- After a King Kong centric prequel things return to Godzilla himself in Godzilla: King of the Monsters! The idea with this Monsterverse entry being to bring in other legendary creatures including King Ghidora, Mothra, Rodan and for one gigantic epic battle. And sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

#Godzilla #KingKong #Monarch - บันเทิง
It’s still such a missed opportunity that Charles Dance isn’t just older Tom Hiddleston who’s pissed off after working for Monarch for 40 years and achieving nothing
I was convinced he would be! Especially with the Monarch show and everything, it'd give them a cool human antagonist. And he never died either, lets them write an ending for him.
Agreed.
Holy shit I’ve said this for years. I literally thought I was the only one who that this
Holy fuck. Dude. YES
I think about this every time these movies come up!
"Sally Paddington, what's her name? She was in Shape of Water" might just be the most James thing to ever have been Jamesed.
Mixed reception aside, I really appreciate the way they reinvent and animate the classic Toho monsters into a modern setting. They look recognizable, but they have their unique characteristics to this universe, like Rodan being so hot that his skin is literally made of magma, or Ghidorah being so alien to earth's ecosystem that he causes storms just from his presence alone.
Don’t forget our beautiful queen Mothra
I remember reading the storms are caused by ghidorah’s wings being so powerful they affect weather patterns & his scales are laced with gold that promote lightning.
The fucking storm system surround Ghidorah, lightning striking to show you his shadow in the clouds was so badass.
I personally HATE the Hollywood versions of Godzilla movies. No fun for me at all, and I think most of our American blockbusters are too STUPID for me to watch. If I want to see this much CGI, I'll play a video game.
@@bigatomicsloth3369 I agree. I was severely disappointed in how much CGI was present in the movie. I mean, according to leaked transcripts from the director, he was actually approached by the REAL Ghidorah and Godzilla, who both wanted to play themselves in the movie, but they were replaced by computer animated doubles. Such a shame that they couldn't get the real monsters.
My favorite part about this movie has to be the soundtrack, it is PHENOMENAL. It’s some of Bear McCreary’s best work imo!
His rendition of "Go Go Godzilla" with Serj Tankian from System Of A Down goes hard as fuck.
@@decepticonmecha I was surprised they didnt talk about that
@@decepticonmechaI think it felt too "movie soundtrack cover". Solid enough, but loses a lot of the spirit of the BOC song
@@StudioInkblot I guess. But, for me, it made the end credits more epic.
Ah I love the banter between mr Sunday and mr Tuesday. Keeps me coming back every week
I laughed so hard when I saw "Mr Tuesday"
@@isodynomical it killed me! Props to the master editors who make these videos for going the extra mile
I was co-ordinating one of the VFX teams for this film and it still stands as the most excruciating project any of us has worked on. One of the supes brought in a box of Godzilla shaped stress toys to try and lighten the mood, which did actually help because we destroyed several of them. Have never been able to enjoy this movie because of that experience, but have had fun with all the other Monsterverse films, so I dunno, maybe it's good.
You and the teams work is greatly appreciated and was fantastic to see on the big screen even if it made yall miserable. Hate to hear that part mate.
@@WillTheGreatest It was certainly an experience, and we all learned a lot about egos 😅
Got any interesting BTS stories about working on the movie?
@@zeronightex Ok, so there’s one shot in there that had-no exaggeration-236 revisions. And it’s not one you would expect. Literally, it’s an establishing shot panning from some foreground science facilities in the jungle to Mothra’s temple. The artist was being driven insane by the notes on this incredibly simple shot. Was on it for WEEKS. And then they removed it from the film. Poor guy suffered endlessly only for it to be cut. And then, with three weeks to deadline, it got revived and was back in. They ended up using something like version 18. Absolute torture.
Some of the best people who I’m still in contact with are crushing it on the AppleTV show atm. But I know a few people who entirely left the industry as a result of King of Monsters.
Needed less smoke and water covering the screen. So annoying
17:23
2 Things:
Firstly, Mason should be officially reffered to as Mr. Tuesday Movies.
Secondly, him saying "And who knows, maybe there's a kaiju with a kitchen sink in there too" is one of the most Mason things that was ever said.
Stay geeky, folks!
