Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a step back in quality with a giant leap into the absurd. Fans clearly disagree but either way, it’s good to see Godzilla thriving 70+ years later.

And to think.... they made Godzilla -1 disappear to prop this crap-fest up.
That may be typical for a hopelessly corrupt and intellectually dead-from-the-neck-up, but it is also how the establishment goes down in flames.
EXCELLENT WORK. THE MOVIE CYNIC VIDEO REVIEW OF GODZILLA X KONG THE NEW EMPIRE.
YEAH I TOTALLY LOVE THIS REVIEW I LOVE THE PART WHERE YOU SAID THE SHOWA ERA WAS SHIT AND THAT MADE ME MAD AF THANK YOU!!
"This movie is so dumb."
"Yes. Three tickets please." 🗿
I love Cynics content but this one had me rolling my eyes. Like bro it’s a typical Hollywood blockbuster , doesn’t need to be that deep , Oscar worthy movie…hopefully he doesn’t become that channel which shits on a fun blockbuster movie just for views.
@@paulpivaral4832he is the kinda guy to compare this to minus one💀
@@paulpivaral4832ye bro why do this people don't enjoy fun, also who cares if the human characters are dumb the BIG MAIN FOCUS HERE IS GIANT MONSTERS FIGHTING.
Cant wait for Upgraded Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla in next monsterverse movie.
Problem is the movie isn't very fun.
You went into a legendary pictures Godzilla movie expecting Another Godzilla minus one.
Not really, he liked Gvk but this one just goes into the silly and stupid territory too much. I think there should be a balance like in gvk.
@@orest7026 There really wasn't a balance in that one... This just gave us more of what that film did just on steroids.
Both films have the little girl and science lady as the "emotional drive" and are the only aspect that could be considered "serious."
Comparing this to GVK is like comparing Thor love and thunder to Thor ragnarok. Similar but just took things too far.
said by nobody......
@@orest7026 ...there was a giant mecha Godzilla in GvK...
*insert that one gif of that Ape screaming at Kong only to get punched in the face by Kong*
That scene was awesome
@@maxellington5839 My mom laughed her ass off until she couldn't breathe at that scene.
Bro is on a speedrun to have the worst opinion
He already beat the record

Yeah this movie rocked I'm watching it for a 4th time
For real. But I do enjoy seeing these stuck up video essayists embarrasse the hell out of theirselves by saying the most dumpster fire opinions on the Godzilla Franchise. 🤣
@@ParkRanger2000 Most people don't really realize that before any Kaiju movie? there was godzilla, that's him.

Whole heartedly agree
@@gerardwilliams7244 🔥
Whole heartedly disagree… completely trash. Transformers sequels are masterpieces in comparison
Yeah man, I loved it.
bro kingkong has a thanos gauntlet and thors axe and godzilla goes super saiyan i dont think its that deep
thats what im sayin bro
Exactly! bro doesn't want to have fun
It’s not that deep but woulda been a better movie all around with sum changes. Thus warranting the criticism 🤨 sorry sum ppl want an actual film over a two hour line for ten minutes of enjoyable screen time 🙄
@@bannedwagoner69 bro thinks being fun makes it a bad movie is crazy
@NoU-pf8fc you know what's fun? Movies like Winter Soldier. It had moments where it didn't take itself seriously but it also had moments that set it up to be one of the best spy thriller movies in the last 2 decades. It's about quality
If you want your movies to have "campy" tones and low effort acting then fine, you do you. Just don't be surprised when Hollywood uses you to justify low standards
Critics in 2019: “Bro there are way too many humans”

No that was 2014
@@Izywik92 The human characters unlike in KOTM had decent characteristics, at least in my opinion.
@@legendaryhet7513 Which I definitely agree with you on that one
And here's my opinion about this movie, Scylla and Tiamat doesn't deserve to die....
2014 was hit deep bro
stuff makes sense, stuff has emotion, godzilla looks dope
now stuff dont make sense, stuff is to fast for emotions and now the monsters looks like god damn ultraman
So... Let me get this straight. Godzilla - a franchise where it contains:
*Tail sliding Godzilla.*
*Godzilla dancing on the moon.*
*Every Toho Monster curb stomping King Ghidorah.*
*Kong shoving a tree in Godzilla's mouth.*
*Godzilla body slamming a Megaguirus with comically bulging eyes.*
*The running scene from Godzilla vs King Ghidorah from the 1990's movie.*
*Kamata-Kun.*
*Jet Jaguar handshake.*
*The throwing of Kumonga.*
*Ebirah slamming into Hedorah.*
*N.I.G.E.L getting destroyed in every episode of The Animated Series.*
*Godzilla swearing at Mothra twins when they ask him to help.*
*Minilla getting physically abused by Godzilla.*
*Little Godzilla from Space Godzilla.*
*Kong getting drunk off of wine.*
*Godzilla ripping out Hedorah's balls.*
*Godzilla, King Ceasar and Rodan literally playing soccer with Anguirus.*
*King Ghidorah nut shotting Godzilla.*
*Godzilla and Anguirus LITERALLY TALKING.*
- All that is fine, but the line is drawn at Godzilla Suplexing Kong off of the great pyramids and Kong using Suko as a nun-chuck? Funny coming from someone saying they own all 36 movies but can't reference this movie off of anything other than the Monsterverse or Minus One.
This movie is tame compared to the Showa era. The Godzilla dance still haunts me... 😅
Don't forget about Godzilla fighting his clone...which is also a plant with human DNA somehow
This is one of the best comments that completely debunks this man's dumpster fire of a movie review.
Are you for real? No Batman fans want Adam West dumbster fire of a version in 2024, because they are not settling for mediocrity.
@@KaitoMinato Adam West's Batman is fucking based dude. And OP. Oh, and while I love the current dark Batman, he's also a versatile character. Like Godzilla.
This whole comment section is treating online “critics” like Kong did that one ape

