@Random Platypus with Internet camazotz, is the bat Titan your thinking of in a comic somehow it “lured” ghedorias storm. Which btw in the comic still existed AFTER his defeat. How a bat Titan could control the storm I have no idea. It wasn’t like Camazotz had any electrical powers jusy bladed wings and sonic roars

I loved this movie - it felt like they had real affection for both American and Japanese Kaiju.

[@giovannidimaggio7961]

It also felt like they were able to make an updated version of the original Godzilla movies and nail all the parts that made them lovable.

[@White6Rock6Shooter6]

The Monsterverse is ful of people who adore Kaiju as a whole, ever since I saw Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah, Im convinced these are the right people to give us giant monster fights while still paying tribute. Multiple aspects of Mechagodzilla were lifted from various iterations across his Japanese film runs. It really does feel good to see people finally loving the giant monster fights.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

The axe wasn’t even enough. It was just a plot tool to delay Kong’s inevitable defeat. Adam Wingard confirmed the fight was one-sided from the start.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

This was the first movie I saw in a theatre after the pandemic started and as a lifelong fan of Godzilla and Kong I absolutely loved this movie. It really felt like a classic Toho kaiju film with badass fights, and a ridiculous plot that works in all the right ways. I love how this movie pretty much had Kong as the protagonist plus they really gave us a definitive winner which I applaude the film for doing. Plus I kinda hope this will have you go back and actually look at King Kong more. Great review!

[@ProjectSudoku]

I had the exact same experience!

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

People have accepted that realistically, there's no way Godzilla could ever lose the fight😆 they had to give Kong a battle axe to even the playing field a bit( this isn't Kong hate, love Kong)

[@JR28.]

Same here, it was the first movie I saw in cinemas in about 2 years... what an experience I must say, the cinema was extra loud and extra dark so it was definitely an awesome experience that I enjoyed thoroughly.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

@@animezilla4486 that's hard to say cause I loved the whole movie. When it comes to the action I loved when Godzilla went feral on Kong in the Hong Kong fight or when Kong dismembered Mechagodzilla. Other than that I loved the hollow earth sequence and the ending scene between Kong and Jia because it really feels like Kong finally gets a happy ending after nearly a century of tragedy

This movie does have a drastically different version out there somewhere. They did cut a lot of it out and did some quick reshoots too. Hopefully one day we can see that original cut. I still have a lot of fun with this movie though.

[@MrStath1986]

I thought they kinda already did 'space' in terms of origins for the monsters? That was one of the things that made Ghidorah's presence so bad, that it wasn't of this Earth and basically upset the natural order of things.

[@ianprice1744]

Legendary Gigan. I love that idea. Plus, it's the only one that makes sense since Mothra died and can't take Godzilla's cells into space to make a SpaceGodzilla.

[@baronsengir187]

I personally like it very much that the movies got progressively more kaiju and fun. It is not a serious premise to begin with so i applaud them for going all in.

[@Zeddyboi86]

This was the most exciting experience I'd had in a movie theater since Avengers: Endgame.

[@tomsawyerpiper9412]

Gotta hand it to special effects team, they certainly gave it their all to provide a spectacle. As for me, King Kong vs Godzilla is a quintessential kaiju beat down movie in every way. The monsters have paper thin excuses for why and how they get to where they need to be for the plot’s sake. Akin to most kaiju films, the human elements of the story exist more so to fill in exposition and give a vague sense of urgency to the events happening around them, rather than be compelling subplots to the main event. As for that main event, King Kong vs Godzilla does not disappoint. The action shots are well composed, lighted, and choreographed and make for excellent popcorn entertainment. King Kong vs Godzilla is three, kick-ass kaiju killing battle-axes, outta five. The film easily could’ve made a four outta five if it weren’t for the lackluster human filler between kaiju clashes.

