Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - movie Review

Godzilla & Kong are at it again! With more smashing, and (for some reason) human characters. Here's my review for GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE!

Except Godzilla is amphibious. He’s always been amphibious. And Godzilla is not supposed to be “cute” … he’s radioactive and has atomic breath. He’s destroys everything he encounters. Not to fail to mention he wrecked the coliseum as he exited it, but somehow it looked repaired upon return to his “cute” slumber. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@biggsg1934]

When I went to the movie yesterday, a dad brought his 6 or 7 year old daughter. It was her first movie in theaters ever, and it was in Imax. She got so sucked into the movie, she was moving in her chair when the monsters were swinging fists at each other, clutching the arm rests when the air vehicles were falling, and just having a blast. I knew going in this wasn't going to be the same kind of picture as Godzilla Minus One, but I love both films for completely different reasons, and am so glad that the Godzilla franchise has room to have both kinds of movies in it.

[@anecro]

Brainless fun for the sake of Kaiju movies won't last long. People are already getting tired of saying how cool the movies with bad writing and tons of green screen rooms are because they see monkey vs lizard punch it out. There's more to a movie than this, it's not even serving the universe they're trying to build, it's just like a modern MCU movie except it's still light on its humor and tries way harder with the destruction. This is what killed the showa era films slowly too, you just give up and target something smaller in order to stop trying. For those it was kids films that slowly became dumb and a mixed bag even for kids, here I see the classic Hollywood writing death I've been seeing in almost every single damn movie I've consumed post-2020. It's stagnation, even the trailer feels like a 2014 epic.

I'm convinced that this and the previous movie are much more Kong centric because they don't know how to make or care about the humans, so they choose the closest thing to them by using a big ape that can show expressions like us without needing to write mediocre dialogue for him. To give them credit, it's a clever strategy because it keeps the focus on the big monsters, and one thing these movies nail is how well the personalities of the kaijus, from Kong to King Ghidorah, are portrayed despite being giant god-like creatures compared to humans. And it worked well in the previous one since Kong was the underdog in the fight, and it was a nice way to make us root for him. I just hope we'll get either a Godzilla 3 or a final GodzillaxKong movie where Godzilla is actually the main focus again, make it over the top if you want with an alien invasion plot and Gigan as the main villain, or an epic conclusion against Destoroyah.

[@kassaken6521]

The aliens from Pacific Rim come to mind. Entering Earth not by space, but by portals in the ocean with their own Kaiju's. I always thought they could make it an alternate reality thing for the monsterverse. Maybe even add Jagers so the humans can do something lol.

[@revelationsthreesixteen1108]

After godzilla v kong there was no way to making kong a valid adversary for godzilla until glove but mothra is there check em now godzilla still beat em both tho😄! to give kong a major role appearance was this movie for sure! I'm sure if another rises it can go 1 of 3 ways... Godzilla is stand alone, or godzilla v long again being he has shimo now or they make space godzilla which is bad enough to need all 3 or destroyed.. However until oxygen destroyer is revamped into the lore destroying can't exist and 5 movies later it's possible 🤷‍♂️however where the story is seems like a finale already🥂 the world is at peace the monsters are within there areas and problems are resolved, and being what there known as godzilla protector of nature, and long protector of people so if you look at what the next movie...well godzilla is cemented now so making him a target or long going rogue at nature, or they bring another adversary whole wants to do against both.. What would fans really want next?! Hell as I stated before if Yamasaki/wingard collabed a Tohoverse could rise and space godzilla or destroyed could exist! I mean space and destroyah are Kia so bringing them to monsterverse would crash with to go lore, so try n decide how the next one resumes if they do... Sorry I'm a fan😂

[@daneg]

there's a contractual issue about how they are allowed to portray godzilla. he always has to remain somewhat aloof and a force of nature...something like that. kong's a great ape. humans are great apes. there's a lot more to connect there. but the way these last 3 movies have tried to integrate the human element into these movies is hilarious in its ineptitude. the worst of them was GvK though. GxK thankfully didn't spend much time on the human nonsense - none of which made sense. did you note how humans were still trying to attack godzilla 3 movies into the franchise after establishing the fact that godzilla is what keeps all the other titans in check? jfc. GxK did have significanlty more of the good stuff though (focused on titans) and did an admirable job with the emoting amongst the kong-ish titans.