Maso can't become Mr. Tuesday Movies because they're technically married then and James wouldn't dare share his millions in podcast celebrity profit with him.
The "magnificent and incomparable" Mr Tuesday Movies.
The real question is, are ‘yall’ saying ‘toozdee’ or ‘Tuesday’?
James saying 'stay geeky folks' in the ai script is so cursed
Release the AI cut
I hate that him calling Maso Mr. Tuesday is 100% something that could happen
"Bad". Not "cursed". The word is "Bad".
Grab dat geeky folks
That entire script was just weird. It read like a weird morning show on tv was reviewing a movie.
“Big dumb dogs” is such a funny and accurate way to describe these monsters.
The people from WWE are the real big dumb dogs 👿
It's actually funny because in the Skull Island animated series on Netflix there is a skull island Kaiju thing that's a big dumb bulldog and he's kinda rad honestly
Identifying the film style as blue and mushy was actually a purposeful choice. While choosing the best Breaking Bad style filter for the Rodan scenes, the visual coordinator pitched an idea for cooler tones to take over while Godzilla was on screen. The idea was received so well that the working title for all Godzilla parts were termed Blue Harvests!
It's a shame that this bit is gone 😂
you bastard
i fucking KNEW where this was going and yet i read it anyway. FUCK.
Saw this one coming, but a great read all the same.😂
Ya got me😂
James and Mason have such good chemistry, and the visuals Ben and Lawrence pair with the ridiculous commentary is nothing short of art.
I love this channel.
Who are James and Mason? Did you mean Mr Sunday and Mr Tuesday?
@@RoguSpanish Yes, sorry. I misspoke.
I love this movie, no matter what anyone says. I had a BLAST seeing it in theaters.
Godzilla vs Ghidora felt gigantic, and I'll always appreciate how fun the experience was.
I know this movie gets clowned on by a lot of people but I love this movie so much, it’s just a fun monster movie with an incredible soundtrack and beautiful shots. Love the video as always mates!
So messed up thing about ghidorah,each of his heads have their own cell structure that allows each one to function even when decapitated,so during that entire death scene, Ghidorah felt everything. The decapitation, Godzilla's jaws gripping his wounds, and the atomic breath(until it reached the brain of course). Easily the most grusome death in the monsterverse as of yet
This comment gave me the urge to take your lunch money and shove you into a locker
Thank you! Finally, somebody else points out how humiliating and painful that death was for Ghidorah.
I really hated how they tried to give Vera Farmiga a completely undeserved redemption arc. Most of the events of the movie are entirely her fault and spends most of the movie completely on board with Charles Dance’s plan, then completely out of the blue changes her mind in the final 10 minutes
This, she’s the most sloppily handled character in the movie and I feel like people who call the human plot bad are really talking about her specifically but shitting on everything else anyway despite many of the other characters being quite strong because…. I guess we have to maintain the narrative that human characters in Kaiju movies always suck even though that’s been untrue since at least 1954?
@@Cdr2002it's definitely true in this one. I don't think a single person in this movie had a interesting personality
@@davidtaylor142 if that’s how you feel that’s fair, but I can’t say I agree, and to be honest it gets kinda annoying how movie discourse always descends into “state your opinion as though it objective fact.”
I thought the human antagonists were weak but found the human protagonists charming
Right? I was glad she got deep fried by Godzilla.
It was her plan in the movie that Charles Dance was following, not the other way around. While I don’t feel that it was completely deserved, her character’s redemption was more a side-effect of what happened in the movie. She needed to buy time for her family to get away from Ghidorah by luring him away with the Orca (the animal call generator). Even if she had left it in a vehicle without a driver, Ghidorah would’ve lost interest in it too quickly and blown her and her family out of the sky. Someone had to die, and it just happened to be her.
AI James did the "So Maso, what was the movie about?" in the form of "Let's hit em with that brief plot rundown" to Mr. Tuesday
I love it when I hear Mr. Sunday and Mr. Tuesday talk about a movie
I love this movie if only for the scene where the original Godzilla theme plays while Godzilla and Ghidora run at each other, that’s one of the coolest moments in a movie for me
My favorite part is when the main characters keep staring at the giant monsters instead of trying to get to a safe distance.
