@@niuhooperparent awe man I knew they were going to trade a few blows but a whole FIGHT?! When Goji did that I was like no f-ing way! Lmao. Total Showa era vibes, my inner child couldn’t contain myself. What surprised me was kong KNOCKING OUT Goji for a little bit. I was like whaaaat? No way. Some due in the theater who was obviously a Kong fan went crazy as if like a get back from GvK lol

@@wellfelix7883 honestly, I think them making the MV more WWE is box office gold. They just need to add in some more attitude era in there and we’re solid. If they used the humans to hype up each monster and talk mad crap about the other that would be CRAZY. They only did VERY little of that in GvK.

Good news folks according to the director, Adam Wingard himself next film in MonsterVerse will centered around Godzilla if Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) performs well commercially. Please support MonsterVerse. MonsterVerse literally saved Godzilla franchise from wipe out of existence back in 2014 through Godzilla (2014) which revive the interest regarding Godzilla among audiences and fans. MonsterVerse is the sole reason why Godzilla France is still continuing and Toho produced films like Shin Godzilla (2016) and Godzilla Minus One (2023) which won Oscar and make the franchise a Oscar winning franchise. So keep loving and supporting Godzilla franchise and MonsterVerse.

[@tibs8721]

Scar King had so much personality and I was legit nervous when he was on screen because of how vicious and creepy he was. Your Koba comparison was spot on, and I honestly wasn’t expecting that from a new Godzilla and Kong movie

[@FestArc]

Movies like this are why you go to the theater. It's been so long since I've had this much fun at the theater. And I could tell the rest of the audience was feeling it, too. I saw Frozen Empire the week before, and I hate to compare the two, but you could just feel the difference in not just the filmmaking but also the audience's reaction to it. There were a lot of empty seats for Frozen Empire; one guy was sleeping through the movie (snoring pretty loud, too), and when the movie was over, the walkout was pretty quiet. Then you got Godzilla x Kong. The seats were packed with a wide mix of audience (old, young, families, couples, children). Everyone was laughing and having a good time. I could hear children cheering Kong on and people excited to see Godzilla do his thing, and when the movie was over, everyone left with smiles, talking about which part was their favorite and who their favorite monsters were. The couple beside me had some pretty funny commentary, especially during some funny Kong scenes.

[@georgedixon9863]

where? The audience in my theater seemed bored and several people got up and left, a couple small children liked it.

[@thephilosoraptor9753]

I love that Jia is now one of Mothra's priestesses

[@JAGzilla-ur3lh]

Yeah, I didn't expect that. Pretty cool. I think Jia is the live action Godzilla series' first character with psychic/telepathic powers since Miki, so this is something they haven't played with in quite a while. Interesting that she has connections with both Kong and Mothra, now. Maybe she'll reach out to Godzilla and help mellow him out a little bit in the next movie. The poor guy obviously has issues right now.

[@JcgLounge]

She’s basically a descendant of the original priestesses, at least that’s my theory.

[@GladDestronger]

Yeah, she's a nice character too. Glad we don't hear any of those woke whackjobs bitching about representation on her. I'm not deaf but I truly hope the hearing-impaired community likes her. Gia is what they should look up to. My grandma even liked it... mostly the Mothra elements (not an issue/Mothra is Toho's most popular kaiju with women).

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Aren't there supposed to be two of her?

[@grapeshot]

And of course everybody's already trying to compare It with Godzilla minus one these movies are two completely different animals one is supposed to be a thought-provoking post-war Japan and all that the other one is just popcorn entertainment.

[@ichigen511]

Dude I agree. Godzilla and King Kong have enough history to be able to tell a variety of different types of stories with different themes and emotions. Did you know the director of Minus One saw a pre-screen of this movie and loved it? He stated that America is making great Godzilla films at the moment and recognized they are a throwback to the silly Godzilla movies that Japan is famous for. Love Minus One (and Shin Godzilla) and appreciate that Japan is taking Godzilla in a cool new direction but there is room for popcorn flicks like this too. Cheers!

[@thomashamilton2761]

To me this move was better than minus one Godzilla dosent lose to a plane and more Godzilla time and story was okay on top of crazy monster shit

[@kdusel1991]

I really wanna see minus one! Everyone's been saying it's soo good!! Plus it won the Oscar for best visuals so that has me intrigued as well

[@OmniUni007]

I honestly want to see Japan’s reaction to GxK

[@Dodgerschamps24]

I wasn’t even entertain

[@andrewotaku1679]

I had so much fun watching this in the theater. The change in tone from the rest of the Monsterverse wasn't bad. It was like a different flavor of your favorite soda or candy. My one complaint is that the music wasn't really memorable. McCreary's score for KotM set the bar really high for me, and I hope that he comes back in future projects.