@@lukew6725 The only stupid person around here is you.
@@lukew6725 We know this movie is stupid and that’s why we love it.
1. Ignores the movie's opening that expresses Kong's longing for others of his kind in Hollow Earth.
2. Yes, the tooth subplot introduces a main character. But it also shows Kong's trust in humans and their symbiotic relationship. Skar king uses the tooth to make fun and outcast Kong in Hollow Earth.
3. Haircuts are part of your criticism?
4. They called in a veterinarian who has experience with these titans to help take care of Kong, who did you want them to call?
5. Kong has bonded with Jia. I doubt Kong would be willing to talk to just anybody who knows sign language.
6. Ignores Jia telling her newly adopted mom how she doesn't fit in in her new life- which leads into her mom suspecting she'd want to stay in Hollow Earth where she is shown to be fitting in.
7. Kong and Suko kill and eat food together? You meant to say Suko shows off his intellect by attempting to kill Kong and get away, but Kong constantly overcomes and attempts to build trust with him. And at this point this wasn't even shown purely to build a relationship, Kong used Suko to find his way to others of his kind.
You're really nitpicking for criticisms here and shielding it with the "I love the old goofy Godzilla movies, but this is too far" trope.
I'm literally autistic, and I'm just listening and wondering how this guy doesn't get it.
@XanthosAcanthus I think autistic guys would get/enjoy this movie the most lol.
1. When I watch back, I have sympathy to Kong as he is wonder the Hollow Earth alone hoping to find his kind somewhere in the hills and valleys.
2. Kong find Suko and forced him to find the leader of the apes that ambush him and Suko truly used his mischift to trick Kong and ran away. What makes me intresting is how Kong not abused Suko once he fought the serpent he just like "Go Boy". Yes he did "abused" Suko as a melee weapon once. But it begins to show Suko looked Kong as a great father he wants.
3. Skar King displays many reference when I watch, he is Lord Shen and Koba. Ruthless and violent dictator to the other kong species.
4. Dr Andrews and Jia had a good bond and understand Jia could not fit in with the modern world. Trapper even advice to Bernie where want to share with the world to fix his reputation, its better let the Iwi lived their ways and never expose it. What happend to the people of Skull Island is because of humans from the outside world came in like APEX building their station and Monarch. Causing their people extincion left Jia witch include Ghidorah storm and Kamazos. Worst, world governments wanted to take over Hollow Earth and the multibillion cooperations to exploit Hollow Earth resources like in the comics Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted where Raymond hunt small titans as their trophy.
The movie has good topic if you can listen their conversation or the titans body language and expresion. While Planet of the Apes have conversation like humans or Disney's Lion King remake using real animals but has no facial expression. This has a right tone that using body language and facial expresion without dialogs and its up to us the audience to understand it. As a bonus point from me, some scene has a meme potencial too. 😂
I hate the "I love the Showa films, but" critique. Like no dude, if you loved the Showa films you'd love GxK, this is literally the same level of bonkers, stupid nonsense. And I will happily keep paying to watch it.
He’s literally just trying to be critical for being criticals sake there’s no point in his critiques just comes off as pretentious and idiotic
bro forgot the dr skipper incident
Unlike Doktor Skipper, this guy actually provided evidence that wasn’t just “AmErIcA dOeSnT uNdErStAnD gOdZiLlA” and go on about how Godzilla is specifically meant to be a villain (obviously not true)
But none of that at all excuses this film from being complete slop in comparison to the prior films. Just because someone doesn’t want a film to be utter slop, doesn’t mean they want it to be a masterpiece. All you’re doing is creating a massive false dichotomy. If you actually watched the video, you’d see that this guy genuinely liked GvK, as did I, and that’s because that movie was genuinely good even if it was fun and a little silly at times. GxK just feels like it was forced into the MonsterVerse timeline, and none of it even remotely feels important at all. Plus, it doesn’t help that the CGI was pretty rough at times which breaks the immersion completely.
@@CobbleBompsterYAP YAP YAP.

