They could have called this "Godzilla _and_ Kong". With a film called "Godzilla _x_ Kong", they've got to at least hold hands, or that's false advertising.

"immediately". You mean AFTER Godzilla slammed monk e through giant pyramids like a BOSS. That pink shit is gay though.

[@toddknaperek8225]

I think they like focusing on Kong because he's a thinking creature. He's relatable because he emotes, he thinks, and interacts with the humans whereas Godzilla is just a raw, territorial force or nature. And this isn't new, they've taken this route with both creatures going all the way back to the 1962 film. I enjoyed it, especially that first Kong/Suko fight. I got a good laugh out of that.

[@Yaromyr21]

I'd say he's more expensive than Godzilla so that is another reason.

[@A_d_e_k]

Godzilla definitely has shown thinking capabilities. He is just so at the peak of the planet's ecosystem, I would say he just """""vibes"""""" differently (allow me the term for the sake of simplicity). I actually felt really bad for the first 3/4 of the movie for Godzilla. Godzilla is alone, fighting monsters that have been dormant for millenias. He gets called for help, he immediately starts powering up. It's a depressing perspective...and one I think the movie exposed subtly but in a very pleasant way. Kong gets a new family and reign (and I felt genuinely happy for him, really), but Godzilla at the end of the day is just...alone, in the colosseum, with mankind still not trusting him fully and trying to always portray him as the scapegoat for troubles. His face when seeing Mothra again says everything, we have never seen Godzilla this emotionally moved in the MV. The scene hits especially hard, when thinking about the fact that the last time they say each other, they were fighting to save the world and one of them died for the other.

[@brandolio6880]

Apparently the director, Adam Wingard, wants to do one more of these Kong and Godzilla movies, but have it focus much more on Godzilla. Which if that happens, I’m all for it. I’m glad Kong got a lot of attention in these past films, but Goji’s more my boy. Lol

[@Hanoua2]

Especially with how things ended for *KING* kong in this movie, it makes a lot of sense to put the focus on Godzilla next

[@claytonrios1]

Godzilla X Kong does seem very AVGN vs Nostalgia Critic at times to be fair.

[@DiamondBatToons]

Excuse me while I animate past bits with Doug & James using GZ & K... xD

[@Nasser851000]

0:00 It's like he knew Doug personally XD

[@allen8959]

4:14 My thoughts exactly, Doug. I'm a huge fan of this franchise and the moment I saw the little Kong in the promo material I began to dread this movie not to mention how much they kind of kept a lot of this movie under wraps. Like I feel this movie got no media exposure cuz I forgot it was even coming out on Friday, and that made me think that they were trying to let it slide under the radar. Between that and little Kong being centric and a lot of promo material, I was scared going in. And honestly with the first song in the movie being a doo-wop, I dreaded it even more in the first minute or so. But God when things actually started panning out and little Kong wound up being a feral little bastard that Kong immediately uses as a weapon, I think I understood at that point why the promos were like they were. I think they wanted you to think it would be like that so you'd go in with lower expectations and then wind up getting completely floored and flabbergasted at the hilarious first scene little Kong is in. Honestly I'm wondering though did you happen to notice like I did that the final fight scene had this odd cinematography to it that made it feel kind of like it was being filmed in a studio with people in suits and destructible environments? Like there was just something about the lighting and some of the camera angles that felt like old Godzilla films from the Heisei era. Honestly with them sort of embracing the campiness of old Godzilla in the American films, And Japan embracing the deeper character of Godzilla in their own films, Godzilla fans are eating really well because we get the best of both worlds lately. Also, Godzilla finding a napping spot in the middle of the Roman Colosseum has to be the greatest thing I've ever seen. "If it fits, I sits".

[@bluerobin7051]

The divide between critics and audiences seems to keep growing with this series. It's like the reincarnation of 'Transformers.'

[@OnBakePlatinum]

The part with Kong's robo hand grabbing the pyramid brought me right back to the balls scene from Transformers 2

[@damiang1442]

Kong aged rapidly between movies. It's like looking at Hugh Jackman between first X-Men movie and Logan, which doesn't make much sense.