I would definitely get stepped on because i wouldn't be able to look away.
@@NateBeeman"Step on me, Scaley Sensei uWu"
@@marmalarOh no! Not like that! Lol
I imagine it's like a biblically accurate angel thing. Your brain just wouldn't be able to comprehend what you're seeing
@@exzyyd392 I'd say its more like free tickets to a Monster Truck show, like yea you probably got better things to do but are you really going to miss the opportunity to watch it in person just because you might die?
I think the movie's references to the first 3 eras of Toho G films is why fans really like this film and general audiences find it middling. It is very much a fan's movie, from Burning Godzilla to the OG Monster Zero origin, the Shobijin being given a very quick and you'll miss it nod. And even as a fan there are things I wish got cooked a little longer for the film, such as the Oxygen Destroyer - a main plot device from the 1954 OG film, and it would have been even better if Dr. Serizawa had been instrumental in both its make and if he had chosen the nuke over using the destroyer instead.
Like I said, great film for fans of the the franchise, but man it rushes in some places and goes too slowly in others.
Also Bear McCreary's score is fuckin amazing. 11/10
Fun fact: Godzilla's roar is actually a slowed down and heavilly distorted " rodneyyyyyyyy"
The AI calling Mason "Mr Tuesday" ended me instantly, I no longer exist goodbye
beautiful how in Japan, Godzilla was originally a man-made evil, allegorical for the destructive force of atomic bombs. today in America, Godzilla is a big awesome lizard who's a good boy and gets Bonus Power from nuclear bombs
Big Ghidora fan here, this made my day! Ik its not perfect but it felt like i was watching a saturday morning cartoon :)
This.
@@StarShopping69Is this TH-cam or Reddit?
Editing is on point today 😂
I remember liking the monster stuff and forgetting the rest, then eventually forgetting the whole movie.
I forgot about the "the game is on!" part
Dam that is the most perfect review of those film I've heard 👏
As someone from Massachusetts, I spent the climax playing the "How accurate is this geography" game... it did a good job lol
All I want from these movies is loads of monsters fighting each other and this one gave me exactly that and even made me sort of enjoy a big gross moth. 10/10.
This is why this is my favorite movie of the 4 so far, Kong Skull Island has better plot but I can rewatch these fights any day
He's cute not gross.
@@adamplentl5588 As far as I'm concerned all moths are gross, they're made of dust and goo. Horrid.
check out GMK or Final Wars of you like your kaiju action packed with fighting!
I just want gigan
Another great episode Mr. Sunday and Mr. Tuesday!
Petition for Mason to change his name to "Mr.Tuesday"
I second this
The shot of Ghidorah in the burning city with the cross in the foreground makes me burst out laughing every time. This whole franchise sells over-the-top nonsense really well; it's nice to see something like that played straight, without some guy named Chris going "Plese tell me tht didn't just happen?!"
I weirdly do think making this two movies would have been better, because I feel so much happens in this movie but we don't really get time to develop a lot of it, especially Mothra, the various other Monsters and the idea that Ghidorah briefly takes over.
I imagine you could have part 1 focus more on Godzilla and ghidorah, ending when Godzilla gets defeated then open the next movie up and its pure monster chaos everywhere.
It'd be like Infinity war and Endgame with big lizards. I don't think it would fix the lackluster human cast though
Ah yes, my favourite Mr Sunday Movies catchphrase: “Stay Geeky, folks!”
I could've sworn this was the one with Kong. This is such a perfect popcorn flick, so forgettable and well made. Love it.
Love how the movie starts just like the Roland Emeric one. The main character is studying wildlife only for a helicopter to show up with government agents in it telling him he’s being reassigned.
In my head-canon, Charles Dance plays the same character in this as Dracula Untold
I really enjoyed this, it's my favourite of the modern monsterverse, possibly because I grew up with this franchise and so many of the classic creatures are featured here. There's tons of great touches for Toho fans too - Mothra's wings mimicking Godzilla's eyes, Bear McCreary’s score draws direct inspiration from Akira Ifukube’s and Yuuji Kouseki’s old soundtracks, just as many of the monster noises are taken from the original films and "upscaled". To casual cinema goers this won't matter a jot, and there's no denying the script is a bit lacklustre, but the level of detail and love lavished on the film's real stars is evident to us old timers and that elevates it above your average blockbuster effects movie.