What’s stupid Is going to a movie called Godzilla x Kong expecting more than what It Is
Exactly
I for one, quite liked it. Im not a superfan of the franchise or anything, but I thought it was pretty good.
So did I it was great to see you
Indeed, it was good, I saw it twice already
Care to elaborate?
@@_reigner It’s just fun to watch. It’s nothing life changing or complex.
I'm a super fan of the franchise. I'm talking an "own every film" super fan of the franchise. I'm talking all 38 films but technically 40 because I also own the original Mothra and of course Kong: Skull Island is a part of the series as well.
I LOVED this film. I also LOVED Godzilla Minus One. They are about as different as any two entries in this series could be but I love both of them for different reasons.
Godzilla remains one of the most dynamic and versatile film franchises of all time.
Bro is about to repeat the dr.skipper incident lmao
I just commented about that 😂😂😂😂
@@Caratrox he flew too close to the sun on this one
Nah the dr. skipper video was flat out objectively wrong on most fronts
Yea......either don't watch these kinds of movies or try to enjoy them as much as we do. They out here expecting another Godzilla -1 but no, we need more diversity soo the realism and horror fans can enjoy Godzilla and the action, craziness enjoying fans can also enjoy godzilla to widen the franchise
@@radityabagusanantachannel1196 no this movie just objectively SUCKS... stop making excuses for it and STOP trying to gaslight... its TRASH The END.... like the last several Transformers movies I'm sure you enjoyed as well..

Facts!
Just because you know it's going to be garbage doesn't excuse the fact that its garbage.
How's that grass taste? I only ask cos you sound like a sheep like the other comments like this
@@riley2220it's not it's fun you dbass
Guess what? A movie doesn’t just have to be “fun” to be good. “Fun” is one of the many things that actually make a movie good, but when your movie only accomplishes “fun”, it’s safe to say that your movie sucks.
So movies can't be fun anymore? It can't be about big monsters fighting against other big monsters? I like this movie because that's what it is. It's not trying to be the next big thing, it's about Godzilla and kong fighting monsters. That's basically it, it stays in it's on lane and it does it very well.
@@zogwort1522 For modern people, the difference doesn't exist.
People are fine with absolute bottom of the barrel as long as they think it's "fun".
How is this movie fun? All the fights combined are barely 20 minutes long in a 2 HOUR movie! The fights were also way too quick and pretty unsatisfying to watch. Furthermore 3 of the fights happened mostly offscreen e.g Kong vs water serpent thing, Godzilla vs Tiamat and Godzilla vs Shimo. There could be more examples but I don’t remember, that’s how forgettable the movie was. There’s nothing fun about this movie.
Be fr, tell me one thing you liked about this movie other than the kaiju fights.

What's a moive?
Tell me you didn't watch the review without telling me you didn't watch the review
Those two characters had complex stories even in the monsterverse they started serious
Lmao this actually made me laugh
At this point a dumb movie is a step up from the absolute constant deluge of "the message" filled slop
Lol ikr average movies are now seen in a better light due to how much absolute dogshit we have seen these past few years. Like Madame Web and The Marvels are WAY worse than GxK slop.
This one sends "the message": super powerful diversity prodigious kid, adopted daughter of awesome female scientist...
@@DJVARAO eh they aren't really powerful and don't really overshadow and emancipate male characters. They were just used as plot devices to wake up mothra.
Hopefully, this is the trend: trend
Good movies ---> Bad movies ---> "The message" ---> Bad movies ---> Good movies
What actually is “the message” that you people mald over so much?
I mean the title is GodzillaXKong. What did you anticipate? A gripping philosophical exploration of existential dread? A riveting courtroom drama where Kong cross-examines Godzilla on the stand? It's not a film that aims to unravel the mysteries of the universe. It's designed to thrill and entertain. Which it does.
It also is a kids movie
@@user-tc1sl3fd9r But does that make it bad? No.
Also, maybe your just pointing out things and not calling the movie trash. I'm fine with that:)

Having silly concepts and being entertaining does'nt mean that it's ok to be incompetent

godzilla movies exist to enjoy giant monsters fighting and this delivers on that, only a small portion of them are more than that and those are outside the norm. not every godzilla movie needs to be a shin or zero movie in order to be good.
Agreed.
Facts
Yes. There’s room for both and for them to be appreciated for what they both want to accomplish.
These movies are aimed at airheads like you
@@JLoc is there a issue with having both. You could have serious and goofy. and if you believe serious is good and if you believe goofy is bad, it’s up to you. And if you believe one is written good, and if you believe one is written, it is what it is. The legendary movies on is the right consistent between the movies and that is answered with the second one consistency, they changed our path. but if you like the things that happen in the 2014 Godzilla, you have something even better with minus one and those movies that will continue and also shin Godzilla.
Movie was exactly what I expected it to be… a big, dumb, and loud tribute to Showa era monster flicks. It delivered on all fronts, and GOD bless it. We all should let our inner child be happy once in a while.

