Or, as they're called in this series (and elsewhere? I don't know) Kaiju and Jaegers respectively.
This is a sequel to the best non-Godzilla Godzilla movie (in all but name), this time starring Star Wars own John Boyega as its reluctant hero, as the son of the "we're cancelling the apocalypse" hero from the first move, and who gets drawn back into the whole military training around the Jaegers 10 years after the events of that last movie.
Just in time, then, for him to be in place as the undersea breaches reopen and more of those Kaiju to come through ...
Dumb fun, but seemingly lacking something (although you can actually see what's happening in the battles this time around!) compared to the original, or to the various 'official' Godzilla/King Kong/etc movies.

It's takes everything from the first film, and makes it so much worse - the characters are dumber and even more unlikable (although this time we're mercifully spared from the edgy mugshot introductions - it's the small victories), the story is less cohesive, the setting is somehow more boring, and it's less gory. I know that gore isn't the be all and end all of horror, but when you're making a run of the mill slasher, then it's expected. At least the first film packed a bit of a punch in that regard.
Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs is probably the best thing going here. His killer is still suitably intimidating, but he's stuck in a huge turd of a film unfortunately.
I'd still just about take this over Leprechaun Origins, but would rather just forget that WWE horror films are a thing at this point.

Firstly, they kill the dog, which is unforgivable!
The way they brought Harry back was very well done, I was worried that it would be too contrived, but it was clever.
Unfortunately they killed of two of the potentially most interesting characters (and two of my favourites) from the first film, Merlin & Lancelot, which was very disappointing. Would have loved to see Lancelot go toe to toe with the American team.
And Elton John, much as I like him, if he's the best part of a film with actors of the calibre of the other cast members, something has gone very wrong.
