Godzilla Proves Why He’s King of the Monsters

I had so much fun with this film! First off, this film had so many little Easter eggs (none of which you’ll get from me though)! Admittedly, not real heavy on the interpersonal stuff, but let’s be honest, we watch Godzilla film because stuff gets wrecked, and this film does NOT disappoint!!!

The film jumps right into it with an explanation of how the main characters came to be involved with this particular episode of the film. During a San Francisco attack this pic of family lost one of their children in the destruction and in a storyline that reminds me of a certain Batman tale the mom, played wonderfully by Vera Farmiga, goes one way and the dad (played by Kyle’s Chandler) goes another leaving their child (masterfully played by Millie Bobby Brown) stuck between the two.
Now this is just the beginning of a well thought out foundation, but it does not end there as there is yet another element to this story. A group of eco-terrorists is trying to awaken all the Titans with the idea that this will reboot the world. To this end this group violently invades Monarch with the intention of stealing a bit of technology created by Dr. Emma Russell, a technology that allows the user to communicate with these entities, or control them. 
Now being a big time Godzilla fan, having grown up on them as a kid, I appreciated the incorporation of SEVERAL different creatures, however I will say that some of them did look a bit silly. 
The main focus of this film, however, is that we are destroying the world and that these Titans can fix that. This is the motivation behind this group and their Awakening of all of the Titans, but especially King Ghidorah (otherwise known as Monster Zero). by the way the fact that they called him Monster Zero was a huge plus for me!
Throughout the movie we see Monarch trying to keep one step ahead, but like with most large organizations they are somewhat fettered by the powers over then while the Eco terrorists enjoy much more freedom and definitely exploit that fact. 
Part of the subplot that I liked was that Millie Bobby Brown’s character Maddie was caught up in this tug-o-war between her mom and dad’s divorce, the monsters, and choosing sides. Part of this is due to her and her mom getting kidnapped by the terrorist group which has her dad joining up with monarch to try and find them. 
Now I did mention that they dropped a lot of Easter eggs, and for any Godzilla fan you’ll be able to easily spot them, and, at least for me, these were a Major throwback to my childhood and really brought the film to life for me.
Now, the fight scenes are plentiful and very energetic! I mean, if you’re looking for destruction you’ve definitely got it! Godzilla takes on Monster Zero several times with some great nods to classic Godzilla moves! Breath weapons abound as King Ghidorah and Godzilla go head to head as they tear through the earthly cities leaving a wide path of destruction! They, however are not the only ones! Rodan also plays a major part is this theater leaving a literal wake of annihilation where ever he goes. 
Visually the film is gorgeous desolation with building after building crumbling like Jenga blocks before these Titans! The military as well as Monarch are feeble before these Giants and so they are left to battle each other with Godzilla receiving only minimally effective assistance from the humans. 
In the end I would say that if you want an afternoon of super fun, and a great throwback with a film that nicely introduces these classics to this generation go see Godzilla King of the Monsters. Bring the little ones, bring grandparents, shoot bring a date! I think this film will, and does not disappoint!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
