With the upcoming deluge of blockbusters, the return of some TV show featuring a bit too much incest, and little indie film about a ragtag group taking down a giant purple man with a fancy gauntlet, everyone seems to have forgotten that we’re going to get a new Godzilla film this year.
With the release of its latest trailer, it looks like the dumb, epic monster dumpster fire we all expected, and that’s a good thing.
Titled Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, the movie is a sequel to 2014’s Godzilla and revolves around the titular giant lizard/reptile/thing fighting not one, not two, but three(!) enemy monsters. Yeah.
There’s a giant moth called Mothra:
Keep this thing away from your clothes.
A giant flying dinosaur-like creature called Rodan who really likes hanging around in volcanos:
This is literally something an over-sugared kid would come up with.
And the big daddy of all the new creatures, the three-headed flying dragon thing called King Ghidorah:
That sound was 6-year-old you screaming in excitement.
Mixed in between Godzilla fighting all these monsters is also Millie Bobby Brown, who is in the film for reasons we haven’t quite worked out yet. She’s definitely got a wide range of reaction shots absolutely nailed though so expect at least half a movie of those.
She absolutely nails the “stare into the distance” schtick.
Look, there’s also a bunch of lore and story in Godzilla: King Of The Monsters but you only really need to know two things: Godzilla is going to fight three gigantic creatures in an epic battle involving screams, breaths of fire, and cataclysmic destruction, and Millie Bobbie Brown is probably not going to survive this dumpster fire in terms of both her film career and her character.
But hey, if there was a movie that is pure “turn off your brain and enjoy the ride” trash, it’s definitely this new Godzilla film. For those expecting a masterclass in acting, writing, and directing, go look somewhere else because you’re sure as hell ain’t getting that here.
Feast your eyes on the fustercluck of a trailer right here before the it comes out on May 31.
