1. Ignores the movie's opening that expresses Kong's longing for others of his kind in Hollow Earth. 2. Yes, the tooth subplot introduces a main character. But it also shows Kong's trust in humans and their symbiotic relationship. Skar king uses the tooth to make fun and outcast Kong in Hollow Earth. 3. Haircuts are part of your criticism? 4. They called in a veterinarian who has experience with these titans to help take care of Kong, who did you want them to call? 5. Kong has bonded with Jia. I doubt Kong would be willing to talk to just anybody who knows sign language. 6. Ignores Jia telling her newly adopted mom how she doesn't fit in in her new life- which leads into her mom suspecting she'd want to stay in Hollow Earth where she is shown to be fitting in. 7. Kong and Suko kill and eat food together? You meant to say Suko shows off his intellect by attempting to kill Kong and get away, but Kong constantly overcomes and attempts to build trust with him. And at this point this wasn't even shown purely to build a relationship, Kong used Suko to find his way to others of his kind. You're really nitpicking for criticisms here and shielding it with the "I love the old goofy Godzilla movies, but this is too far" trope.

[@nicolestimothy9921]

1. When I watch back, I have sympathy to Kong as he is wonder the Hollow Earth alone hoping to find his kind somewhere in the hills and valleys. 2. Kong find Suko and forced him to find the leader of the apes that ambush him and Suko truly used his mischift to trick Kong and ran away. What makes me intresting is how Kong not abused Suko once he fought the serpent he just like "Go Boy". Yes he did "abused" Suko as a melee weapon once. But it begins to show Suko looked Kong as a great father he wants. 3. Skar King displays many reference when I watch, he is Lord Shen and Koba. Ruthless and violent dictator to the other kong species. 4. Dr Andrews and Jia had a good bond and understand Jia could not fit in with the modern world. Trapper even advice to Bernie where want to share with the world to fix his reputation, its better let the Iwi lived their ways and never expose it. What happend to the people of Skull Island is because of humans from the outside world came in like APEX building their station and Monarch. Causing their people extincion left Jia witch include Ghidorah storm and Kamazos. Worst, world governments wanted to take over Hollow Earth and the multibillion cooperations to exploit Hollow Earth resources like in the comics Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted where Raymond hunt small titans as their trophy. The movie has good topic if you can listen their conversation or the titans body language and expresion. While Planet of the Apes have conversation like humans or Disney's Lion King remake using real animals but has no facial expression. This has a right tone that using body language and facial expresion without dialogs and its up to us the audience to understand it. As a bonus point from me, some scene has a meme potencial too. 😂

The legendary movies on is the right consistent between the movies and that is answered with the second one consistency, they changed our path. but if you like the things that happen in the 2014 Godzilla, you have something even better with minus one and those movies that will continue and also shin Godzilla.

[@barstool9156]

But a “dumb popcorn flick to watch with your friends” does not mean it has to be a “bad” movie. Would you consider Kung Fu Panda as something to watch with friends. I would, and the fact of the matter is that while the premise is inherently dumb (That being about a Panda learning Kung Fu) the movie is treated with respect and people put work in to it so as to make it both compelling visually, and narratively. What did Godzilla 2014 do? It gave respect to Godzilla and made him a force of Nature. They made it so that while Godzilla is a result of Nuclear Testing, the Muto were the result of Strip Mining, and arguably worse industry. They gave the creature weight, and while we were blue balled for the majority of the film, when the King finally showed up, it was amazing. Kong Skull Island. Payed Homage to the original King Kong while also reinventing old ideas and making them work within the new “Monsterverse”. They respected not only the history of Kong, but his character, and from there, they also respected the characters in the film, which is the best character wise. I was actually cheering for each and every one of them. Godzilla King of the Monsters. Each major monster gets at least one scene to show off just how cool, awesome, and otherwise, amazing they were. Mothra got the Waterfall, Cloudburst, and Sacrifice. Rodan had his Dogfight. Ghidorah had his many fights with Godzilla and his Alpha Call, while Godzilla had his Fights with Ghidorah, and his Burning form. Each time, they payed homage to the past, while respecting the monsters as they are now. Furthermore, they also respected the characters within the film, whether they were good or not. Serizawa and his sacrifice was one of the best scenes ever, not because it was beautiful or cool looking, or any number of things that it was and wasn’t. The scene was great because it showed a man coming to peace with his demons, while respecting the power that had come from it. GvK My least Favorite film out of the ones listed, yet I can still respect it. King and Godzilla are given a good match that does not feel like a cop out. While Mecha goes down a bit to easily and a bit to quick for my taste, I can understand why. Otherwise, they did a decent job with the monsters. GxK. What does it do to respect what came before and what is to come. Did it treat the monsters less like action heroes, and more like forces of nature and characters with their own desires and wants. Was there some grand standing, greater implication for the rest of the universe. Did it do anything to progress the story. No