When I saw the shot with Ghidorah and the cross my jaw dropped to how cool it was. It does have a meaning. Ghidorah is also known as The Demon of the Galaxy, so it's pretty easy to connect demon and the cross. For the Monsterverse I like Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla VS. Kong and then Kong: Skull Island.
I remember seeing this in 3-D at my theater (it was the only showing I could make). Man I love these movies so much. Been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid and love all the Toho films as well. But it’s so cool to see this monsterverse grow into something cool. The Monarch show is good so far, Godzilla -1.0 comes to American theaters tomorrow (will be there to see that as well. Fingers crossed for a sub version though lol). It’s good to be a Godzilla fan right now
I love this movie. To me, the human characters are the best in the entire Monsterverse, Mark is the ONLY protagonist with an actual character arc and Serizawa is far better than in G14, with a great sacrifice scene. Plus, Ghidorah was a great villain, and all kaiju and fights were amazing, a perfect mix between the G14 and GvK styles.
Mark was a Gary Stu. I just couldn't get on board with him. He's giving strategic commands to the military. He's the most helpful character in every scene he is in and solves ALL the problems. Character arc or not, he wasn't a believable character. He was an action hero facade in a Godzilla movie. I would even argue Slivko from Kong: Skull Island has a more believable arc than him.
There some of the worse in Godzilla history, half don't even have anything to do but just stand there. Rick in the script was literally titled "Rick Sanchez Parody"
@@damonlongstreet8630 fake, I watched all japanese Godzilla movies, and I found 90% of their characters bland and forgettable.
@ultronemperor3525 Don't worry about him. It's all opinion based. Personally, I think Godzilla: KotM is a flawed but fun thriller of a film. However, I won't judge one's opinion of the film poorly because it's different from mine.
@clintmcbride7830 he gives strategic advice primarily based on his knowledge of animal patterns and behaviors. Which is why they recruited him kn the first place
Ken Wattanabe took a lead lined fridge so he could survive the nuclear explosion
A 1950’s lead-lined fridge. 😂
I forget literally everything involving the main cast, but I loved every scene with the monsters
I think the issue with scale is moreso due to how the battles are framed. Most of the fights from the first movie are framed as if from a human perspective. Most of the fights either follow the humans with the monsters in the background or pan up from the ground. This movie zooms out and is trying to fit the whole monsters on screen at once making look more like the cities and people are minitures in a sense. Its focusing less on the spectacle of giant monsters and more on the action of the fights.
This movie was definitely more of an homage to the Godzilla and kaiju movies from the sixties and seventies. A somewhat silly sci-fi plot that enables the monsters to fight with characters just bearable enough to give us breaks in between the action.
That would probably be because they listened to people who either have delusions about old Godzilla movies or haven't many cry about how they didn't show enough fighting
As a massive godzilla fan my entire life, this movie is the ultimate love letter to the franchise, everyone involved perfectly understood the assignment, from the music to the designs to the choreography, the true spirit of Godzilla permeates the entire thing
It's not the best film with Godzilla, but it is the perfect Godzilla film
No, they turned buring Godzilla in a Mario Star
Bro this movie was the weakest of the 4 films. Yeah it has lots of monsters but it wasn't executed the best. I'd rather of had Gareth Edwards direct it instead.
This movie made me burn my Godzilla collection
I’m with you, I’ve been watching Godzilla since I was like 2 (1996) my first Godzilla movie was the original (in Japanese for some reason, got it from Blockbuster I think) the monster movie genre isn’t and shouldn’t be viewed as the height of cinema, but this movie was absolutely a triumph within the genre. I by far think GvK is the weakest (while I still enjoyed it) but this gave me the adrenaline and excitement I felt as a kid watching the “Godzilla vs…” movies.
The Godzilla movies are in to distinct categories imo. Action focused and Narrative focused. I love both and I think both dedicated legendary movies fit in to their respective categories very well.
Dude this is one of the worst godzilla films since the 70s. It's like the writers polled their toddlers for inspiration and then slapped a bunch of names on stuff without actually understanding the significance they had in the original run of films
I can't believe James forgot Charles Dance was in his favorite movie, Ghostbusters 2016.
