After years of whimpering performances at the global box office, the MonsterVerse finally gave Godzilla justice.

The partnership between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures that started in 2014 has since birthed a cinematic universe filled with monstrous giants such as Godzilla and King Kong.
