Godzilla x Kong The New Empire In Review - Every Monsterverse Movie Ranked & Recapped

new #1 on my list. This movie gave me endless minutes where i heard no words and just roars. So much fun, & mothra?!!! Amazing

Nobody is giving Tim any hype back. What happened to having fun in the theatre😞😞. Tim I absolutely loved it and was so hyped at so many moments.

[@Jamesonfp]

it was unfortunate, however, this was one of the most funniest in-review ive seen. absolutely loved it

Shout out to Tim for being hype about the movie and the only one seemingly taking the episode seriously. Points to him for actually talking about what happened in the movie.

Is no one going to mention the extremely SMOOTH camera transition to the ad at 24:09??

[@furrybproductions]

That match cut was sick AF!

[@xvizion]

Still a shame 2014 is so low, its ana actual movie with an artistic vision and goal that it nailed and hasn't been touched since in this universe. It made the monster feel like monsters not giant action figures. It and Skull Island are the only movies that actually had a vision and something to say other than, big monsters destroy things. KoM at least did that in an artistic way as some of those shots from that movie are still top tier in the franchise.

[@LITTLEFOOT918]

You know there was a point in history where the tone of Godzilla changed to appeal to a younger demographic. It leaned fairly heavily on the goof and toy perspective because they also wanted to sell merch. The movies made along that era were hit or miss, mostly miss, but still kept the Godzilla charm. If anything that's what these current monsterverse movies feel like and it's actually working all things considered. I'm in my 30s. I loved the tones of 2014 Godzilla and Minus One made me utterly emotional and invested in all characters including Godzilla. GxK makes me feel like a kid again. I was smiling, and having fun. Kids are also going to experience that emotion, and that's a good thing. That keeps the franchise going. It has to inspire a younger generation to live on.

[@lex_rodriguez]

Bruh, you talking out ofnur ass fr. Each film's director approached their respective film with the same amount of artistic vision. 2014 being boring as fuck and more serious doesn't mean it's better or more artistic.

Agreed that Skull Island actually having great cinematography is why it should be high on the ranking list but insane to also have Godzilla 2014 at the bottom of the list when it easily looks the best visually. Only 3 of these things actually look like movies.

It’s really funny to see Tim still kinda champion Emile Hirsch over Speed Racer. For those that are in the know, we all know Emile is latching on to that fandom as it’s all he has left for good reason. Also this movie was okay, I just wish there was no humans. Make it 80-minutes.

Asked why can't these movies be more like fast & furious, I ask why can't you guys use the same critical eye on this as you do on that? This movie wasn't great, it wasn't minus one, but it wasn't supposed to be. It was fun. And yes, I know Tim did look at it that way,good on him.

Using a critical eye, in Monarch, they basically say if you go to hollow earth, time moves slower than on the surface. Wyatt is the same age when he comes back, and everyone around him has aged drastically. This movie completely ignores that. They’re jumping in and out and there’s no time dilation. Still really enjoyed it for what it was, a good popcorn flick. But it doesn’t even respect the rules its own universe laid out.

I watched this movie after the in review because i didnt have plans on seeing it and I enjoyed it buuuut everyone's criticizing is 100% valid. Bryan Tyree Henry was a waste, Rebecca Hall is winning the award for exposition as it's happening, Trapper was great. They try to make you care about Jia but you dont. Greg is right and this is barely a Godzilla movie. The end fight was cool, but I wish they stopped showing the people, idc about them, just keep with the fighting. I could go on lol

[@marklindsey6175]

Best 1. Skull Island 2. Godzilla King of Monsters 3. GvK 4. Godzilla 5. GxK Although I would say GvK is best for 4k demo purposes and has great rewatchability!

[@kidunderabridge]

Love this list, but would change 2 and 3. GvK was more enjoyable for me. But both movies have that scale that I love.

[@eatsleepgames1693]

Thank you greg for having me in straight tears laughing so hard on the elliptical at my gym causing everyone to stare at me lol

I'm with Tim on this. Loved it and honestly, best way to experience it is 4DX.

[@crimsonxxspawn8613]

Tim is the audience score and enjoys the film based on the entertainment. The rest of the crew is the critic score and analyze the snot out of the film. I gotta give my respects for Tim not changing his mind and sticking to it.

[@kidunderabridge]

Disagree. Some people just like different things. I am a sucker for giant monsters fighting. Like Pacific Rim is one of my favorite movies. These Godzilla movies have been meh for me. And as much as this one has more kaiju stuff, it just had so little scale, impact, and sense. Weakest entry for me as well. I think people are just different because their opinions on the entire franchise I line up more with the rest of the crew and I disagree wholeheartedly with Tim's takes.

[@geoafe66]

I loved how honest you guys were lol

[@CheefChaos]

For real, the trailer looked like dog shit. I won't hate on people having fun with the franchise but if I'm going to the movies right now it's* to see Dune 2 again.