They love him after dracula "let the games begin"
I liked it
The way they treat the oxygen destroyer as a throw away line in a bloated uncoordinated action sequence is criminal. Completely robs the thematic weight it had in the original run of films.
3:06 we got another dr who clip in this ongoing saga: whereby editing together the 1 who clip in almost every recent caravan episode we can create a Dr who caravan of garbage
(Ps guys if you want to you could review the 90s Dr who movie, that would be stupid in the best possible ways!)
The sperm editing joke and James calling her Sally Paddington had me rolling
This is by far my favourite Monsterverse movie. Just showing the monsters as godlike beings with the reverance they deserve.
Irreverence?
You know what, I believe you.
The trailer with Clair de Lune did it perfectly
Yepp it's intentionally bad like it should it's the the Godzilla equivalent of Transformers revenge of the fallen I love it ❤
legues better than gvk and a bit better than the first
95% of the movie is horrible human drama though
You guys have grown to become my favourite TH-camrs over the last year or so.
Love it when you do a feature on franchises I enjoy! (Be nice if you did a run through Monarch when that ends, even tho is a series)
But yeah, keep up the good work lads!
I’m glad I was shown them like 10 years ago
I love that you used a clip from the Miracle Maker. I didn't know anybody else on earth had seen that.
As a fan of King Ghidorah, I was pleased by the film. If you were looking for things to trim? Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown. Give Ken Watanabe and Zhang Ziyi the lead human roles. Lastly, make Charles Dance's character the inventor of the machine.
That would fix most of this films problems.
Still one of the best trailers of all time. Had me thinking the movie was going to change my life. The trailer should have been nominated for Best Film.
It’s the music 🔥
The theatre I was in did an ovation when it finished
I actually really enjoyed this one. I know it didn't perform critically or commercially the same as Godzilla '14, but this was the perfect monster movie IMO. Compelling human characters and tons of monster action. What more could you ask for?
The human characters are legitimately some of the worst written and most predictable I have ever seen in a movie in my life
@@davidtaylor142True, the monsters fights are pretty good but damn these characters and the writing ruined this movie, this had a lot of potential and the Ken Watanabe scene is maybe the best of the movie but like G14 they killed the best character to follow way less interesting characters for the rest of the movie
big same
A more developed villain would have been nice, like Charlse Danse is totally cool with Ghidorah destroying the world for SOME REASON, like it's not even just spite, his character just runs out of screen time and he just peaces out.
@@davidtaylor142completely agree the dialogue was driving me crazy with the constant attempts at marvel quips. Also the tech guy looks so much like Martian scorsese it's distracting.
This came out the same summer as MIB: International and X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
An abysmal summer for blockbusters.
I remember Millie Bobby browns stupid smirk as Godzilla hauls ass towards king ghidorah and thinking
“WHY ARE YOU SMIRKING AND HAPPY?? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RUN!!”
He wrote it for her AND her and Godzilla where gonna be connected telepathically, I wise I was kidding.
How do you guys have such talented editors? Like how do they have time to find this stuff? The look on the mocap guy's face when Mason said the right head of King Ghidora was the sarcastic one was hilarious.
I honestly don’t remember much of the film myself, but that end credit song was awesome!
It's actually Dethklok playing with Serj
Remember when Kong said: “Godzilla built this in a cave!! With a box of scraps!!”
the visual references, sound, design, & editing are exquisite here.
I'm kinda surprised that they didn't talk about the lady's insane plan on trying to basically wipeout the world with monsters and let it start over again since nature began to overgrow the city Godzilla and the Muto fought in.
So who of the editors is the Doctor Who fan?😂 Been rewatching old eps and lots of Doctor who moments…
I like how the Crouching Tiger gal is in this movie, just to be a glossary of all the monster names.
Vera Farmiga's turn from villain-responsible-for-mass- genocide to mom-hero-martyr has gotta be some sorta record.
For me this video is coming out at 3:30 am and I only woke up to pee. But now I am here... waiting...
I love Mr Tuesday so much
"Sally Paddington" for Sally Hawkins' name. will probably be brought back up once the review for 'Wonka' (2023) pops up.
