3/5
The fleshing out of the MonsterVerse continues to fail to make most of its human characters interesting, but scrapes by on the outsize thrills of its Titanic action. Go to Full Review

May not reach the emotional heights of Toho’s superb “Godzilla Minus One” (2023), but it comes closer than any Monsterverse entry so far. Go to Full Review

If you love Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and other kaiju monster flicks, but have yet to check out Apple’s modern take on the genre, now is the time to start. Go to Full Review

I’m really not the target audience for this show, but for all its faults "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" season 2 did interest me enough to see it through to the end and still have some interest in seeing where a few of these characters go... Go to Full Review

Delivers an exciting and hard-hitting series that stands on its own but also knows how to keep viewers excited for the larger future of the MonsterVerse. Go to Full Review

Santiago T. @ElTapia 8h I loved the relationship between Lee and the Japanese woman; their romance was very exciting. See more KAZUHIRO D @RT73915283 8h まだ3話までですが、途中で見るのを諦めました 全部、配信されてから観ようと思います 今、現時点では非常に残念です、泣きたいぐらいです シーズン1から見てきましたが、耐えられないです この物語を制作している監督やプロデューサーの 過ちは非常に大きい 私が気になった点を箇条書きにします ・ケイトのキャラクターに魅力がありません →わがままで傲慢、責任能力もなく、フラストレーションが溜まります →今回の問題を起こしたのはケイトなので、家に帰るのはおかしい →演じている役者の人は悪くないです ・人間関係が薄っぺらい →シーズン2になってからみんな考えているのは、  怪獣の脅威ではなく、セックスだけです →主人公の一族が、みんな不倫しているのは悪い意味で笑えます →3話の途中時点なので、変わるといいな ・ゴジラが一切出てこない →3話まで見たら、1本の映画は終わっている時間です →なのにゴジラが出てこないのは、私の期待を大きく裏切ります →人間関係が見ていられないので、尚更怪獣を見たいです 最後に言いたいのは、 これはあくまでエンターテイメントのビジネスです 私は見るためにお金を支払っています なのに、描いていることは人の思想ばかりです 制作サイドが、このような思想をアートのように見せるのは 自主制作でやるべきことだと考えています コンセプトを思い出してください これは、怪獣の脅威に人々がどう対応、処理していくかの 人間模様を描く作品だったはずです これから物語が面白くなることを期待しています See more Warren A @RT67873664 9h Show had so much potential,but fell flat poor writing,such a waste doubt a season 3 will come .I've watched anime with far superior writing and dialogue and character development. See more B F. @Mr.E.Book 12h The writing is just plain bad. See more KandN D @KevinCatt 16h Plagued by 2020÷ feminism, woke checklists. No terrible, but far too predictable and unbelievable characters. See more Ken H @RT20423466 1d Ungodly amount of cliche copy paste script and plot elements. Very few actual monsters. The writing features most annoying spoiled teenagers with zero sense of self preservation or rational logic doing stupid things for no reason other than the plot needs to go somewhere and the writers want to take a shortcut. I wish it was serious like Shin Godzilla or Godzilla Minus 1, but its not the writers obviously loathed writing about 'stupid monsters' and made this a cliche teen drama with almost no monsters, some episodes none at all, and the bad guys are not the monsters being destruction its some human tech bros nefarious plans for the monsters. like ffs we dont need more tech bro narratives we wanted monsters to specifically not think about the shitty real world issues of tech bros and AI.
