Early audiences are finally feasting their eyes on Godzilla: King of the Monsters and first reactions are stomping their way on to the internet. Directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat) from a script co-written by Dougherty and Zach Shields (Krampus), King of the Monsters serves as a sequel to Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla but with at least quadruple the colossal Kaiju action. This time around, the title beast from the deep is joined by longtime monster rivals Rodan, Mothra, and the three-headed King Ghidorah.

Joining in on the fun from the human side is Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, along with Vera Farmiga, Charles Dance, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Ken WatanabeKyle Chandler, and O'Shea Jackson Jr.

So basically, word on the street is that Godzilla: King of the Monsters freakin' owns on a monstrous level. Director Gareth Edwards made a bold choice in 2014 when his Godzilla featured a distinct lack of Godzilla, and King of the Monsters seems to have remedied that by having the titular beast and his massive foes cause as much Kaiju mayhem as possible. If you thought modern-day monster flicks didn't have enough building-sized creatures walloping each other in the face, King of the Monsters sounds like the movie for you.

Full reviews of Godzilla: King of the Monsters won't be available for a while, but you can check out the first, immediate reactions below. The film hits theaters on May 31.