The electronic overlay on James' "Oh my God" at 0:10
This movie has its flaws, but I still appreciate it. Dougherty wears his love for Godzilla on his sleeve, and it shows in the movie. He does an immaculate job of making the creatures feel like characters in their own right. And i ADORE how this movie keys in on depicting the monsters as majestic and often beautiful, and not just monstrous.
Except he turned Godzilla into a superhero deity instead of simply just a metaphorical force of nature like he’s supposed to be. He completely missed the point of the character and just made stupid fan fiction.
@@shinndig1293 i'd argue the entire point of the movie's thematic core and visual language is that the titans, godzilla included, are not pure good or pure evil. They can be equally beautiful as they are viscious. Monsters can be benevolent, and humans can be cruel. Like the main message of the movie from my reading, is that anyone has the capacity for both good and evil
He accidentally made it a pro nuke movie, When Godzillas intire experience is a metaphor for nuclear destruction
@@damonlongstreet8630 ???
@@eiriksundby ? To which part
0:40 we don't get the revelation that the earth is hollow in this, that's in Kong: Skull Island
It's the part in KOTM when they were following godzilla and he suddenly disappeared. The scientist says "I knew it, it's like a wormhole!"
But it was blink and you miss it type of scene that should've meant way more than it did.
@@TheDRexor oh I know the scene, but hollow earth was established in the previous Kong movie
@@Luissv72 gotcha but it's as if it was still a hypothesis. That's why exposition dumps aren't good story telling
The editing gag in which Godzilla takes his atomic breath to the gun range was hilarious 😂
Big Godzilla fan here... (just saw Minus One last night REALLY hope you guys get to see it and discuss on the pod!!!!)... Having come off the first two installments, and waiting to see Hollywood takes on the classic Kaiju's and such a solid cast... I remember walking out feeling super disappointed.. It is my X:Men Last Stand... however... like X:Men Last Stand... i've grown to kind of appreciate it maybe even daresay "Enjoy" it... lol.. still... HUGE missed opportunity.
The monster fights are epic in this movie. And the ghidorah awakening scene is incredible
Thumbs down for not throwing in a joke about Drake being the real monster that Millie Bobby Brown should fear.
I will now be referring to Maso as Mr.Tuesday movies
maybe
idk, if it still find it funny next week
Kyle Chandler is actually the only actor who's faced down 2 different versions of King Kong, having starred in 2005's Peter Jackson's King Kong. Rushing to finish production on KOTM, they actually went back and harvested several unused blue screen shots of Chandler, leading to the original name of the film being Godzilla: Blue Harvest, which was of course the working title for the original Star Wars
shame you guys weren't more into it, it's my favorite of the Monsterverse, excited to hear your thoughts on GvK
Mr Tuesday. I love it. Stay Geeky Folks.
Ken Watanabe is still alive. Deleted scene where seconds before the nukes goes off, he finds godzilla’s lead-lined fridge and hides in there Indiana Jones style.
Charles Dance is also in The Last Action Hero, which you need to cover
King of the monsters is beautifully shot. It's my favorite one in the series
James and Mason made me laugh through out watching with their jokes
Those Ghidorah mocap guys cracked me up; 'we're gonna be replaced by CGI... lets act like we're made of CGI!!!'
4:58 just unlocked a memory, i haven't seen this movies in 20 years
Despite being a fan of this movie, I still respect James and his review of this movie. Just like I respect his positive review of 2017’s Josstice League.*
*Episode 212 of The Weekly Planet podcast, around the 1:05:00 mark.
This movie rocks, but also I don't think I really get any of the symbolism because I'm too busy being confused by just how Monarch got so advanced in just 5 years while also simultaneously locking up other monsters, except all of that was in the past. But I still have to love this movie because King Ghidorah's my favorite Kaiju. The first Godzilla movie I saw was 1998 Godzilla, and I love it, but the first one I saw from Japan was Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah from 1991 and it was awesome (except I can't really tell you what happens because it's a mess and it was too long ago, but King Ghidorah was great) and I've loved him in the earlier Showa Era movies, too. I can't say that the MonsterVerse version of him does the character justice, I'm no authority, but for me, Ghidorah is the man in King of the Monsters. I'm satisfied with his death, but I wouldn't be mad if another of his species showed up.