[@jay_deez]

Mines is I wish we got longer fight scenes wit other titans

[@Sakura_Matou]

Would be Epic if they Brought back McCreary for a showcase monster like Gigan or Biolantte.

[@nicolestimothy9921]

Depends on its tone though. Cause most action pack combat seem fitting here. Honestly, Bear's soundtrack truly bought tears of joy to G-fans and myself.

[@angelobrewster6293]

I loved it ❤ It brought me back to the Showa and Heisei era of Godzilla. Plus the part where Godzilla is sleeping in the roman colosseum, Adam Wingard in an interview said he took inspiration from watching his cat sleep and surprisingly when Wingard was talking Takashi Yamazaki in a talk together, Yamazaki said he also takes inspiration from watching his cat when making movies.

[@MahiMahi-yu5jo]

There are videos on YT about a cafe owner who adopted a bunch of cats and let them rule over his model train setups. And after watching those videos of cats and train dioramas, I realised that cats would make terrifying Kaiju. Humanity wouldn't survive.

[@Diaszurana]

I saw it last night with my daughter, and we both loved it. I can't tell you how many times the audience cheered and applauded during the movie. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! As a matter of fact, I recommend multiple viewings. If we keep watching thwm, they'll keep making them!

[@rayfordpete7141]

Kong beating the heck out of godzilla then dragging him by the tail was the best part of the movie

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Yeah, you could just _hear_ Kong thinking "nope, we've got no time for your shit today" at that point.

[@Alf-gm7tf]

The monsterverse is the only cinematic universe aside from marvel that worked

[@jared8530]

Truth Showa forever

[@hunterg.1300]

@@Sea-Salt That was more of a continuous saga of Godzilla's story. In the Monsterverse, we have two different title characters making it up and crossing-over, that being Godzilla and Kong. Two is not a lot, of course, but it is certainly working. On top of that, WB has tried branching out in other mediums for the Monsterverse like an animated series for Kong and Godzilla's recent "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," both of which are loved by fans.

[@airo2theknee846]

​@@hunterg.1300 Both Mothra and Rodan had their own solo movies before being introduced into the Godzilla franchise during the Showa Era. Baragon had one, Varan had one, even Gorosaurus was one of the featured monsters in a Japanese-produced King Kong movie. They all appeared in Destroy All Monsters. The Showa Era of Godzilla movies truly was the first cinematic universe.

Having already seen it twice. It honestly gets better the second time. You really get a chance to soak in the subtle details and deeper implications of the characters, especially the titans. The non-verbal story telling is so good. You can practically hear dialogue that's not actually there.

[@billscarnage]

SUCH A FUN MOVIE We have at least another 5 years, 2 movies and another season of Monarch. No one ever could have predicted this; where Godzilla, the campy Saturday monster now has a movieverse that is atop the box office. Mind blowing and satisfying.

[@OldSchoolCurt]

Monsterverse Kong is one of my favorite movie characters! Kong is awesome!

[@supercyc10]

I honestly hated most of GvsK, But they really redeemed themselves in my eyes with this one. They split the drama evenly between the humans and Titans, they kept the cast small and all the humans were actually cooperating and making SMART choices. Man, the visual storytelling told by just the Titan's body language- *chef's kiss* The only thing I did NOT like was their constant use of that fish-eye blur lense (don't know what it's officially called), even for calm moment that weren't supposed to be disorienting- they made disorienting

Also, I just wanna say thank you so much for adding a message like this at the end of your videos, Klayton (at 14:03).

[@garmmermibe5397]

Lmao, there was a girl in my theater sitting a few seats to the right of me. And it was so hilarious because there was that scene where Godzilla was fighting tiamat and it starts to look a bit like he might lose but then you hear him charging up and then everything goes quiet and it cuts to the above water view of the ocean. And right as the sound cut out, she goes "Uh oh!" LMAOOOOOOOO, most perfectly timed "Uh oh" I ever heard. Because right after that Godzilla's beam just starts shooting out of the ocean. She didnt even say it super loud either, but because the soundtrack itself got so quiet, I think almost everyone in the auditorium heard her. Lmao, it was the perfect encapsulation of that moment. "It was at that moment Tiamat knew... she fucked up." I'm still laughing about it hours later. Same with that moment Kong picked up Suko and started swinging him around like like a ragdoll. I almost shit myself laughing. I dont remember the last time I saw a movie that was this genuinely fun.

