I would argue that Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019 film) was not as good as the trailer lead me to beleve. Specifically the trailer with Clair de Lune by Debussy. Like they hit some of the beats I was looking forward to, but the I disagree with the execution. Ultimately, I felt the movie rang a tad hollow.
Lots of style, good ideas, lack of meaningful substance.
I loved that movie's version of King Ghidorah, I liked any and all of the monster scenes. The problem is that it fell to the Transformers issue, where they focused on the humans than the monsters. I didn't care about the parents and child conflict but it tried butting in the story at many moments.