[@barstool9156]

@@thedukeofchutney468 but Monsterverse is not just any part of the franchise, is it? Everything single film bar GxK at minimum did something that portrayed the Monsters in a way that was “respectful” (I use the word loosely as it’s the closes synonym for what I am trying to say) to what the monsters were. These characters do have a history. Should we pay no mind to those histories, and leave them to fall back into random fan cults and theorists. How many Americans before 2014 had seen a Godzilla Movie. How many of those had seen a Japanese Godzilla film. Should we ignore the history of Godzilla in favor of making a “more appealing film” that fits a more American narrative. Should we have Godzilla look more like a Dinosaur and run from the military. We get what Tristar made when we don’t try to “respect” or even acknowledge the past. If we treat the character as separate from where they came from, how can we expect the character to remain what makes them “them”? You might say that the film being campy was the best way to ode to the past, but I would argue that GvK and KotMs did a much better job at that. Skull Island did a great job too as it brought forward “Skull Island” and other ideas, characterizations, and elements from the previous films.

Unlike Doktor Skipper, this guy actually provided evidence that wasn’t just “AmErIcA dOeSnT uNdErStAnD gOdZiLlA” and go on about how Godzilla is specifically meant to be a villain (obviously not true) But none of that at all excuses this film from being complete slop in comparison to the prior films. Just because someone doesn’t want a film to be utter slop, doesn’t mean they want it to be a masterpiece. All you’re doing is creating a massive false dichotomy. If you actually watched the video, you’d see that this guy genuinely liked GvK, as did I, and that’s because that movie was genuinely good even if it was fun and a little silly at times. GxK just feels like it was forced into the MonsterVerse timeline, and none of it even remotely feels important at all. Plus, it doesn’t help that the CGI was pretty rough at times which breaks the immersion completely.

Aaaannnnd it being stupid is a problem why? Is entertainment not allowed to... ya know... entertain? Because even if it's nonsensical, it's still fun. Genuinely, I've never felt this much like a kid watching a kaiju movie since Godzilla King Of The Monsters 5 years ago. And frankly, it's a feeling that has been sorely missed. Frankly, this coming out almost immediately after Godzilla Minus One is a testament to how well loved and just how versatile Godzilla and kaiju in general has been. Both films were birthed out of a passion for the character and a love for the Showa Era, but take two completely different approaches. And frankly, I love it. Also, sidenote, since Godzilla x Kong is more of a Kong focused movie, it's more in line with King Kong than it is with Godzilla, serving as a fun romp for people to get away from their struggles. I.E.: Escapism. Ya ever watch any of the King Kong Tv Shows or King Kong Escapes? This is more in line with that.

I left this on other posts but For me personally I’d give the movie a 6/10. I still enjoyed it and the fights were pretty cool to watch but it feels like it takes the issues of GvK and kinda amplifies them by a ton. Human characters aside from Jia feel like plot devices to push the story forward, the movie is incredibly fast paced so there isn’t a lot of time to savor a lot of moments, vfx wise while not terrible feels somewhat like a downgrade to what we got previously, and godzilla doesn’t really get as much development as Kong does in this film. Huge issue is that I think they leaned into their showa roots a little too much in this movie Imao. Imo the whole Showa vibe just doesn’t really work with the MV when u look at how it started vs how it’s going. I don’t mind dumb fun but I think they went a little overboard with this film lol. I think if they leaned into their heisei roots kinda like how Kotm did I think it would’ve been a little better.

If you didn’t like the movie it’s a skill issue on your end. “No character to attach yourself to” my dude Kong is the character to get attached to.

This both pays homage to old kaiju films but also solidifies itself as an example of modern spectacle done right. You did not make a single valid critique in the first half all the way to the ad break, instead talking about how you didn’t like effects or thought the giant monsters didn’t look realistic. You want realism? In a kaiju movie set in the gravity weird hollow earth? You are a pretty bad critic if you mean that XD.

