They're loosely connected to the Thor universe but I know very little about them. They werent featured much in the comics. I DO know the Celestials 🙂. Thor once picked up a gigantic sword and hurled it through the leader's chest 🙂. It pulled the sword out and melted it like nothing...all the earth gods, Zeus, Odin, Egyptians etc, combined forces to animate a giant sized Destroyer to stop the Celestials (11-12 of 'em) from passing judgement on earth. It didn't work 🙂. They annihilated the Destroyer, and would have offed Thor if it wasn't for the intervention of mother earth. So their mystique has always fascinated me. Giant, armored, silent, powerful god like beings. I know that they supposedly came to earth a couple billion years ago, and conducted experiments that gave rise to these Eternals. Then the Celestials are supposed return and pass judgement on their worthiness to exist. That's pretty much what I know about them, I'm going o do some reading up. The blonde haired one, like Thor with a haircut, with the blue outfit, and red gloves and boots sticks out. Being that the Celestials are GIANT armored beings requiring animated CGI...huh huh huh...they haven't been given much justice in the MCU so far 😂. Marvel does CGI, but tend to avoid major league CGI. There was a quick glimpse of a Celestial in the first Guardians movie. They were turned into a 6-foot human...economical, huh huh huh 😂....in Guardians 2. Knowing Marvel's pattern...99% of the movie will focus on the costumed Eternals, and not their giant Celestial masters.

I thought Loki was later this month, its out already. My plan was to sign up for Disney+ when it releases. I'll sign up on my day off and watch the first two episodes. I'm expecting "okay" production values...the Thor universe being sci-fi/fantasy, I'm always gonna have a problem with frugality of Marvel Studios 🙂. It seems like its grounded into some interrogation setting...whatever they have to do to avoid too much animated (not inanimate) CGI. Hope I'm wrong, but Marvel Studios is tv level production company. Thats fine if its...Captain America...Iron Man...human type stories. CGI required to do the Thor universe right just seems out of their league. I'm watching Godzilla, King Kong, AND Mechagodzilla battle on the screen at the SAME time in a Legendary Pictures film...those guys...Thor has has some monstrous enemies and frenemies like Ulik.

I'm gonna...wait and see some impressions...someone's gonna have to convince me to see this instead of the SAW movie I missed...I chose Quiet Place 2, because the SAW movie viewing was an hour and a half later 🙂...QP2 was underwhelming...don't want to go 0-2. These "Blumhouse" line of horror films, that have taken over the genre, and crossed over into the mainstream boxoffice? I don't find them scary... sanitized, bloodless, non-violent, packaged for the mainstream PG-13 audience. The last Halloween movie was scary 🙂. The movie with the blind man was scary. These Blumhouse movies that they keep cranking off the assembly line...if I see ONE more door slam, furniture move, fog machine effects, or halloween costume "demons"...I'm gonna be totally over Blumhouse 🙂. It's not scary! It that "a ghooooooooooost!!!!!" horror. There HAS to be the threat of VIOLENCE 🙂. Gore! That whats-under-my-bed horror wouldn't scare a 6 year old!

Also, in the trailers, the man says the people still alive out there, aren't the kind of people worth saving. I expected a lot more from that than what it turned out to be...

Copley's Agent Kruger (Elysium) is the villain of 2013 😂 (smack) "you remember now!!" "I want whats in that head boykee!!", chaos, and ship crashes 😂 Should be interesting if he's the villain 😂

I know there's gonna be some "wokeness" in this movie, the question is, how much. Thats what's concerning me right now. If Natalie is "Thor" for a portion of the movie, I'm okay with that. If Hemsworth/Thor is "taken out" of much of the movie (or made to look incompetent), and Natlalie is actually the hero, and conqueror of the villain, we're gonna have a problem with that 🙂.

I uh...liked the original a lot better than this...you know when studios get an unexpected hit? And they try to stretch it to a trilogy? And the second movie is kind of a time waster, to get to the third movie? That's what this felt like. Krasinski wasn't aware of how huge the original was going to be. 50M OW, 1st place. Barely beaten by Dwayne Johnson's Rampage the second weekend. It then miraculously came back to crush Rampage to regain the top spot 🙂. Had Krasinski knew this, he would not have killed himself off in the first film, so it seemed like he 😂 It dragged at times, and seemed like filler, to get to the third movie. Almost forgot to mention, wokeness 🙂. The

You don't know SAW then 🙂. Its basically a killer that uses gruesome booby traps.

Really? Well, that's out the way, I can go right to Justice League Director's cut 🙂. Have to make that a two-parter, there's no way I can sit through a 4-hour film. I saw that new Christopher Nolan movie on there too. It looks like a movie with an abundance of twist and turns, which I'm not fond of ("twists"), but I'll check it out.

I just HBO Maxed it...I agree with a lot of the criticisms...a little underwhelming. Sub-Zero was awesome though. One thing that bugs me in movies...a guy will get cast, and he has a deep foreign accent. The guy that played Kano is Australian or South African? If you got a deep accent, talk SLOWER 🙂. He's firing off lines and destroying it with that accent, and you're like, what did he say? Oh well, on to Wonder Woman 1984. 150 minutes, whoa...

They did that thing again...where they release a movie too close to a previous one. The previous movie then has a short window in which to leg it out in the theaters. It also shows that the second movie was obviously the priority...

