Unfitclock Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I was pleasantly surprised with how much screen time was just kong and other kongs or just the creatures and no humans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hopefully the return of Mothra sets the stage for an Avengers/Justice League/Destroy All Monsters style Titan team-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I was also amused by Kong dragging Godzilla by his tail toward the Hollow Earth portal as if he was like "I need your help and I don't have time for another pissing contest". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The shot of Kong and Godzilla vs Shimo and Scar King running against each other 😩 I almost went up from my seat like and clapped. Pure cinema🔥 loved that we actually got another fight between Kong and Godzilla that actually lasted a bit. Loved that we got to focus more on Kong while Godzilla was just doing his shit before the 3rd act. I expected to like this but didn’t expect to love it. Honestly want them to spend more time in Hollow Earth going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I haven't seen this but don't care about spoilers - to me KOTM and GvK were fun but not really at all "fun bad" in the cheesy, goofy way I like - is this kind of more in the same vein as those two tonally or is it way more hokey?

I saw it this afternoon and I thought it was a big bright colorful mess but the monster fights were silly fun. IMO, the fights are goofy in a fun way....Kong using Baby Kong as a weapon silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcaballero Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The third act kinda fell apart for me a bit. At a certain point, it practically lampshaded any criticism of weightless action scenes by have an actual weightless action scene. Rio looked especially terrible too, almost to the point where I was squinting to try and find AI elements, but I might just be getting too paranoid. Lots of fun little moments in this, but ultimately disappointing. More Godzilla next time, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of times I've wanted to do that with unruly children and their shitty parents in public places... Never thought a monsterverse movie would be the one that truly understands me.

kaijukurt Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Fun times with the monsters (the apes are the MVPs!) and the human cast is serviceable but I found the climax so rushed that it doesn't do the set-up/stakes justice IMO. Just as it starts ramping up, the movie starts sprinting towards wrapping it up as well. For comparison, the climaxes of G14-KOTM-GvK all felt like these massive setpieces/mini-movies in themselves: San Francisco-Boston-the extended Hong Kong battle. While in GXK: The Hollow Earth gravity battle and Skar King finally making it to the surface world feels like the 2nd act culmination/lead in to a sprawling 3rd act, but the Rio battle was surprisingly short for me. I can't help but think of when the MUTOs/Ghidorah/MechaG all had their moments of "victory"/putting up a challenge for our heroes. But enough of that, I'd also like to think of what I did enjoy: - various monsters battles sprinkled throughout - the monsters getting to shine and showing their personalities - nice build up to Skar King! - Godzilla and Shimo have short and sweet roles, nothing new for the genre. Overall, I guess a 7/10 for me. (my rankings of the various Monsterverse movies are ever changing hahahaha) Edited March 30 by kaijukurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
