Re King of the Monsters: I can understand basically all of the criticisms that people, who disliked the movie, have written here. Theyre completely valid. The film has a bad script, the fights are often a bit obscured and the rainy asthetic doesnt make it much better.

 

But for me (and many other Godzilla fans id say), it was just a pure dream come true to finally see Mothra, Rodan and especially King Ghidorah realized with a Hollywood budget. Every time i watch the monster scenes in the film i can completely overlook the movies flaws because im just happy that such a movie even exists in the first place.

I'm with you. I've been team Kotm since it first came out. I remember going into a depressive state while I was following its box office to the point of being physically ill. For a character that such a large impact on my life, childhood and now, the fact it didn't resonate with people at the box office broke my heart. But I realize, I have my own logically sound reasons to love the movie and no one can take that away. I personally don't get the complaint of obscured visuals when it's more clear than 2014 due to the color grading and compositing. I think the cinematography of the film was beautiful and made the monster scenes easy to follow. And even the commentary, for how surface level people may think it was, I believe was executed well. It's a shame future Monsterverse movies and shows are now retroactively ignoring Kotm probably because of its financial standing.

After the complete and utter disaster of The Rings of Power, id imagine Tolkien fans either are extremely sceptical now of anything Middle-Earth related that is coming out or maybe in the contrary, will strongly support this movie if its good ofc and respects the lore. I could see both happening.

On a seperate note the Rings of Power soundtrack is really the only thing about that show I unabashedly loved. Bear McCreary slaps and it's a sin that they never brought him back for the Monsterverse especially when we have Junkie XL making mediocre knockoff themes.

Kind of a bummer if it does. 
 

People will be talking about Dune 2 in 20 years. Pretty sure nobody will remember this Kong movie.

It’s supposed to be in the vein of Puss In Boots 2 / SpiderVerse. Not exactly the same aesthetic, but with similar distinctive approach compared to Disney / Pixar.
 

Still, my main point is that it doesn’t even need to be great to succeed, like The Hobbit. 
 

Still i have high hopes, the director is very good.

Is it? I thought it was an anime movie. Where it would like Demon Slayer or something. If it’s just Spider-Verse yet again, I lost a ton of interest tbh

Yeah that's what I thought. I don't think it's going to be a huge hit akin to the other lord of the rings movies

It more or less confirmed what I suspected about it being a TV project being promoted to a theatrical release so Warner can keep the rights

It’s an anime movie, you’re right. Hand drawn and all. 
 

Now i gain a ton of interest haha, I could swear i read it was just stylized 3D somewhere, but it’s not

Because it'd be cool and plenty of the biggest children animated hits are musicals. But I guess that isn't the market for this.

I don’t think Furiosa bombs but it’s gonna be lower than Fall Guy, Apes, and Garfield IMO. If WOM is strong it can have a leggy run.