[@saphcal]

i love that RPG analogy lol he really was off power-leveling for the final boss fight the whole movie while Kong was on an epic quest

[@tannerprice2018]

I basically knew what I was getting myself into, when seeing the trailers and such, especially with the other Monsterverse films that were released previously. And even then, it feels like the director knew what audiences and Godzilla fans wanted to see, from a Kaiju brawler like this, you basically know from the trailer you’re not getting something as dark and heartbreaking as Minus One, but if it’s giant monsters fighting and destroying stuff, you’re getting what you paid for in terms of spectacle. And for what it’s worth, GXK delivered ten fold on the monster action, considering there’s several monsters going around in the movie, not just the title characters.

[@StormMatt448]

Overall, I thought this movie was good. 7/10. Pros -CGI was amazing. -Exploring the Hollow Earth was cool. -Gia was good. -I liked Kong’s story and his relationship with Suko. -Skar King was a good addition to the villain roster. Cons -Humans were passable, but not great. -The movie could’ve been 5-10 minutes longer. -Not enough of Godzilla or other Titans. -Final battle and ending went too fast. -Skar King and Shimo didn’t feel like a world ending threat.

[@xxvaltielxx1789]

The last point I don't mind much, we all know how more threatening some of the established monsters are, Destroyah? Yeah, King Ghidorah is way more threatening than Scar, but again, that's perfectly fine, no need to be always a step up.

[@StormMatt448]

@@xxvaltielxx1789 True. But he could’ve reached up to Ghidorah’s level. I think of Skar King killed some established Titans like Behemoth and maybe Rodan, and sealed the portal behind him and Shimo, forcing them to come through another portal, and doing more cold damage to the Earth. And as a funny bonus, he destroys the statue of Jesus in Rio and stands in place of it.

[@Soulreaper-1129]

I’m hoping that Godzillas powering up wasn’t for scar king and shimo but for the next movie…in fact Godzilla didn’t even seem to know or care scar king and shimo were causing trouble in the hallow earth

[@HKtraidon]

@@Soulreaper-1129 I personally think that he was powering up because he thought he would have to fight them alone. But then King kong gave him a solution he didn't expect and godzilla was just over leveled for a co-op run.

[@Soulreaper-1129]

@@HKtraidon that’s actually a good way of putting it, well I’ve heard Wingard stated that he’s got plans for a third film that would be more Godzilla centered so that’s why I had that theory but again that a good explanation

[@edmondmartinez9617]

The baby Kong was basically the baby Yoda effect, but they did give us an amazing scene right off the bat for people who hate the cute little monster trend. I think that made it all worth it. Also when you get to watch it again, Rebecca Hall as the mom of Gia is acting her ass off in this movie. She really deserves some credit for how well that relationship was portrayed.

[@zombiefreak851]

"Koll Skung Island" gave me a bit of a chuckle I'm not gonna lie.

One of my favorite moments and payoffs is when Skar King is mocking Kong for his dental implant. Then, at the end, Skar King loses a tooth and Kong points to his implant with a smirk, as if to say, "Ehhhh?! Now you gotta get one like me!!!"

[@josephreak_godzigelion]

This flick is perfection for the point the monsterverse is now, it delivers what was promessed and even more. This is exactly what a Monster movie should be. Godzilla might be a second class saga, it will never be a star wars, but in its particular shelf of genre, in 70 years the king never dissapoints and it keeps getting better. BRAVO!

[@chuckles_rockz5637]

My take was that Kong and GMan are both playing a video game. Skar King and Shimo are the final bosses. And they’re playing it in two separate ways. Kong’s following the quest line, he’s figuring out the lore and the plot. Then Godzilla’s over in the corner doing all of the side quests.

[@mitch4672]

Had tons of fun. Felt like a mix of avatar with the visuals and the exploring of the hollow earth, it was a treat. Thought myself the human characters weren't that bad, i particular really liked dan stevens the titan dentist, loved the li'l girl. Granted, the theorist guy felt had nothing, his story - much like milly brown - ended in zilla vs kong. but the scenes of the titans were amazing, the story telling just through visuals and facial expressions was exquisite. You could perfectly follow king kong's story without any dialogue. Scar king was indeed a good manacing villain, different than i expected though, more like starscream a more backstabbing, sceaming villain. He weren't the strongest, not the biggest, but he had these filthy tricks up his sleeve. Overal i had a great time and it pretty much was the perfect flic for me. Though i cannot see how there be more to come, this very so felt like an epic finale to the series. The story, the war for hollow earth it's pretty much resolved now. Aah well, we'll see i geuss. 'be watching this one again soon.

