GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS has arrived. What did you think?

Here at FM, we loved it. Unabashedly. The sheer amount of love that this film has for classic Heisei Godzilla films is totally palpable. The monsters look amazing, the fights are spectacular, and the soundtrack is epic and moving. While hardly a perfect film, it’s a damn good time at the movies, and rightly establishes Godzilla as number one in the monster world (sorry, Frankenstein — it was close).

We felt like giddy kids watching our favorite kaiju characters throw down, and there were plenty of surprises, too; so while it was hard, we managed to narrow down our favorite moments of the movie to 8 shiver-worthy snippets of cinema. It’s absolutely worth going a second and third time just to see them again.
