Longer than it should be for my taste, or maybe I'm bored with the subject and as time goes on I appreciate more direct, condensed information in general. But more than a 5 something score for sure. When I came here and saw the stupid 1 star reviews it confirmed that lots of them are offended christian trolls. So, as many others here, I'll give it a 10 to balance things out, and I hate to do this because I'd like to score it fairly as per my opinion on it and know how other with critic capacity feel, but fanatics take that away from us and I don't like to let an obvious injustice slide. Like in other controversial topics, racism while BLM, the incel or eminist-triggering stuff, or superhero fanboys without critic sense, it's become a hotspot for fanatic trolls spewing poison.

I would have loved to rate this movie higher, there's plenty of potential in the concept and some of the ideas in the movie but I couldn't stand the characters. Their interactions with each other, and their development doesn't follow human rules, they are what is needed in the scene and that creates a disconnect that avoided me to enjoy the film. Most of it is also completely predictable, except for a twist near the end, and I'm not sure if I couldn't see due to the incoherence of it all at that point. I would have rated it at least 5 because it feels like a movie despite its flaws, but there are so many good reviews I feel like I need to warn others, thus this review.

I went to the cinema quite happy the critics didn't like it having read some negative reviews that focused on lack of plot, etc. and viewing the 85% of viewers scores in rottentomatoes I expected to get an unapologetic 3D feast of monster battles and destruction. And the few moments of that were perfect, almost all were in the trailer tho, the photography at some points was incredible, looked like illustrations, and the sound was quite good. But we should establish we don't care about the plot nor the human characters as we don't care about the movie trying to explain the technology or how the monsters work, doesn't make sense, perfectly alright. This is the one movie I don't care about cameras flying unrealistically or almost-satellite shots of the battle, so why cut non-stop the monster battle after less than 5 seconds of fighting with shots of people being chased or other uninteresting stuff. I don't care about the human characters in this movie, in fact I was hoping they died and stopped interrupting the monster fights. I thought it was clear what we all wanted to see. The sense of scale was ok but most of the monster scenes were in darkness, that and the cutting of the battles looked like they were trying to save budget, which I don't understand as Shin Gozilla accomplished the same sense of huge scale, destruction and great 3D and in daylight with a minimal budget in comparison. And I understand mainstream audiences used to blockbuster effects would see the monster in Shin Godzilla as goofy and the movie boring because they talk a lot, but when the monsters appeared technically it looked great and they didn't cut every 3 seconds with something completely different, if they had taken that cue for KOTM it would have been an amazing monster movie.
