Lmao this comment didn't age very well. The opposite ended up being true. Minues the cringe dialogue and writing that was so self-aware that it didn't even give a shit.

I loved this movies actually. It blew my mind with how damn fun it was and it had me cheering and going F-YEAH! The movie was so absurd, ridiculous, over the top and it's some of the most fun I ever had watching a movie. The plot was so crazy that it just worked. It moved everything forward and gave us spectacular visuals. Sometimes I was just like "wtf am I even watching", but then I just sat back and loved every moment of it. It was over so fast keeping me engaged.
Normally I would tear films that pull this stunt apart, except the difference here was the movie was well aware how ridiculous it was and used that in its favor to make the movie fun and engaging. The movie just releases dopamine as you watch xD I loved it. It's not hard to see why others did too.
I nearly fell asleep watching King of Monsters in theaters and couldn't stand the stupidity of Pacific Rim. This movie just recognized the faults of those films and understood that the monsters are the true protagonist and it just ROCKS! Also the world building was amazing even if it didn't really make sense in it's universe.
