The Godzilla: King of the Monsters Rotten Tomatoes score is starting to trickle in, and it is rather lukewarm.
With 28 reviews presently accounted for, the Godzilla: King of the Monsters Rotten Tomatoes score is currently at 54%.
Update 5/29: 68 reviews are in with a 49% RT score.
Update 5/31: 186 reviews are in with a 41% Rotten Tomatoes score; 90% of the audience states they like it. Godzilla: King of the Monsters also scored a $6.3 million for its Thursday advanced preview box office, which is $3 million behind the 2014 Godzilla movie’s $9.3 million. KOM now looks to have an opening weekend of between $50-60 million, well under the $93 million for the 2014 movie.
Original article continues:
The Rotten Tomatoes number is lower than the 2014 movie’s 75% score and lower than Shin Godzilla‘s 86% score, and also lower than Kong: Skull Island‘s 75%.
Hopefully, with the movie getting released this weekend, more reviews will be released and the score comes in a bit higher. I felt the 2014 movie and Skull Island were okay flicks, nothing to write home about, but I was hoping this one would do better.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters gets released May 31, 2019 starring Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Charles Dance, Kyle Chandler, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Sally Hawkins, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ziyi Zhang, and Ken Watanabe.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