@@_reigner Nah. I pick and choose when to be discernible about the movies I watch. A Godzilla monster battle flick is not one of them.
I grew up with Godzilla delivering missile drop kicks to a giant robot wearing a giant Godzilla skin suit, who was brought to earth by aliens from outer space. It’s all about context and your expectations.
I’m willing to get out of my own way in order to have a little disposable fun once in a while.
Don’t know what to tell you if that offends you… random stranger on the internet.
@@pete.lopenoNo those Showa era movies were known by Japanese audiences back in the 60s to be bad (post Godzilla vs mothra). They were campy b- movies made on shoestring budgets for little kids. That’s why they hardly made money and were relegated to cult status for 40 years. That being said there is still a certain charm and craftsmanship that came with those movies from the miniature making to the suit design. This is just making a shit movie on purpose because they know G fans are just gonna line up anyways.
@@calebemerson9317it's hilarious because this was more of a king Kong movie and it's not shit his entire journey was phenomenal you can nitpick anything but Kong and his arc shit was so good you forget not a single word was spoken and no humans were involved
These movies are the equivalent of a child smashing action figures into each other
It isn’t for everyone, some people want a deep movie about the chaos Godzilla causes, some people want big monke boxing match. I personally thought it was great.
I love how we have the heavy, realistic, and symbolic godzilla, and the wrestlemania of kaiju in the span of 6 months. It’s the best of both words for godzilla
Exactly
Yeah, that's the point dude. The whole crowd I was with didn't come for Minus One we came for big monke and big lizard fighting other big monke and big lizard.
Except the big monkey and big lizard fights still sucked. Compare the fights in this one to those from GvK or King of the Monsters. Those had a sense of scale, they felt awesome.
Here the camera was always way too close to everything so you couldn’t get a sense of scale. And the editing was distractingly hyperactive, it felt like the editor made it while working on a diet of cocaine and Red Bull.