[@OneEyedGhoulX777]

I think we have to realize that with these movies the human characters just simply don't matter and we're just here for giant monsters fighting.

[@martyc909]

After watching Godzilla Minus One, I think the reality is we can’t make a great Godzilla movie. There is so much in Godzilla that can’t be replicated by American writers. The best we can do is pull on American nostalgia and remake Showa type movies. When it cones to Kong, the US created Kong and honestly, it’s a concept American can write for. King Kong was always portrayed to be human like, sympathetic, which makes him the perfect hero for American style writing. Where as Godzilla is a symbol for neclear destruction, Kong was a symbol of racial tension, which Kong representing or fears of interracial romance. With that, in our times, Kong now is a sympathetic figure who is easy to write as a hero.

[@9DThree]

Nah when Kong knocked out Godzilla, and was dragging him to the hole when he woke up...😳🤨🤣🤣shit had me ROLLING!!!

[@corey2232]

It sounds awesome, and exactly what I want. It's silly that people keep comparing it to Minus One, especially when Godzilla has a long history of crazy, less serious films. As for Godzilla not being as big of a focus, I think it's because his role is pretty firmly established. He's the force of nature, ultimate equalizer, apex monster. He's the big gun called in when all hell breaks loose. So yeah, I'm hyped for this.

The way I see it, Godzilla Minus One is a modern version of the Godzilla movies like the original and 'Return of Godzilla' from 1984, bringing Godzilla back to his roots. US Godzilla is ultra-big-budget 1960's & 1970's Godzilla, from 'Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster' through 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'. When one looks at it this way, there's plenty of room for both. Godzilla, in pop culture, has had 2 identities - the horror icon, and a hero that kids (and adults that enjoy childlike excitement) enjoy, and as long as both sides of the Pacific continue to showcase these different sides, then I'd say let's keep Godzilla going on both ends!

[@thehauntedpotato6125]

I loved how earnestly they embraced the crazy fantasy/si-fi elements and made it feel like you were watching an old Showa era Godzilla movie. Plus they finally did what they should have done this whole time and made the monsters the MAIN characters since they're what people are coming to the theaters to see. Minus One was a great movie but if you watched is hoping to see some badass kaiju fight scenes or even a lot of Godzilla you might be kinda disappointed, this movie scratches the itch which that movie couldn't

I was surprised at how much fun this was. The more I think about it, the more it falls apart in places. But overall I was having a blast. I just can’t shake the thought that there’s probably a hypothetical Godzilla movie happening parallel to this movie that we don’t get to see. We get little glimpses every 20 minutes or so, but for most of the movie, Godzilla is off causing destruction by himself with no clear reason why. And I gotta imagine Millie Bobby Brown’s character and that kid from Deadpool 2 are trying to figure out what’s going on. But they’re not in this movie, so I guess we’ll never know. Kinda weird that she wasn’t even a vocal cameo on Brian Tyree Henry’s podcast or something.

The Showa movies were really bad. They were only charming because of the miniatures and tokusatsu special effects. Whatever Godzilla x Kong is, it is the worst of all worlds.

Godzilla x Kong is pretty mid...just watched it. Anytime the human characters show up, it's an exposition dump. They also shoe-horned in Mothra for no reason, just for her to basically do nothing. Also, "Somehow, Mothra returned." Never explained the connection between Shimu and the crystal or how it causes it pain. Builds up a fight between Godzilla and another Titan in the Arctic but then completely drops that plot point. Kong as a character was fun though and there were some cool fight scenes.

[@Kyluhd]

The plot is SO ham fisted and secondary to the monster action at such an absurd level that broke my suspension of disbelief at every turn. The perfectly convenient metal arm situated and ready right next to a tribe they didn't even know existed, which also was prepared to cure Kong's frostbite is where I stopped thinking about anything. All that said, I was either smiling or laughing through the entire movie and it was such stupid fun. So I loved it. But it's also terrible. lol
