Godzilla: King of the Monsters Review - Finally, a good American Godzilla
As part of the promotion for King of the Monsters, composer Bear McCreary did a cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla.” I heard it a few days ago and immediately wrote it off as a wretched, overproduced attempt to dodge paying royalties.
By the time King of the Monsters ended and that song played over the end credits, I stomped my feet to the beat and danced in my chair.
So that’s how I felt about the movie.

Hereafter I’ll be calling the movie Godzilla 2, because NUMBER YOUR MOVIES,
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. But Godzilla 2 is by far the most fun any American
Godzilla movie has been. It is largely a faithful adaptation of the classic Godzilla
movie format: a mysterious monster conflict emerges, humans scurry about trying to explain it and avoid being squished, and Godzilla faces increasingly dire battles to save our hides. He is a tornado that's fight on our side.
