It’s been a bit since moviegoers had the
chance to catch up with Godzilla, five years in
fact, which in cinematic franchise time feels
like at least a few decades. In other words, it’s
understandable if you go into “Godzilla: King
of the Monsters” a little rusty on just what went
down in Tokyo and San Francisco back in 2014.
But ”Godzilla: King of the Monsters ” is a sequel
in the loosest possible sense that requires
minimal recall from the audience, which is likely
a good thing for those whose brains have been
overloaded with “Game of Thrones,” “Avengers”
and “Star Wars” minutiae and mythology.