But the girl then then tells them they’re close so they go on instead. Did he need to die no, was it dumb they continue on yeah. 6 they attack Godzilla: I mean he is going for a nuclear plant and it’s unclear what a giant kaiju plans to do. But once they figure out he’s absorbing it they just monitor what’s he’s doing/where’s he’s going.

I was right. I walked out of that theater smiling with every cell in my body. Each cell grew a set of teeth, a jaw, and the necessary muscles to form a fucking smile. That movie was absolutely amazing. Kong searching for, and finding a home and a family. Jia mirroring that, but realizing she already has those. Godzilla keeping the balance and being a menace. Mothra bein a boss ass bitch. Shimo enslaved and freed. Suko growing and realizing he can fight for a better life. . I literally just got home, so I still might be flying high on endorphins… but the only problem I had, and it’s not even THAT big of a problem: Skar came and went a bit too quickly, and didn’t seem like all that much of a threat aside from controlling Shimo. . I love how the humans only showed up when it was essential to the MONSTER DRIVEN plot. These aren’t just animals, they’re characters. You can see them think, feel, and act. You can see character growth in them. This is the Godzilla movie I’ve always wanted. Though it was more a Kong movie than a Godzilla one, but you get the point.

This film had a smaller budget than the prequels. Probably the smallest in the entire franchise so far. But it made a lot in the box office that it's approaching 2014 and 2017. Impressive.

[@therandomsaiyajin]

“Nothing matters” *Shimo if she and Skar were to win the war would trigger another ice age where humanity wouldn’t be ready and they would go extinct and Skar would likely cause the other titans to be killed off by Shimo* Riiiiiight. Oh and you saying this film is bad when GvK was awful due to MG just being shoehorned into the plot when the plot could of been simple with Godzilla sensing kong due to the storm destroying skull island and forcing the humans to move him and they catch wind of hollow earths existence so they try sending him there and Godzilla proceeds to still hunt him down due to Kong being one of the few last awake alpha level titans Btw as for the whole tooth ache thing, how does that even ‘waste time’ when it’s just a side thing. It’s just a bit of a unique thing for this film. It’s like random dialogue characters have. Is random dialogue about a future thing really that bad? Is the tooth ache kong had really that much of a gripe? Meanwhile as well at the end when Kong keeps Skar from getting the Crystal he bites Skar with the side of the teeth that had the metal tooth. That really helped out in terms of that scene too since as we all know, metal that’s sharp like that REALLY HURTS lol. So I’m sorry but already your points are stupid, and the fact you said you defended GVK and yet you call out this film which obviously isn’t taking itself seriously and actually has better character development then GVK is shocking.

[@Ki_Adi_Mundi]

The people fawning over this movie and saying you shouldn't expect it to be as good as Minus One have the same exact energy as all those game "journalists" saying you shouldn't expect Baldur's Gate 3 quality from AAA games in the future.

[@OrthoLou]

I don't play video games, so I don't get the reference, but this movie has a silly tone, and you shouldn't expect it to be the same level as Minus One! 😉

[@Ki_Adi_Mundi]

@@OrthoLou Oh I don't, but that's used as an excuse for it's quality. I just don't prescribe to the "shut your brain off to enjoy it" style approach to movies. Things like that should be able to justify their own existence beyond: "makes money." And most don't even do that.

[@cmendr011]

well to be fair when they duped us the first time by making it look like brian cranston Vs Godzilla and then he dies 20 minutes in, all prospects for a serious compelling godzilla story from the human angle went out the door after that. SO I think if you went into it thinking it was gonna be this game changer I think that's just being naive this far into this Legendary franchise. But we got cool scenes like the Halo jump which i'd argue are some of the best in any movie. And all the Hollow earth scenes were awsome, I love the expansion. Outer earth, hollow earth, subterranean earth, and other hidden places gives room for more stories.

[@Badboy25251]

Baldurs gate 3 quality? You mean a near broken third act, large day 1 patches to fix the game, many broken promises and things that were advertised that were never put in the game? Please don't act like baldurs gate 3 was some quality game.

American Godzilla is taking the goofy fun late Showa-esque bullshit route, with the plots getting increasingly ridiculous. Japanese Godzilla has gone back to angry nuclear harbinger of destruction, effectively a metaphor for the Hiroshima nuke like 1954 was. What Gojira was originally intended to be.