@@matteomastrodomenico1231 Great thank you.
I've read the novel and am eager to see the movie.
This was one of those movies you really gotta temper your expectations with, especially coming off the success of Minus One because it will definitely not achieve the same heights. Is KxG stupid, nonsensical and do the human characters suck and are mediocrely written? Yeah. But the monster throwdowns were sick and I got to see Godzilla suplex kong so that alone was worth it for me. This was basically a dumb popcorn movie to watch with your friends while you’re housing down some snacks and it succeeded in that.
I may be in the monitority, but I liked the human characters; Dan Stevens' discount Peter Quil/Kaiju veterinarian, especially. The little girl brings enough emotion, just like the last film. Alex Jo- ..I mean...the podcast guy is still funny.
This one actually had the most enjoyable human moments in the franchise, besides maybe John C. Reily in Skull Island.
Yeah I agree, y'all are sleeping on Dan Stevens, he was one of the best parts of this movie aswell😭
But a “dumb popcorn flick to watch with your friends” does not mean it has to be a “bad” movie.
Would you consider Kung Fu Panda as something to watch with friends. I would, and the fact of the matter is that while the premise is inherently dumb (That being about a Panda learning Kung Fu) the movie is treated with respect and people put work in to it so as to make it both compelling visually, and narratively.
What did Godzilla 2014 do?
It gave respect to Godzilla and made him a force of Nature. They made it so that while Godzilla is a result of Nuclear Testing, the Muto were the result of Strip Mining, and arguably worse industry. They gave the creature weight, and while we were blue balled for the majority of the film, when the King finally showed up, it was amazing.
Kong Skull Island.
Payed Homage to the original King Kong while also reinventing old ideas and making them work within the new “Monsterverse”. They respected not only the history of Kong, but his character, and from there, they also respected the characters in the film, which is the best character wise. I was actually cheering for each and every one of them.
Godzilla King of the Monsters.
Each major monster gets at least one scene to show off just how cool, awesome, and otherwise, amazing they were. Mothra got the Waterfall, Cloudburst, and Sacrifice. Rodan had his Dogfight. Ghidorah had his many fights with Godzilla and his Alpha Call, while Godzilla had his Fights with Ghidorah, and his Burning form. Each time, they payed homage to the past, while respecting the monsters as they are now. Furthermore, they also respected the characters within the film, whether they were good or not. Serizawa and his sacrifice was one of the best scenes ever, not because it was beautiful or cool looking, or any number of things that it was and wasn’t. The scene was great because it showed a man coming to peace with his demons, while respecting the power that had come from it.
GvK
My least Favorite film out of the ones listed, yet I can still respect it. King and Godzilla are given a good match that does not feel like a cop out. While Mecha goes down a bit to easily and a bit to quick for my taste, I can understand why. Otherwise, they did a decent job with the monsters.
GxK.
What does it do to respect what came before and what is to come. Did it treat the monsters less like action heroes, and more like forces of nature and characters with their own desires and wants. Was there some grand standing, greater implication for the rest of the universe. Did it do anything to progress the story. No
@@barstool9156Dude I love Godzilla, but acting like “respecting what came before” is a big part of the franchise is just ridiculous. 80% of Godzilla movies are mindless dumb fun cash grabs with little regard for the most basic continuity, let alone “what came before”. Heck if you want to look at it that way GxK pretty much paid perfect tribute to previous Godzilla films as it was a big dumb cheesy fun movie.
@@thedukeofchutney468 but Monsterverse is not just any part of the franchise, is it? Everything single film bar GxK at minimum did something that portrayed the Monsters in a way that was “respectful” (I use the word loosely as it’s the closes synonym for what I am trying to say) to what the monsters were.
These characters do have a history. Should we pay no mind to those histories, and leave them to fall back into random fan cults and theorists. How many Americans before 2014 had seen a Godzilla Movie. How many of those had seen a Japanese Godzilla film. Should we ignore the history of Godzilla in favor of making a “more appealing film” that fits a more American narrative. Should we have Godzilla look more like a Dinosaur and run from the military.
We get what Tristar made when we don’t try to “respect” or even acknowledge the past. If we treat the character as separate from where they came from, how can we expect the character to remain what makes them “them”? You might say that the film being campy was the best way to ode to the past, but I would argue that GvK and KotMs did a much better job at that. Skull Island did a great job too as it brought forward “Skull Island” and other ideas, characterizations, and elements from the previous films.
you know the perfect comparison to this is? this is the Batman & Robin to Godzilla vs. Kong's Batman Forever... Same director for both movies but since they had two different producers it was two separate films in terms of tone and look...
One major difference; For some reason people understand Batman and Robin is bad and don't defend it, while Monsterverse fans both do and don't understand it's bad and still defend it.
@@jeggsonvohees2201 OMG LOL... you are absolutely correct lol.... just admit this is pure trash the liking it isn't the issue smh..
The tone for this was really not that much different... It was just amped up.
Why are people acting like GvK was some kind cinematic masterpiece? Lol. It was just as silly as this; this one was just on steroids.
@@OrthoLou because if you delete the battle axe and middle earth things the movie is pretty solid.... stop acting like its really goofy like that when it really isn't..
It’s a movie about a Giant Gorilla with an Infinity Gauntlet and a Super Saiyan Lizard. Do you expect anything deep?
I fine with this movie and have no problem watching it again. The fact we have a lighter tone movies with go with the darker tone movie at the same time is a blessing for Godzilla fans.
So basically the MV movies that came before matter less to this movie's tone than the movie from another continuity and another company?
Yeah, no logical fallacies here, folks.
Lets be honest, we only saw the movie to see godzilla and kong throw hands
just a reminder that this franchise started with godzilla beating up cyborg space chickens, robot beetles, robot clones of himself built by aliens and also teaming up with a robot that can change sizes
Heck the franchise itself survived becuz of this direction, people would find it boring if godzilla kept attacking japan fr the 500th time
that has nothing to do with monsterverse tho lol the monsterverse is supposed to be more grounded. you can bring up the goofy godzilla eras but that’s irrelevant to this franchise.
@@charkongg 4/5 Monsterverse movies were aimed at entertainment and progressively got goofier with each entry.
@@The_Based_Batmanthose movies were more than just “entertainment” though. They had heart put into them. When your movie does nothing but provide legitimate slop, it’s safe to understand why some people don’t meatride the hell out of it like the rest of you do.

Saying that the Showa era movies are shit is really fucking stupid for him to say like yeah some of them are but some of them are absolute bangers like the first four Godzilla movies Godzilla destroy all monsters King Geedorah the three headed monster and the two Mecha Godzilla movies like come on most of those movies are pretty good
Like this is my issue with reviewers. Godzilla using his breath to fly. How was that bad? Because it doesn’t fit in the function of real life. This is fiction. So what does that mean? It means does that work within their world that’s how I look at every piece of media. If it’s not a nonfiction story, I’m not gonna judge on that. as long as it’s within its movie, it’s good enough for me.
Agreed

You people really need to take off your nostalgia goggles and understand a few things.
1) Just because Toho made it doesn't mean it's automatically good. Quite a lot of their movies were shit.
2) The thing that makes a film good is the storytelling aspect, not senseless action. Deal with it.
3) You're free to like whatever you like, but don't pretend that shit like this is good cinema. It's not.

I'm starting to realize that professional critics just hate fun. I'm also realizing that professional critics who claim to be Godzilla fans really just mean they like the serious ones, and are embarrassed by the entire Showa era. This movie is not even a fraction as silly as those movies, and still captures the same sheer fun feeling. Like you can't complain about monsters suplexing each other when the Showa era was basically WWE in rubber suits.
I paid to see monsters slap the shit out of each other in an over-the-top kaiju slobberknocker, and that's what I got. It ain't that deep, bro. It's OK for some movies be dumb.
I'm just realizing Godzilla fans are nerds who hate people who have different opinions about movies they like.
"hate fun" is just something people say when they have no arguments other than "DUDE SHUT OFF YOUR BRAIN, IT'S FUN!!! LOOK AT ALL THAT SHITTY CGI WITH A SHITTY ASS STORY!". You're an easily entertained fool. Just say that, and it will be the truth.

