NO SPOILERS HERE!
The film is very, very LOUD. This is not a film for a child under 10 y/o, just too intense.
There are a TON of Easter Eggs and nods to other G films. Some subtle, some in-your-face. I promise you will laugh out loud at some while your non-G-Fans will ask you "what's so funny?" Can you catch them all? I won't list any until more of you have seen the film .
A half hour could have been cut from the film. But compared to the 2014 film, this is way down on human drama and way up on monsters!
An. yes, there is an after-scene. Which will make you laugh out loud or groan.
Enjoy!

How that compares to other Legendary beastly movies: It’s lower than 2014’s Godzilla previews of $9.3m (started at 8PM) and higher than March 2017’s Kong: Skull Island ($3.7M off 7pm shows) and March 2018’s Pacific Rim Uprising sequel ($2.35M).
Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ RT Score is at 41% Rotten. From certain realms with knowledge of pre-sales, we’re hearing Godzilla and friends is Teflon-proof against reviews, and could potentially meet or excel its $50M+ projection. We’ll see. The pic plays in 4,108 theaters today.

Godzilla 2 should play big with the kids on Saturday and Sunday. Warts and all, it works as a big and splashy, monster movie that delivers the promised spectacle. I’m pretty mixed on it (it has better characters than Godzilla but lacks that film’s awe and majesty) but my (almost) eight-year-old son stated that it was the best movie he’d ever seen. Yes, he’s seen the other Monster-Verse movies and disagrees with me about Skull Island being the best of the three. Point being, we’re probably looking at an opening weekend between $57 million and $75 million, with Warner Bros. and Legendary hoping that they can at least boast “bigger than Skull Island” on Sunday.

An insider just posted that KOTM made 19 million on Friday, and that includes Thursday previews. Will be lucky to make 50 million for the weekend.
Cinemascore is B+, which is the same score that G14 had.
KOTM is DOA.

Granted, I didn't care for the movie, but why don't we at least wait until the opening weekend is over before we start shoveling dirt on the casket, hmmm?