[@Ch4oTiK]

Awesome review as always man, but I have to say..... Godzilla did own Kong. The "looks like Kong wins round 2" cut to literally 1 minute 21 or so seconds of human stuff, before cutting back to G standing up and Kong on the building. That 1m20s (ish) was basically Kong grabbing a crane and climbing that building before it cut back, the round never ended - that line was just a kind of bad/fun movie segue to cut from the fight to the humans. Not to mention the axe hitting G's face actually blew Kong backwards like 4 or 5+ city blocks and G just stumbles through a building and falls (I don't think the axe connected, I think the continuous stream of energy increasing exponentially due to Kong's trajectory overloaded it and it exploded point blank, otherwise G'd be pulling the axe out of his head like he did his leg - maybe not though, considering a feat of his looooooong past, I'll mention below but lets just say he has a very, very hard head). Anyway, "round 3" I guess, G beats Kong in like another 1 minute and maybe 5 seconds (less time than the cut from "round 2" was), easily. Soon as he gets that arm it was over - body slam, stomp attempt, another arm-grab and a toss using his mouth which sent Kong flying another 4 or 5+ city blocks (dislocating his arm when he got dragged before the throw as well) and then Feral quadruped G goes to town on Kong. Like, G basically had enough of his shit and it was over. Before that, he was laughing at Kong when he shot him out of the sky with his breath (yes, literally laughing). If G had a speck of malice towards Kong, he'd have vaporized him, not roared in his face to assert dominance. MVerse's G is not nice to his enemies and seemingly likes to decapitate them with some kind of force (same with Kong now that I think about it, maybe it's a Kaiju dominance thing when a kill is necessary). Have to understand, this is G not at his prime, but the "best he's ever been" in this universe according to the humans (his *prime* may be long past). G's been around for over 250 million years and he _tanked the damn extinction event meteor to the HEAD_ (that's the feat I alluded to above) - there's no way Kong is punching that hard. Not to mention Godzilla was eating nukes since 1950s Bikini Atoll "tests" which were actually attempts to kill him, not to mention eating an even stronger nuke while near death in KotM which, according to plan, only made him stronger (to clarify, the nuke energy/radiation made him stronger but he still tanked the concussive explosive vaporizing force point-blank, and this explosion completely dusted his entire underwater cave temple place). Compare this to 1970's (20 years after Bikini Atoll, during _Skull Island's_ events) Kong, who was almost burned to death by a pissed off Samuel L Jackson (and was cut open by a helicopter blade). There's supposedly word that blowing a hole to Hollow Earth drained G of half his strength (one of the writers or something said this) - some people deny that as true, but then imagine if a breath that size hit Kong. He's blanketed and dead, maybe with nothing left of him (the hole was big enough for him to climb through, after all, and none of the bedrock was displaced and piled anywhere, it was vaporized). Why wouldn't G just do that again if it costs him no energy or whatever (which would be odd, G doesn't have limitless energy). It also explains why Mecha was kicking his ass, when it's obvious Mecha G is essentially a glass cannon - stronger energy attacks than G, but the powered axe easily took off Mecha's limbs, while against G, it not only merely got stuck in his leg, but also whatever happened with the hit to the head, explosion or otherwise, which was enough force to, like I alluded to above, completely change Kong and all his weight's trajectory from flying through the air _down_ at G, to being sent the opposite direction multiple city blocks with enough force to skip across the ground a few times before hitting a building. Seriously re-watch the scene where Kong hits G in the head, it's almost comical how fast Kong leaves the screen via the explosion. Mecha had no chance against the axe. Pit Kong against Ghidorah. Hell, even Rodan. There's no reason Kong stands a chance, statistically. Kong is brave, but he is also young and dumb. Probably why G "spared" him (Kong was dying anyway) and just scoffed (yes, literally scoffed) before walking away - maybe with a lil' respect towards Kong. Edit ::: Way I see it, this fight was Spiderman (Kong) vs Hulk (G). Spiderman can dodge some of Hulk's blows, swing around things and hit him a few times, hell maybe even get a seriously high velocity multi-web-spring-loaded slingshot full body kick that hits Hulk with enough force to send him flying through a building or two before folding a semi in half and coming to a stop. Hulk will still get up, smack the dust off himself, and eventually catch hold of Spidey - and then Peter can kiss his ass goodbye if no mercy is involved, as the ragdolling shall henceforth commence. Ask Loki. Doesn't mean Spiderman isn't badass or anything.