[@kidunderabridge]

There's a lot of Greg's views I agree with. I myself also do not like Hollowearth at all. It takes away the scale from the movies. Watching Kong vs Godzilla again last night and I realized why I like that one more, even though the story loopholes and coincidences were worse in that one. The impact and scale of whenever Kong and Zilla are fighting is sooo good. I didn't feel that with this one. Additionally, they are taking away Godzilla's character. He is just a ball of instinct. They are doing a good job with Kong, I like what they are doing with Kong, but I hate what they are doing with arguably the titular character. And I agree. Call these movies Kong movies - Godzilla is not the protagonist in these movies. He is a foil and a Rival more than anything in these movies. Just call these movies - Kong vs Godzilla, and Kong: New Empire ft. Godzilla. Some things I liked about the movie, but very little. I actually think King of Monsters was a better movie than this one.

[@UnableToLoadUsername]

I agree with Greg, do not care about Kong and yet for these movies, he becomes central and also Hollow Earth is not interesting.

[@DunceHouse]

This was my favorite Monsterverse movie! So much stupid action I LOVE IT!

[@cultofskaro]

I love all of these in review episodes, but it does feel like Greg’s inclusion has recently become more and more hit and miss. If it’s something he already likes, he’s 100% in and not clearly isn’t as objective about it. If it’s not something he generally cares about (namely action, something he has repeatedly stated), he just seems disinterested and distracted (lots of points where he’s just looking at his computer or giving short “I didn’t like it” statements/not engaging in conversation). I don’t want him replaced or anything, it’s just a shame when he signs on for franchises he’s clearly not going to give a fair shot due to it not being his thing. It’d be like if Andy was actually on the conjuring universe reviews, and he was always not giving passionate or fair reviews because “oh horrors not my thing.” Glad the monsterverse got its review series, but i think kinda funny has a big enough collection of people that future series they review should involve people actually interested in the series’ they cover (no one would complain with more Mike, Blessing or Barrett on in review, either).

[@Amouroso]

I would agree if I actually cared about their opinions. I watch this thing to hear them shoot the shit, talk about the plot, for Nick and Greg to go on a tangent, for Andy to get annoyed etc. They could have a totally categorically incorrect take and I wouldn’t care because I don’t come here for that

[@realrobrose]

[@langleymneely]

You can’t be “objective” about art. It’s only subjective, and based on lived experience and taste. His not hitting the way you want it to is not a bug it’s a feature. It’s all about their subjective perception and how it might differ from one another, period.

[@Mrs.Garrison69]

The issue is you can’t really pick a favorite, non of these movies are good, there just pretty to look at, and it’s what do YOU like looking at more. Godzilla Vs Kong is not nearly as visually satisfying as KOTM, and KOTM does much better at not breaking the pre established rules, GVK completely ambulates any rules they had set up.

I miss Gareth Edwards' sense of scale. I miss the sense of dread when these monsters appeared . I miss the heaviness of their movements and the impact of their blows. This is just Pacific Rim 2, a travesty of a movie

Ya, the whole 2 times the monster weee on screen in 2015, remember when the were at the Hawaii airport, awesome shot of Godzilla and the muto, full dynamic 2:4:0 shot, that we cut away after five seconds. He made the monsters feel big, but when he’s not doing anything cool with them, or the human characters, or really anything in that movie expect for the last five minutes is exciting. That movie is considerably boring, so boring, I believe that was everyone’s 3rd complaint, right after they killed the most interesting character that has ever been in the franchise, and that they didn’t use Godzilla correctly and made him feel like a cheap VFX.😂 your pathetic if you enjoy that movie, that or retarded

[@NavAK_86]

Fun fact: The director of Minus One tweeted out a photo with Steven Spielberg who told him that he loved the film and literally watched it 3 times. You guys have to rank it amongst the Monsterverse even if it's not part of the universe. It will make these rankings more varied, you can throw in Zilla '98 and Peter Jackson's Kong in it too to even it out.

I have never disagreed with you guys more about something. I was just thinking of it: i will never watch anything Marvel Phase 4 and beyond aside from what I've seen already (i don't care and moon knight sealed that deal for me), MI is great and fun (except 3, i turned out of after 20 mins i was so bored), i only like Fast 1 and 2 everything after that is dumb and i hate every character, i only count GB 1 and 2 as in the series (i hated the new one and refuse to watch the other 2 because i don't care). This i think 2014 is okay (i actually don't care about the dad I've never been a fan of his really), Kong is okay and fun, KOTM i still haven't seen, but GvK and GxK are some much damn fun. GvK is actually in my top 10 movies i love it so much and GxK was a fucking blast. I was laughing and giddy nearly the whole time. Would have been even more hype but i was exhausted from lack of sleep, but i still had a blast watching it. I can't wait to see it again when it's on dvd which i will buy.
