[@CommandoANG3L0]

I feel like Tim is too focused on everything being as interconnected as the MCU, crossovers don’t have to be as deeply engrained, it’s okay if Godzilla and Kong just walk up to each other now and then.

[@Spookymulder4tuna]

This is my main gripe with the MCU. Not everything has to follow that formula. It’s dumbed down people’s way of thinking about franchises and sequels now. As soon as people started saying Star Wars should be more like the MCU, that’s when I knew things were going south.

[@santamane6150]

I would be with him if the other movies were really good. They weren’t. Does anyone actually care about characters in other movies?

[@TeamEthicsDK]

I think it’s justified because that’s literally why this movie exists because everyone was trying to copy Marvel. So I think it’s fair to judge it by those standards if it’s not completely stand alone like for example Joker was. 😊

[@Spookymulder4tuna]

@@TeamEthicsDK Disagree. Were they copying the MCU in 1962?

[@JonathanJuan]

I actually agree with him because part of the worst parts of these movies are the human characters, and that’s mostly because we have to keep setting up whole new casts of characters every movie. In the very least, making them interconnected would let us just dive right into the action.

[@TheMiloDavis]

I don't understand what Tim is trying to say. Man is too caught up in MCU shit I swear

[@austinkeller7171]

It feels like he ripped a bong a couple too many before he watched this.

[@brauliochicken]

I agree the human plots have been dumb in all the monsterverse movies. I personally don't care how interconnected they are. The monster fights are what people come to see and in that aspect they delivered with this movie.

[@deathtone1614]

Love the call back Kevin did about “he wasn’t from skull island he migrated there.”

[@OMGLX]

Bless you, Kevin. If I knew the words "No, his family EMIGRATED to Skull Island. They're from the HOLE." were about to leave my body, I would have immediately died laughing. 🤣

[@renegadewolf3633]

This is exactly what I wanted out this movie. Godzilla FTW! Loved how Ghidorah mechagodzilla tried to get Godzilla back with the same move from the last movie. I like that this could be an end to the franchise, but also gave an opportunity to explore more if they want. This purely is a popcorn movie and that's what I expected it to be.

[@brandonbaillie971]

As a Canadian who survived the Godzilla Saskatchewan Rampage of '04, i'm glad this isn't available to us. Luckily I managed to watch it on youtube and have been riding the PTGD (post traumatic Godzilla disorder) ever since.

Haven't watched all of this episode yet but I get the feeling that Greg's negativity towards anything thats action based has rubbed off on these guys as the in review series has gone on

[@Garotte14]

I don’t know. Seemed pretty accurate to me. The movie is a 7/10. It’s fine. Above average. Great action and set pieces. Awful plot and writing, and really poor acting from some main characters. Skull island had a much better plot with way better writing and acting. It’s a better all-around movie even if you like GvK more.

[@DoubleDere2k8]

Also, my comment from the other day. Was actually written in my sleep 😂😂 I must of fell asleep listening to this and rolled my face on to my phone and somehow wrote a comment. Just thought you should all know 😂😂👍🏻

[@ToastyBunsMcGee]

This movie is so ridiculous that I actually thought they were about to shake hands at the end. I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit and I think them embracing the pure insanity of this works in its favor quite a bit.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

It's a Godzilla movie it's always been ridiculous. Watch a mid 60s early 70s Godzilla movie

[@matsuoka9559]

LMAOOO same bro. at the end there was definitely a part of me that thought they were just gonna straight up shake hands and peace out lololol

[@Chibbery05]

Greg's rants are always epic, and nonsensical, and yet make so much sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HypeVectorPrime]

In what way was anything about this movie restrained? We get space ships following Kong to the center of the earth where he sucks a dragon head, finds a god level throne room, and activates a mythological weapon made from Godzilla's dead grandpa. Then we get Kong and Godzilla having the single most hype battle in cinematic history. And then we get not only Mechagodzilla, but Mechagodzilla piloted by king Ghidora's crystal skulls.... Tim... what the fuck does it take to please you? This was genuinely the coolest thing ever.

[@War624]

"But it's not as cohesive as the MCU. Boohoo." Lol

[@mexicanadian0846]

If it's not as stupid as being invincible because of cars and family or as interconnected as teasing 5 movies ahead of it's self like MCU then it's not good in any way. Sometimes I think the only one who is consistent in these is Nick and Greg. Everyone else is just a bad day away from thinking everything is amazing or terrible.

[@curtbraden7]

I LOVED this movie. I could not believe when Greg and Andy were like “watched it once, no desire to watch it ever again.” I saw it in the theater, and had a blast. Yes, it’s dumb. But it’s so entertaining!

Tim just wants everything to be the MCU when it comes to franchises of somewhat connected films. Yet when they are MCU like connections, he complains about it. What do you even like Tim?

This is why DC was in such a rush to take down the SynderVerse... to match the MCU tone smh just let the MCU be where it’s at.