The hollow earth stuff was hinted at in Kong Skull Island. They drop bombs from helicopters that create a deep seismic vibrations and there’s a line how the beneath the bedrock is all hollow. Then kong shows up and the movie really starts.

[@Dinoslay]

Kong was always the underdog against Godzilla. But that’s exactly what makes him relatable to us and the fights thrilling. Not every monster needs to be OP all the time to have attracting qualities to it. I also think the axe made a rather clever equalizer that gives him a chance to level the odds. Curious to see what they’ll do with part 2.

Character-wise, for me the film's biggest missed opportunity was having Serizawa's son and not giving him more depth than a drying puddle. He's the only one I wanted to know more about, whereas everyone else, as slim as their information was, said enough to understand fine.

The novelization fleshed him out. Also his death was much more Lovecraftian.

The containment facility while poorly explained, is actually meant to keep Kong safe from the storms that are swallowing skull Island. Gia's people were the ewi (I hope I'm spelling that right) and they all went extinct because of the storm.

He needs protection from a storm that’s dumb he’s lived on the island his whole life already surrounded bye a storm and he’s King Kong

Been waiting for this one decker.

Love your reviews! You are the man xo The cg was pretty dang good in this movie

[@kyle666man]

New to the channel. You got an INSTANT subscribe for the fancy “that’s a lot of fish.” If I was drinking something, it would have come out of my nose. 😂

[@SithChaplain]

Audible, "fuck yeah!". When I saw the upload!. Your a great channel best hair!

[@generalkrang7138]

If CNN reported on a Godzilla attack, they'd probably end up blaming institutional racism somehow

[@redpillfreedom6692]

If anything it's shocking they didn't call the attack "mostly peaceful."

[@evielovesu8042]

Personally, I don't care about this movie. I just love Decker's reviews. That is all.

[@ethal1222]

Is that T-shirt a Godzilla 1985 reference? If so, well done...

[@tyrongkojy]

"What did you think they were gonna do, take pictures?" I mean... yes, actually. Some basic research before using lasers to drill into the completely not understood potentially unstable and maybe explosive power source. I did in fact expect that, yes.

[@donovandelaney3171]

Godzilla vs Kong takes a lot of liberties with the Hollow Earth source material.

[@MrBlindsight1]

from a movie standpoint, I love that first News reel where there are 8 dead. If godzilla was out to murk humanity there would be a lot more than 8.

Me and my girlfriend tried to watch this movie when it first come out in a drive in movie theater, it wasn't very comfortable, the theater used really bad radios so you could barely hear anything, you couldn't really see the screen because of the car's roof and and cars in front of us and because the screen they put in cars that's always freaking on now a days so that was constantly shining in our face, oh, and her parents throw the kid they were supposed to babysit on us, so she was constantly either not comfortable, couldn't see, couldn't hear, wanted attention, didn't want to sit still, or had to go to the bathroom, and they had these huge speakers over the bathroom/concessions area, which was the only place you could hear them, and they were so long they were almost deafening. Long story short, me and her hate drive in movies now

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

I’ve been clamoring for Gigan since the 2014 movie. Let’s see it!!! Final Wars proved that he can look AWESOME.

[@metadude1234]

This movie had so much potential I'd be extremely curious to see what was up with Serizawa here, that name is too damn important for a literal nothing (screenwise). It feels like a whole bunch of stuff was either cut, or redone.

[@TSTD_Punisher]

the team up at the end made me feel like a 10 year old again. good shit

[@johnw8578]

Great review -- and yes, the movie was everything I wanted from a Kaiju movie.

In the escalation of absurdity and science fiction wonder in the future of the Monsterverse, when it continues in some form, we need Legendary Jet Jaguar and Captain Gordon commanding the Gotengo. You can even get Don Frye to reprise his role.

[@nick_4972]

The review we’ve all been waiting for…

[@Richterdgf]

How could you miss mentioning the Lethal Weapon reference where Kong pops his shoulder back into the socket by bashing it against a building? I think Lethal Weapon is even mentioned in the credits.

[@ziplockcreations2313]

Him crashing the car by grabbing the steering wheel would technically change the volume.