Also that AI was completely spot on and also completely way off at the same time, I love it. Mason being Mr. Tuesday is hilarious, and I find it a little weird that he's kind of driving the discussion more than Mr. Sunday. Great stuff.
As a life long toho godzilla fan, this felt like a movie made by and for people who like the idea of godzilla movies more than the actual movies, none of the charm and substance, but boy them monsters sure be fighting! Genuinely like the monster designs tho, those kinda slap
This was a nod to the old Godzilla movies. I grew up on those so this one really landed with me. It’s my favorite of the Monsterverse by far.
Love this movie!
Very flawed, but when I was kid imagining what a big budget, polished CGI version of those old Godzilla movies would look like - this is basically the movie I imagined.
"Godzilla: King of the Monsters": Great movie, or Greatest movie? That's the real question.
James and Maso are my favorite sigmas. There's no bigger grindset than going through all the Transformers
The ai script was crazy
This movie is severely underrated. Especially for how much the mainstream audience whines about not having enough monster fights and to much human plot. Easily the best American made godzilla movie ever.
That's kind of like saying the Last Jedi was fantastic. Great monster designs and some great monster moments but the story pacing ....was like written by a 12 year old on redbull. Nothing stood out or was actually memorable as it was all just a rush to get to the next thing we are going also rush by. LOL
@@80sOGRE I mean... 12 year old on Redbull is pretty spot on for classic godzilla.
@@80sOGRE the 2014 movie was about plot and story. This one was clearly going for a different style.
It's literally filled with absolutely garbage non characters what are you on about, it was a chore to watch in cinema
Right! This movie was awesome. It was done dirty! 🐲
One of my main gripes of the movie is that they are too many redundant human characters that don't have the decency to die gruesome deaths. Like why is there like a whole squad of named soldiers if not to have them be picked off one by one? Like the only major deaths in the film are Watanabe and Hawkins and she doesn't do anything but get killed.
The film should have reduced the cast to the essential (the family, one main soldier, one pilot, one scientist other than the aformentionned two) or used the large cast as an opportunity to show off cool monster or hazard related deaths (the wind produced by Rodan propulsing a soldier in the air, Whitford getting crushed by debris when the Argo crashes etc).
Kong Skull Island really nailed that part.
Another banger from my favorite TH-camrs Mr Sunday and Mr Tuesday.
The sad thing is I think Godzilla vs kong aka the next movie suffers from a lot of the same things this movie does maybe even worse. I think it’s quite boring for such a big matchup but the fight scenes are also probably some of the best in the franchise and I think it’s because of this movie they realised that they were obstructing the vision too much in this movie and went for a super stylised awesome fight at the end. Unfortunately they didn’t learn that no one fucking cares about the humans and they decided hm you know what this King Kong va Godzilla movie needs? Two seperate human plots!!!! And one of them ain’t even military.
This movie is definitely most let down by its human plot, in 2014 Bryan Cranston created something for the audience to care about. They got a solid cast for KOTM but there's very little to care about between the family or with Charles Dance's group, making his character an older version of Tom Hiddleston would've been a simple way for us to have some investment in their plight. At least GvK dispenses with all of that and mostly goes for pure schlock. There are also way too many bad jokes from glasses guy. Fortunately Serizawa gets a nice sendoff with his sacrifice to supercharge Godzilla
Transitioning from the Dog-Butt "Fatality" to the "Chicken Fighting" clip...I picked a bad time to be drinking coffee. Good job, Editors! (But not doing a photoshop for the "Godzilla's Podcast" bit is a missed opportunity. I wanna see Godzilla with headphones and a mic talking to , I dunno, Jet jaguar, or something.)
I grew up with Godzilla movies, so I can confirm that I feel like this film was made for me. Seeing my favorite monsters duke it out with high-budget CGI was everything I'd ever wanted from a Hollywood Godzilla movie. I can completely understand critisisms of it, but I came away very satisfied.
This is my favorite Godzilla movie. I seriously watch it twice a year. I'll never understand why it fell so flat
This film is so awesome!
I don’t care for popcorn, but when I saw this in theaters I was shoveling popcorn into my maw the entire time.