The reduced hours of the movie theaters right now forced me into a subscription to HBO Max. I'll be getting around to Wonder Woman 1984 after Mortal Kombat and Justice League Directors cut (may take 2 days to finish that, over 4 hours). Keep hearing bad things about it, but I've loved movies before that no one else liked 🙂 I refuse to upgrade from my Samsung 1080i 55" 3D set for flat picture 4K, because I view it as a technological downgrade 🙂. I'm skipping a generation in the hopes that they'll re-introduce 3D. So I have a miniature theater experience at home. I tested the faux 3D function on Godzilla vs Kong and loved it. The streaming apps are gonna be the way to go until the theaters go back to full operations.

You almost have to make a Godzilla sequel. The last impression of the monsterverse can't be the absolute beating Godzilla got 😂! You're like, there can't be a sequel if Godzilla's DEAD, because there's about to be a murder here 😂! Godzilla has to regain the respect!

Does this bother you too? Godzilla has a classic distinctive roar. They messed it up the entire series 😂. It's starts of high pitched, like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!". Like a baby crying? Then it dives into a deeper tone! "oooooohhhhh!!!!!!" "AaaaaaaaaaaaaaOooooooooohhhhh!!!!!" 😂! They couldn't get it right the whole three movies!

I can see a third and final Kong movie, a hollow earth crisis? I don't know where else you can go with Godzilla. Nice 4-movie franchise, one stinker, Godzilla 2014. Godzilla is over here, let's show something else over there 🙂. You know hollywood though 🙂. This movie is kinda the rebirth of theaters from the pandemic, and this momentum could embolden the studio to go ahead with a 4th Godzilla film. They can't really add Ultra Man because of what's at the end of this movie 😂...maybe baby Godzilla, that was a notable movie. Almost forgot, a frequent sequel tactic! The !

Oh, really? I knew Paramount can't be this crazy to challenge Marvel 😂. Thor 4 will have it all in the bank by then.

How is this Theater/Streaming same day model working for studios? Im not an economist...they would have to depend on NEW subscribers to the streaming service, to offset the theater losses. Or they would have to pay-wall the movie on the app. Or, are they just accepting the minute, if any, profit on the movie, writing it off as a pandemic loss? A lot of these movies that were slated for the theaters cost upwards of 200M to produce!

Head to head with Thor: Love&Thunder...Thor only got that May summer kickoff date because the James Gunn scandal pushed Guardians 3 back. Thats the only reason...Ragnarok pulled off the upset over DC's big "Avengers" team up, Justice League, forcing this sequel on Feige 🙂. But to go against Tom Cruise's A franchise, thats a tall order. Perhaps Marvel Studios can put enough FEAR into Paramount (?) to pull out of the date. Marvel is good at that 🙂. Maybe an aggressive advertising campaign can make Paramount blink. Not that its gonna crush Thor 4? They will both cancel each other out, and only see moderate success. Cruise also happens to be big in China, while Thor is not. That bothers me...but on the same token, Marvel is big in the US, and Cruise isnt. So I see a "draw".

I had this as the climax to a 4-movie franchise, but people are talking about another Kong and Godzilla solo release. I don't know where they can go from here...already done KOTM...a remake of baby Godzilla? Where Kong ended up could set up a possibility for Kong 3... One dud, 2014 Godzilla. That team forgot to actually put Godzilla in the movie 🙂. Overall this will be a great franchise on the home market for years to come.

I tell you what, the villains may have been crazy, but their plan would have WORKED if

The sizes...I wondered how Kong could be the same size as Godzilla? It more like they...resized Godzilla to Kong's Size. If Kong is able to be that means he's still Skull Island size. It's Godzilla that the CGI team re-sized. Beautiful job by the CGI teams. This is why I've always wanted Legendary Pictures to do a Thor film 🙂. Marvel does CGI, but theyre a costume and makeup studio at heart. So the Thor films have been frugal in the effects. They've avoided Thor characters that would be too CGI heavy. You gotta have CGI to bring Thor's world, and monstrous enemies to life. Thor 3 scratched the surface. The giant Surtur swinging his sword out the 3D picture at the end in Ragnarok was very impressive 🙂. I was like, these guys are getting it now! But I know in my heart that Legendary would go bonkers with Thor's giant foes, like the Midgard Serpent. Legendary has always been totally on board with CGI, no matter how expensive!

Can I say this here? That's the first time I have ever seen Godzilla It's really Kong Skull Island 2, guest staring Godzilla for most of the film, so be prepared for that. People complaining about the human guys, but there was one unhinged fella that kept their scenes funny and interesting 😂. Alright so: 1. GvK 2. KOTM 3. (2.5 really) Skull Island 4. Godzilla 2014

Thanks. Waiting for the 3D viewing to start in about 30 minutes. AMC doesn't do IMAX 3D anymore...just IMAX flat. 3D is the best option for a sci-fi 3D fest like this 🙂 I got KOTM slightly ahead of Skull Island. Rodan coming out of the volcano and taking flight, to hurricane force winds 🙂...King Ghidorah, MORE Godzilla in the movie this time... Skull Island comes up a close second, via Samuel L Jackson's villain 😂. The look on his face, as he thought he burned Kong to death 😂 The first Godzilla comes up a distant dead last...the director came up with a brilliant idea of a Godzilla movie without Godzilla IN it 🙂. It's just two monsters fighting, why don't we show something else while that's going on 🙂 That stinker may have dampened anticipation for KOTM.

Gonna see it later today. Yes or no question...the after credits scene of King of the Monsters showed smugglers delivering one of King Ghidorah heads to the terrorist dude. Was that just a scene that went nowhere, or does that factor, in some way, into Godzilla vs Kong?

I'm seeing it this weekend...Im a little concerned though...the runtime? It's under 2 hours. For what I think is the final film of this 4-movie series, the climax, 118 minutes is kinda soft...oh well, maybe it will surprise me...
