The Legendary Godzilla movies get a bad rap, I think. Overall, they feel to me like “what if the Heisei-era Godzilla movies had a Hollywood budget?”- totally in keeping with the vibe of the 90’s Toho flicks. Shin Godzilla was a wonderful and amazing movie, but feels like an experimental outlier to me. The Legendary movies (with the possible exception of 2014, and including the Kong stuff) feel more in line with the bulk of Toho’s output. And Dougherty’s King of the Monsters is a flat out masterpiece of the Zillaverse, poor reviews be damned.
