an article about the Godzilla Vs Kong production wrapping up in Australia and it was featured prominently in the video itself. Great job Nick!

The Screen Junkies manage to lay out some fairly effective criticisms in this trailer, knocking the movie down a peg with some valid concerns and hilarious nitpicks all the same. Regardless of its financial or critical success, the kaijus will have another opportunity to attempt to hit a home run next year and perhaps expand the Legendary Pictures' Monster-verse even further depending on the upcoming crossover's overall success.

The first Legendary Pictures' Godzilla film had a bundle of its own problems, most often cited for simply not showing the lizard king enough in his own feature length film. Screen Junkies manages to tackle this subject early on in the video, stating how a large amount of screen time is given to both Godzilla and the other monsters rampaging across the world in the film. Whether or not next year's sequel will manage to improve upon the problems of Godzilla, Kong Skull Island, and King Of The Monsters, is yet to be seen but we don't have to wait that long for an answer!
