Still too small. He needs to be at least 3 times that size to stand a chance against Godzilla. Remember its not only Godzilla's size that gives him a huuuge advantage but also his atomic breath and other physical attributes.

How did Kong even win the first time?

They increased his size and gave him access to powers the Jedi don't teach about

Jamming a tree down into Godzilla's throat.

Size isn't everything. Godzilla has lost to much small opponents.

This will underperform. I don't hear anyone talking about it

[Captain Craig]

Saw this again in front of John Wick 2 yesterday. 

Still not excited for it. I feel the John C Reily character is going to become annoying fast and frequently among other things that don't jazz me up for this.

NO it doesn't but overwhelming size is everything. Kong is out of his league by miles not just a simple size difference. An ant can't defeat a human being.

Also, it's getting a press screening in South Korea.

He got fucked over by a baby moth 4 times before he finally saw it coming. Kong has more fighting skill and is more agile it seems

Kong isn't an Ant to Godzilla. Kong will have Speed and agility on Godzilla. Size and power mean shit if you can't hit your target. (And that godzilla got beat by something comparable to an ant as well.)

That was a sillier time for those monster movies. I doubt think modern audiences are going to be easily fooled by that this time.

Maybe it's time I tell you the story about David and Goliath. Or Muhammad Ali.

Im talking about the 2014 version

 

Besides going by the trailer Kong is larger than the villain in the 2014 version too, so i dont see the big deal? Godzilla is real slow

Kong is 100 feet tall in this film. In Godzilla, the smaller male MUTO was--according to various sources--anywhere from 60-91 meters tall (or 200-300 feet). So no, Kong isn't big enough to fight Godzilla.

 

But that's why Kong: Skull Island takes place in the 1970's, and why Godzilla took place in 2014. It was made known from a NYCC promotional item that

this iteration of King Kong is an adolescent. He has 40+ years to grow.

 

Everything else, though I agree with. Kong has a speed advantage, whereas Godzilla lumbered when on land. Not to mention, Kong appears to be more acrobatic than the latter. It should be an entertaining fight.

[Lavochkin]

A small clip has been released. Just some dialogue.

The buzz on this seems awfully quiet, at the moment.

Yep. Needs a good dose of that "Oh look the cast are all FRIIIIIENDS with each other!" press tour that SS had a month before.

[Stormagden]

Very excited for this movie, definetly seeing it in theaters.