[@nope5657]

GxK is one of the most openly, earnestly exuberant and loving blockbuster spectacles in a long time. It isn't embarrassed to be what it is like so many other blockbusters today. No meta, ironic, detached, "stop and laugh" moments here. Just a heartfelt atomic bomb of colorful and vibrant monster mayhem. It's made with a palpable love and affection for all things giant monsters and then some. This isn't just an old school kaiju film with a Hollywood sheen added to it. It's a plethora of influences all melded together to make one hell of a fun time. This is old school tokusatu, it's anime, its Saturday morning cartoons, it's American action cinema of the 80s, its old school pulp adventure storytelling, etc. And its all rather seamless. I do have to call out your "this film is a mess" statement though. It's a far more narratively focused and streamlined film than GvK was. They keep the pacing of the plot lean and in constantly forward momentum. The duel journeys in the Hollow Earth between Kong and the Monarch team is really well executed. It's a tandem journey of discovery for both Kong and the humans. You mention Kong's power glove "coming out of nowhere" and, yeah, it kinda does. But it a) makes sense within this films universe and b) is set up to a degree with the Kong Dental Procedure we see early in the film. There are definitely some narrative shortcuts made in the film, but those aren't necessarily indicative of a "mess." To me, a "mess" of a film is a film that can't reconcile tone, story, execution, and its various narrative elements into a cohesive experience. GxK is remarkably cohesive in tone, story, and execution. And I don't think enough credit is being given to Adam Wingard for making what is often a dialogue-free, ultra-weird, monster movie. People can make fun about how "stupid" the movie is all they want. But any film that has this strong a creative grasp of its non-verbal protagonist is far, far from stupid. All of the creatures here are so full of life and personality, even the ones with minor amounts of screentime. You never once don't understand their motivations or emotions. The never-ending discourse about humans in these films is exhausting. But GxK does a smart thing by streamlining the humans to one small, core group. And they are all enjoyable. Yes, they're 90% exposition machines, but not one performance feels phoned in. They're an agreeable bunch to follow around. And the film even improves over GvK with the Bernie character, who was kinda unfunny and annoying in that film, but is far more likeable and fun in GxK. I haven't had such an unconscious, joyous smile on my face in a blockbuster movie like this for some time. I've seen it twice so far, and on peer entertainment value alone coupled with how confident it is making the monsters the real stars and characters, plus some GORGEOUS visuals - I can declare I believe this to be one of the best Godzilla AND Kong films ever made. It's wild to get two of some of the best Godzilla movies within a year of each other - and with opposite tones and goals. We are truly feasting as Godzilla and kaiju fans.

I watch Godzilla movies a few times a week. We absolutely loved this movie. The human story we have no issues with it at all. Again from the 70s. It did seem a little rushed especially when u get to the glove part. I say no more. In the age of 3 hour movies I would not have had any issues with that here because it would not have to be so rushed. This was more of a Kong story with Godzilla sprinkled all over until then end. The fights were epic. You only get a short time to take a breath. The theater roared in applause when it was over. Going to see it again.

I had a blast watching this. All the kaiju action anyone could reasonably ask for, and very creative. I did have a problem with the sound design. In the scene where Kong roars and Godzilla roars in answer, the score drowned out both to a ridiculous degree. Let their roars shake the theater, not the horns and strings. And I kind of wish there'd been a post-credit sequence of Dr. Andrews appearing on Bernie's podcast. Yes, unnecessary. But it would have been nice.

[@kez69ful]

Just watched it today and can I say…. I absolutely ❤it! Yes , it’s a bit silly and over the top compared to previous entries but as an enjoyable monster movie it gets top marks from me! I actually went in with lower expectations but came out of the cinema VERY pleasantly surprised, with a big grin across my face! It was funny, exciting and fulfilled everything that I wanted in the movie. It’s definitely a Kong-centric film and does an amazing job of pushing along his story and journey in these movies but when Godzilla does make his appearances he certainly shines. His new evolution makes him almost unstoppable however and you never feel that he’s in any real danger, even Shimu doesn’t seem capable of coping with Godzillas new form! Despite that, if anyone wasn’t sure about seeing this movie , I highly recommend you get along to the big screen and enjoy the ride of your life! ❤

When something feels heavily studio influenced and corporate, people can tell. If a movie is good, a movie is good. And I'm so happy to say that the Monsterverse is great!