Its called gatekeeping. If more fandoms did it, maybe franchises like Star Wars and Doctor Who wouldn't be dying rn.
Don't call youtube critics professional critics.
@@zogwort1522 No, gatekeeping is to keep people who don't like something from coming in and changing it.
As a fan of every single Godzilla era, including the super goofy Showa era from the 60's and 70's, I absolutely enjoyed this movie. It might be the dumbest script ever put on film, but as a Godzilla and kaiju fan I couldn't be happier. Godzilla Minus One is unironically my favorite film of all time, but sometimes I just wanna have silly fun with big monsters like here.
Also, your comparison with Madame Web is misguided. In the end you should ask yourself: did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy anything in Madam Web? There is nothing to enjoy there. There is tons to enjoy in GxK. Or in the words o the great Reggie Fils-Aimé: "If it's not fun, why bother?"
Godzilla suplex was PEAK fiction.

And Pacific Rim knows how to make his Monsters feel big and heavy.
GvK and GxK don't know
@@andreamassari7954 Yeah because it had human characters with subplots and story telling with them in those 4 big ass mechs these are monsters that don't even talk and have to show emotions via facial expressions to convey some form of communication to the audience and there fighting other 2 other big ass kaijus with barely any human interaction in it, Pacific rim is a movie involved around humans making piloted robots to battle kaijus while GxK is a movie involving around 2 kaijus coming to together to save the world
Aaaannnnd it being stupid is a problem why? Is entertainment not allowed to... ya know... entertain? Because even if it's nonsensical, it's still fun. Genuinely, I've never felt this much like a kid watching a kaiju movie since Godzilla King Of The Monsters 5 years ago. And frankly, it's a feeling that has been sorely missed.
Frankly, this coming out almost immediately after Godzilla Minus One is a testament to how well loved and just how versatile Godzilla and kaiju in general has been. Both films were birthed out of a passion for the character and a love for the Showa Era, but take two completely different approaches. And frankly, I love it.
Also, sidenote, since Godzilla x Kong is more of a Kong focused movie, it's more in line with King Kong than it is with Godzilla, serving as a fun romp for people to get away from their struggles. I.E.: Escapism. Ya ever watch any of the King Kong Tv Shows or King Kong Escapes? This is more in line with that.
“They act like two legends can’t coexist!” And you could put a Asus on two for godzilla X Kong because I like that, though it doesn’t mean it’s good, though or even 😂
Also, I hope the next film is focus more on Godzilla. Or if you wanna focus more on King Kong just make a separate movie.

These big Kauji Monsterverse movies tend to be poorly written, but at the very least they don’t pretend to try to be anything more than what they are. They know *exactly* what they are and they embrace it. Besides, the monsters themselves tend to have more care put into them than the actual story.
You saw the previous 3-4 films and expected a dark melodrama about a walking natural disaster and the human experience dealing with such tragedy? You're like the same people who went into Fast and Furious 10, expecting Birdman. Guys like you have serious pretentious issues.
True dat but this movie was seriously bad. The use of Classic rock songs at certain points was cringe as fuck the worst Ive ever seen. Really made for stupid people only
Idk this wasnt a bad video, genuinely, the audio and the editing is clean its just...I dont know bland a lot of whats being said in the video kinda just boils down to "this is dumb/stupid and I dont like it, nect scene" which is cool but It just kinda feels like its just what every other critics also that one comment on how dumb it is of kong using something or someone as a weapon to defend himself, something he's known to do being an ape and has been shown to use whatever he can
The difference between Godzilla x Kong being stupid and every other big studio movie being stupid is that GxK at least has the respect for the audience to not even pretend that it isn’t stupid.
bro went to a movie about a giant lizard and giant monkey teaming up and is mad that its stupid. What did you expect? i know godzilla has some awesome movies but it also has silly ones.

The silly ones are the ones considered low points in the series both critically and financially. There's a reason every time Toho tried to bring Godzilla back in 1984, 2000 and 2014, they try to make it a serious movie with a decently written plot.
This movie isn't a cinematic masterpiece with meaningful messages like -1, but that doesn't make it stupid, gxk shouldn't be hated on for just being goofy fun

