GODZILLA VS KING KONG: MONSTERVERSE (5/22/20) 3 3

This movie is not good...

[bronze_rules]

Watched at midnight. Or should say fast forwarded through after about 1/2 hour. Not too thrilled about the CGI. Prefer the 70s version.

Hopefully better than King Kong vs Godzilla 1962 movie.

I'll give it a... 1.5/5? The VFX are very bad at times. Godzilla looks pretty good, and so does Kong's hair, but much else is 'ugh'. Of course, they try to get us to care for these meaningless human characters. The dialogue is so bad.

They got 1 thing right:

Spoiler

Godzilla dominated Kong.

I'm still excited to see it tonight. But bummed at those reactions.

Keep expectations very low and you may enjoy it. It's less than 2 hours, so not the biggest waste of time.

That quote is definitely going on the marketing poster.

This is the best thing that I have ever seen on this forum.

Don't think there are any movie theaters open in Western Canada. BC Health just shut down all dine-in cafes and restaurants for 3 weeks solid. Drive-thru, pick up, delivery and sitting outside on the wet deck to eat allowed still. Don't expect much of a box office in Canada for Easter long weekend coming up.

Theaters in Ontario have been closed since last year

Watched it ... felt like a cleaned up version of the last one.  The Mechagodzilla is lame, real lame, just a generic Transformer.

Godzilla didn't do his sound once, he only roared like a T-rex

Only interesting thing was that the bad guys have an underground Hyperloop tube that goes from Florida to Hong Kong.

Smog Monster was on tv a week ago.  Hadn't seen it in almost 40 years, figured hey nostalgia!

I was surprised at how genuinely good it is, great effects too.

I am looking forward to 'Son of Godzilla' a.k.a. the boxer vs the son of Kong. So bad, it is good.

Fair enough.  I will not pay for on demand then...

[Bosco685]

I'm at 1:23 hours so in the heart of the big monster fight. This is massive! Kong in one scene pile-drives Godzilla into a building. And yes - Godzilla very much lets out his traditional massive roar.

I think some hate the human side in these films. I'm having a good time.

And on the third monster...

Spoiler

Mechagodzilla is huge and deadly

I have to strongly disagree. He took one big monster and pretty much tossed him around like a ragdoll. This would have been one heck of an experience on an IMAX screen!

[bentbryan]

I really liked this one. Definitely bummed me out I that wasn’t seeing it in IMAX.  There are a few shots in there that would be incredible on a massive screen.   Is it high art? No, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a fun movie about giant monsters and robots beating the out of each other with the city taking the blunt of the force.  

 

[fantastic_four]

Liked it better than any other Godzilla film that has come out over the last two decades or so.  None of the giant monster or robot fighting films are great.  If they're fun and hold my attention I like them, and this one did both.  I wasn't expecting the third monster, so when he popped up I enjoyed it.

Question:

Spoiler

Who are we to assume built that area where Kong found the axe?