[@dolphincrescent54]

This film reminds me of that movie Peter Griffin pitched in that one Family Guy episode about Jaws teaming up with the fisherman to take down a bigger Jaws.

[@Hanoua2]

"Oh my god, we have a common we need to work together"

[@peterlawless2686]

What I liked about this movie: - The Relationship with Kong & the Kid Kong - The Epic Final Battle - Mothra's return (I literally did not see that coming, so good job with that one, movie) - Dan Steven & Bryan Tyler Henry's characters (Yeah, I thought they both kinda worked well with each other) -That one jerk military character got killed off halfway through the middle. Usually, we'd have to wait for the climax in a movie like this for a character to get his comeuppance, so that kinda subverted my expectations.

[@andrewwarner4434]

The animation for the monsters was fantastic. So much emotion and personality from Skar King and Kong without a single word spoke.

[@spyderprimus2863]

I saw it yesterday for my birthday, which is Saturday lol. And as a big Godzilla fan, I really enjoyed it. While King of the monsters and the first Godzilla versus Kong are my personal favorites of the monster verse, this was definitely my third favorite film of the franchise. The human characters were pretty all right and like Doug said, gia, the mute girl was the best acted human in the story and all the others were pretty all right. The monsters were awesome, the action was amazing, and I love how much personality they put on Kong and it's definitely his story. And this may be just me, but I think with the little Kong that's involved in the movie, that's going to move into a son of Kong film. And the scar king, I'd have to watch it again and really examine him to say if he's a good villain, but he was definitely a better villain than mechagodzilla was in the last one. I personally can't wait to see what the monster verse comes up with next because I'm eagerly anticipating any and all films of this franchise

[@Tomtycoon]

I found it hilarious how the mother looked just 3 seconds at the old mural, and could tell the whole backstory of the villan. It was also the first time in my life where I was struggling not to fall asleep in the theatre. Maybe I was just tired.

For me it was Dumb fun movie, has it's goofy and action moments to leave you satisfied. The humans are meh with a few good scenes, liked the monster moments (main reason why I watched them) how they interact without the need of dialogues. I really liked Kong in this one, seems that every movie he gets smarter and adapts to the situations at hand. Showing sympathy and seriousness when it needs to. I said it before and I'll say it again. It is good time to be a Kaiju Fan

[@dljprogun]

It was good, but I would have liked to see more Godzilla. Spoiler alert: I was really hoping that Godzilla was going to be the one to kill Scar King. So I was disappointed with that.

[@tylerensminger]

I think the way they're going about it is fine as with Toho continuing their Godzilla franchise I think having him as a secondary character to Kong is good enough.

[@emblemblade9245]

Honestly I thought the pacing in this was very good. The humans and Kong plots overlapping with one another allowed them to do a lot of things. Gia got a great arc, the other humans were fun and had their own individual reactions to Hollow Earth, the Skar King backstory set up the stakes well, Kong got to find and stop the horrors of Skar’s reign and completed his character arc of finding his family… What’s there to complain about?

I thought Shimo was cool :)

Honestly the human characters were horrendous, and the plot was razor thin at best. 3/10

I wish they made a film about this monsteverse with no dialog, but only a onicient narrator to explain some key moments. Would be perfect for this film.

I like Kong and I get that he’s gonna be easier to write. But more Godzilla equals better movie. It’s a physical law of nature.

My one regret with this movie was that I never got a chance to see it in IMAX because the times were either at 10 in the morning or 10 at night! My friend and I desperately wanted to see it in IMAX but both of us have jobs that start at 9 and don’t finish till 4. And neither of us wanted to be out late to see it. Other than that I really enjoyed the movie a lot.

I remember how pissed i was when the dentist let himself be eated by a alien mosquito. Because i caught Dengue and couldnt watch the movie until 2 weeks later! I didnt watch it on IMAX, but man! The room was still SHAKING!

I thought this was a little better than G Vs. K. I'm glad they slimmed down on the number of humans walking around. I felt both Godzilla and Kong had one fight each that could have gone on a little longer, cuz that's what we're mostly there for is seeing their fights. there definitely moments that got the theater to cheer, myself included, and I think that's a good sign this movie is a least on the same level as the last one.

I was shocked to see the sidekick Imperial from Andor as the security guard in this movie, I thought he sounded familiar.

I wanna see Dan Steven's become Jet Jaguar