It all depends on what kind of mood I'm in, it's not that deep bro......
why do so many "critics" on youtube have such a stick up their ass, i dont get the hate for this film it was pretty fun
Because they are critics would be my guess
because none of them have ever watched a Godzilla film outside of Shin and Minus One, they get on a high horse and think they know what Godzilla is supposed to be and completely ignore the 27+ other films made before Minus One that were just like GxK. Quite frankly, Minus One was extremely subpar and deserves more criticism than any MV film but all these "fans" want to act like it is gods gift to the world of cinema. Minus One is literally the same rehashed garbo story from nearly every Heisei era with a splash of 1954, it's nothing new, it's nothing innovative, and it certainly is nothing entertaining aside from the VERY LITTLE Godzilla moments we get to see. For a Godzilla movie, there's barely any of him in it, it's one of the shortest screen times he's ever had in a film. The film relies heavily on human drama and Japan's absolute need to victimize itself from WWII. I honestly don't understand the undying love for a mediocre film and the innate NEED for it's fans to gatekeep what Godzilla should and shouldn't be in cinema. These people are the most toxic, narcissistic, entitled trash I've ever seen in a franchise.
That being said, the GxK was a really fun and great film, every film in the MV has been pretty good but it's people like this wanna-be Doktor Skipper that trash on something they have absolutely no knowledge in.
@@hyattonwyattboys haven't watched both of these movies yet, but I have to assume the "Godzilla is the consequences of nuclear power" was just so refreshing at the time, most people had watched the "Giant Monsters beat other giant monsters" already. minus one from the clips i've seen looks like 1954 but modernized.
Because they want every movie that comes out to be a 10/10 blockbuster masterpiece
it's basically a modern 1954, but with less compelling human counter-parts. It is more of a melo-drama about Japan surviving the war, for all intent purposes it is a human movie through-and-through, Godzilla just happens to be in it for 11 minutes or less and not even until an hour into the film which is a two hour movie. It is a very slow film and I'd honestly call it a borefest--- but some people are into the melo-drama stuff, and that's cool too, but going into a movie called GODZILLA, I'd expect to see Godzilla and not a whole bunch human drama which honestly is quite propagandist about Japan in WWII. All in all, it's a good movie for what it is, but I honestly do not believe, for a single second, it deserves the praise it is getting-- not by any means, and to compare it to MV is absolute dog water logic when the genres are VERY different in contrast.@@MrMango-ci9qv

@@knightmare_editsYou’re kidding right. I loved minus one but it’s both reductive and, frankly, stupid to act like all kaiju/Godzilla movies should be like it. Just like it would be dumb to say all superhero movies should be like Spider-Man 2 or The Dark Knight. Verity is the spice of life and the reason Godzilla has lasted for half a century is that he can be anything from a walking metaphor to essentially a superhero.

Oh and you saying this film is bad when GvK was awful due to MG just being shoehorned into the plot when the plot could of been simple with Godzilla sensing kong due to the storm destroying skull island and forcing the humans to move him and they catch wind of hollow earths existence so they try sending him there and Godzilla proceeds to still hunt him down due to Kong being one of the few last awake alpha level titans
Btw as for the whole tooth ache thing, how does that even ‘waste time’ when it’s just a side thing. It’s just a bit of a unique thing for this film. It’s like random dialogue characters have. Is random dialogue about a future thing really that bad? Is the tooth ache kong had really that much of a gripe? Meanwhile as well at the end when Kong keeps Skar from getting the Crystal he bites Skar with the side of the teeth that had the metal tooth. That really helped out in terms of that scene too since as we all know, metal that’s sharp like that REALLY HURTS lol.
So I’m sorry but already your points are stupid, and the fact you said you defended GVK and yet you call out this film which obviously isn’t taking itself seriously and actually has better character development then GVK is shocking.

I hate when critics say the monsterverse is ''awful and boring'' compared to Minus One both are seperate movies about Godzilla , this is why Godzilla is still iconic.If we had Minus One over and over again the franchise will lose steam and die out.
I didn’t say anything like that. Sounds like you definitely watched the video.
The reaction to this video is crazy 😭 people insulting for giving your opinion
1. The tooth ache plot device: well I thought it did well to show the contrast in how Kong’s relationship with humans has changed from Godzilla Vs Kong to now. Homie went from held in captivity and chains to willingly going and listening.
2. We thought we knew of all animals on the surface: well yeah they’re talking about the crust layer of the earth but that sounds dumb to say because now there’s a another layers beneath the surface. I feel like this one’s pretty self explanatory.
3. Over the top cartoony action and colors: I mean it’s a movie about two kaiju duking it out and teaming. I feel like if it was “realistic” it would be very bland and fights wouldn’t be as hype.
4 comedy podcast guy: yeah he really didn’t need to be in the movie
5 pilot dying: they literally go to contact monarch about the situation and evacuate. But the girl then then tells them they’re close so they go on instead. Did he need to die no, was it dumb they continue on yeah.
6 they attack Godzilla: I mean he is going for a nuclear plant and it’s unclear what a giant kaiju plans to do. But once they figure out he’s absorbing it they just monitor what’s he’s doing/where’s he’s going. I think it’s understandable that they would retaliate in some way when your nuclear facility is being attacked in anyway rather then bending over even if it’s Godzilla.
I could go on but can’t be asked when takes r this bad.
The moment the small monkey brings kong his axe from under. Full circle character development. Bravo directors my emotions was in the movie. It was awesome
I left this on other posts but For me personally I’d give the movie a 6/10. I still enjoyed it and the fights were pretty cool to watch but it feels like it takes the issues of GvK and kinda amplifies them by a ton. Human characters aside from Jia feel like plot devices to push the story forward, the movie is incredibly fast paced so there isn’t a lot of time to savor a lot of moments, vfx wise while not terrible feels somewhat like a downgrade to what we got previously, and godzilla doesn’t really get as much development as Kong does in this film. Huge issue is that I think they leaned into their showa roots a little too much in this movie Imao. Imo the whole Showa vibe just doesn’t really work with the MV when u look at how it started vs how it’s going. I don’t mind dumb fun but I think they went a little overboard with this film lol. I think if they leaned into their heisei roots kinda like how Kotm did I think it would’ve been a little better. Overall I still had fun with it but I think it would’ve been better if this was a King Kong movie instead of a crossover film