SPOILERS... This was the dumbest and most fun Godzilla movie ever. It was so insanely dumb and stupid and I think that helped it a lot. Adam Wingard knew exactly what kind of movie he was making and I think this is exactly the kind of Godzilla we need from Western film makers while Toho goes back to their roots. I do miss the tone and atmosphere of the 2014 movie, but I loved the environmental storytelling with this movie. I noticed a lot of Easter eggs like the serpent attack on Kong being a shot for shot remake of his fight with the squid in skull island. Hearing Godzillas og roar for a couple of scenes was very cool as well and his new millennium inspired design is one of the best things in the movie. The lore with the hollow earth was convoluted, messy, and kinda jumbled with where we started but it also threw so much at the wall that I think any new film maker can make any genre of movie or show in the monsterverse. They've opened the door to a whole new era of the monsterverse.

I'm going to see it for a 3rd time this Monday! I LOVE this movie. It made me feel like the 5 year old me back in 92'

[@ubx9563]

I adored it! People clapped in my screen as well. I was one of them!

Hey!...We can use some "cheesy" cinema. This world is complicated enough..it's nice to relax and escape into this fantasy. Plus..another presentation of Mothra is always icing on the cake. She has always been a fan favorite. This was a FUN Magilla of a movie...I will be viewing this again. Nice review..my dud...glad to see some Love shown to a few of the cinema offerings...Kudos! Continue the good work....

If I were ranking Monstervse films, my list would look like this: 1. Kong: Skull Island - Solid human characters all around and some glorious cinematic shots as well as some truly horrifying moments highlight this action thriller. John C. Reilly killed it in his performance, as did Samuel L. Jackson. The music was good too! It wasn't perfect but it was close. 2. Godzilla X Kong - This film delivered everything everybody wanted in this film. They kept the human characters minimal and gave them something to do when they were involved in the plot. I did not find anybody annoying. The fact that this film made me feel an array of emotions says a lot. Two thumbs up! 3. Godzilla vs. Kong - Solid action monster film with a couple decent human characters but some very forgettable ones as well. 4. Godzilla (2014) - A good movie all around with no real major flaws other than it kinda couldn't figure out what type of movie it wanted to be. The fact that the titular monster is only on screen for about 14 minutes is an odd choice, as was the choice to kill off the best character in the movie early on. 5. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Angry and/or completely forgettable main characters always complaining or whining and constant weather interference during monster fights was overly annoying. However, there were a few iconic scenes, particularly the Rodan scene, that make this worthy of viewing. It may not be the best film in this franchise but it's not a terrible movie by any means. In fact, these bottom three are very close. It's been a solid franchise overall.

While I do appreciate them listening to the “we want more monsters”, I do hope we can get away from the superhero-esque presentation moving forward. I’d like for the monsters to have their sense of scale and weight restored. Weakest in the series to me, yet still enjoyable. Solid C+ for me. Also, I hope we get some kind of explanation for the lore change.

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

I do like that the movie starts with Godzilla doing a very Final Wars kind of thing and Kong is exploring the hollow earth while the humans do bits from every disney princess movie and 80's movie imaginable.

Great and fun review! New subscriber!

[@Dragoncurve]

Hey thanks!

[@mermaidmelodies1492]

I agree totally with your reaction/review. This movie was SO fun I had to see it twice the same weekend. It's like a Showa Era Saturday Morning Cartoon romp where the Monsters are the Superheroes. I first experienced audience clapping when I was just a teen in 1975's Jaws as the Shark blew up, and yeah, this one deserves the same type of appreciation.

[@dominicx4936]

I watched the movie twice. The fights were great, but in terms of the story, they went too far, making it complicated. Personally, the only Monsterverse movie I like and watch very frequently is Godzilla 2014. It was a simple, old-school monster movie with a deep and dark storyline, and the build-up was fantastic.

[@solar-jaymi]

Wait is this that guy that covers Jurassic stuff???

[@cutterbabcock9917]

Yes

[@WilVern-c6j]

This movie was great. I thoroughly enjoy all of the Monsterverse entries. On a side note, you have Hollywood Hogan on your wall and are wearing an nWo hat. Immediate follow. Great video!

[@matthewwilliams9200]

I have never been to a movie where the entire audience gasped in awe at the same time. That scene where godzilla and kong fought together and kong rode godzilla everyone was like oooooo ahhhhh.

[@BLUE-REX4934]

I loved it. It was exactly what I wanted a showa level crazy movie brought into modern Cinema.

[@kavehthephantomboy]

1:54 You are right man, another youtuber also said this, Monsterverse is getting inspirations from showa era.

[@bibledynasty5050]

[@blueravenfire]