[@TheRageCritics]

Just wanna take this time to say how much I love Greg. Tim seemed really over this in review and a little upset with some of the shots he was getting from the rest of the guys especially at the end and Greg just kills any tension with his hilarious naked under water questions. You are the best Greg! 😂

[@ProfD277]

Jumping right in here to say, Tim isn't thinking straight. Why are we doing Ball of Fury to fill the Mortal Kombat hole, when there is a legit good Mortal Kombat animated movie we can watch?! This makes no sense to me. Please explain Tim!

why were the words "Ashton Kutcher" muttered by Greg the absolute funniest thing in this entire review?! lmfao

[@joshthompson7936]

Im certain that half an hour of this film was cut out either in editing or abandoned before post production to get it down to a solid hour and a half. Most likely stuff involving monarch seeing as Lance Reddick and Kyle Chandler are in the opening credits yet only show up in two very short scenes.

[@LowSkillPlays]

man the comment section is ridiculous. Tim wanting the movies to follow the plotlines that they set forth more faithfully is a valid criticism, especially since that is the kinda universe they were presenting when making these movies. and he still enjoyed the film! yall take one point of critique and act like someone's entire opinion is just that. also people bringing up that its "just a popcorn flick" what exactly do you think the MCU is? there are great popcorn flicks, good ones, ok ones and bad ones. This probably sits around the good-ok range but theres nothing wrong with wanting more than that.

[@kindafunny]

Thank you. - Tim

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

I feel like these movies are all microwave entertainment, where you watch it the first time and your expectations are exceeded, but the more times you return to it, the films goodwill degrades.

[@MoonDoggie82]

I like that Nick calls the pilot of Mecca Godzilla pilot, he does know that the character is Ren Serizawa the son of Ken Watanabe's Dr. Ishirō Serizawa from Godzilla: King of Monsters right?

[@Abefroman3]

Lol Kevin so pissed this isn’t No1 😂

[@War624]

Ya'll need to stop expecting every franchise to be the MCU. Hell, a lot of the MCU films aren't even that good, regardless of well connected everything is. Kevin was clearly in the right about shit like Charles Dance's group from KotM procuring Ghidorah's head for Apex. Sure, they could've had a line in there, with the CEO of Apex explaining that, but they didn't, and it doesn't matter. Yeah, there are too many humans, but that's every monster movie. If you want actually good stories in your Godzilla films, then there's only a couple to really recommend. The original 1954 film, and 2016's Shin Godzilla, from Hideaki Anno, the Evangelion creator). Most of the Godzilla franchise is just dumb fun, with a surprising amount of heart. Why can't it just stay that way? And to answer Kevin, Godzilla only went after Kong, because Kong is another Alpha level Titan, like he is. The scientist literally said that before they moved Kong off of Skull Island.

[@LeonNeith8965]

The way people are so warped around the idea of connected universes is sooooo dangerous. People aren't realising that studios are now just implementing the television formula which is a financial bombshell for them because they just now charge people more to watch episodes of a tv show and call it a 'connected universe'. And it doesn't matter how bad a movie is, because in a 'connected universe' they always promise for the future and it's all apparent set up (which never really is) to suck people in for sequels that also promise for the future and consists of even more set up.

[@marshall6113]

Went to see this at the theatre last night (in NZ, I'm safe). I wouldn't want to watch this on a small screen, it would be a completely different experience. It wasn't a fantastic movie, but it was great as a dumb cinema experience. Edit: A prequel to this movie would be great where it shows Godzilla and Kong going through the March madness bracket of Kaiju!

[@lancerloco]

Can we all just agree that seeing Kong dropkick Godzilla through a building was one of the greatest moments in movie history? Wasn't this a thing that happened in the original Godzilla vs. Kong movie? Along with Godzilla (actually) laughing at Kong, after he got em with his atomic breath? Talk about the disrespect #home

[@Dannyjedge]

That junkie XL version of the Godzilla theme was so fucking hype. I saw it in a theater w Dolby atmos and it was incredible to listen to. This movie is stupid but it’s also titled “Godzilla V Kong” so i think it should be stupid. I absolutely loved it. But you could have deleted the entire millie brown plotline and it would be better

This movie was tons of fun. It had so much style helped with its beautiful lighting and cinematography. While the characters are admittedly not great, the group of scientists with the young girl were by far the best because of the emotional connection to Kong. Putting much more of the focus on Kong was also a great decision. Undoubtedly best of the series.

Am I insane? They talk about how good the fight scenes are in King of the monsters and regular Godzilla...but there like...aren’t any in KotM!? Every time they’re about to fight...it cuts away. Or covers it up. I’ll never forget the money I realized this and how egregious it was was when Godzilla comes back after getting the nuke refresh, and goes to face Ghidorah again, and JUST as they clash...a plane descend covering them from our view. There’s very very little of any actual fighting you see between Godzilla and other monsters in the other movies. This one actually delivers that and actually has them have WAY more screen time than the other movies combined. Easily the best of the movies for what I’m looking for. Godzilla fighting Kong. I mean this movie should be 1 jut for the scene where Godzilla gets on all fours and just goes crazy on Kong.

The CGI is obviously better in the new movies, but most of the older movies were about the monsters and the humans had no back story (obviously not the Kong movies). If they are going to reboot this series, do something with these actors. There were so many moments I wanted to fast forward because I hate the humans.