Do you not understand there are two types of Godzilla movies there’s the dark sinister Godzilla is the antagonist and fully destructive towards humanity and then there’s the Godzilla Showa era where Godzilla is an antihero or protagonist and just destroys monsters this movie is reminiscent of the Showa era. What do you fools not understand about this. For Godzilla fans, this is the other side of Godzilla minus one that everybody wants monsters, main characters, putting the beat down on each other. This is not meant to be competing with Godzilla minus one it is a completely different style of film and if you can’t understand that then you can’t appreciate it and I wonder if you have any understanding of the Godzilla franchise and fandom.
You're not a cynic you're a snob. The way Kong got the glove made sense in the film. He had frost bite and a bad injury to his hand. Godzilla went around powering himself up before the end fight.

Stakes were non existent and people even predicted what would happen in the end because almost every scene was revealed in tv spots and trailers. 6/10 for me and thats generous, this movie seems more for children now than ever. I still respect this movie for what it is tho a spectacle that you enjoy and not think about too much after you leave the theater.
Both films were more Kong films than Godzilla films... If anything, Godzilla gets more time and "character" moments in this one.
Actually, I felt pretty good about the movie after it ended.
Threat neutralized.
Shimo freed and on the good guy side.
Kong has a new family.
Gojira goes into a deep sleep...ready to kick anyone's @$$ who dares to threaten the earth.
The world is safe...for now.
Excellent ending.
I disagree with this guy but at least he was honest and showed his thoughts to a army of big monsters fighting fans.
"...no character to connect to". I disagree... Kong is that character to connect to. Making one of the monsters the main character was the smart decision rather than trying to focus on boring human characters in a monster movie.
Yeah, it's a shame so much of the movie is wasted on the boring human characters, especially Echo.
I bet Dr.skipper is happy someone is gonna take his place for biggest Monsterverse L take ever
I still think Dr Skippers dumbass take was way worse but this can be a crisp 2nd place

This movie sucks, cope and seethe about it.
You gotta be stupid expecting The Godfather 4 when walking into this movie.
I expected it to be like GvK
Ayoooooooo😂
@@genjilucasstudio3041it was better
You gotta be stupid to assume that anyone hoping for a competent movie that ends up with just a dumb and arguably bad one is too picky. Let a guy have his own harmless opinions, geez.
My 10 year old son and I had a blast watching this last night. We didn’t go to the theater to see a serious movie about fake monsters, we went to eat popcorn and candy and enjoy each other’s company and just relax while Godzilla and Kong did what they do best. Not much thought has to be put into these movies as a viewer, the same should apply to reviews.
Movie cynic getting absolutly torn to shreds in the comments just because he gave his opinion is honestly mind boggling. Like, I´m a huge godzilla fan and I loved this movie, but people are allowed to have opinions, right?
He’s one of those Anti-Woke Redpilled sigmas. Those are really pathetic people.
Even if their opinions is downright horrendous and horribly misinformed?
Eh, I don't think it's very good review, but yeah, it's not really something to be upset about.
"Godzilla x Kong is F***ing Stupid." I bet and I'm here for it. Can't wait to see it XD
ME: "I am going to see it."
Movie Cynic: "There is a scene where a monkey beats other monkeys by using a baby monkey as a billy club...."
ME: "I already said I am going to see it, you don't have to sell me on it."
@@johnsebok3555why did he think kong doing that was stupid? If I was kong I would have done the same thing😂
@@17denbyIt’s actually hilarious that people would think that’s stupid as chimpanzees and other primates do EXACTLY THIS in the wild.
@@thedukeofchutney468Remember that image of that Gorilla swinging the smaller one?
The movie doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s awesome. If you want something meaningful. Watch some gay shit instead.
It’s a dumb fun movie. I normally have no problem with critics having a response to films but to ones where they’re simply meant to be fun? Seriously? This film is not 1954, Shin, or Minus One. It’s simply a fun movie about a giant ape and lizard clashing with another giant ape and lizard. Loosen up a bit and have fun, good god.
So what's the Michael Bay Transformers then? Why does this franchise get a pass for being dumb but Transformers didn't??
@@UnknownUser-gd3ls I am not a watcher of the Transformers saga so I can’t answer your question properly.
@@UnknownUser-gd3ls Transformers wasn't dumb fun before Bay, Godzilla already was dumb fun before GxK.
