I love how in every kaiju movie, helicopter pilots are overcome with an inexplicable urge to fly really really close to the monster, so that it may reach out and grab them. Instead of flying a few thousand feet above it.
True. So very true. xD At least here you might be able to handwave it as a mixture of Kong just being that much of a "WTF" moment, fight or flight kicking heavily over to fight in the heat of the moment and a desire to provide a distraction while they attempted to evac their fallen comrades.
@@sonofccn they actually tried to do that in Godzilla Raids Again, one of the old 1950s Godzilla movies, but they got swatted anyway because of the lizard’s atomic breath
Let's be honest, even though the Monsterverse movies have their flaws, you cannot deny the films have some of the best cinematography in the Kaiju movie genre.
2:50 i swear to god that the mix of colours and the remarkable cgi, and the aesthetic of that giant badass made the entire movie for me. What a fucking brillant piece of production
My opinion: this movie is the best of the monsterverse and an awesome fun time of a movie. Excellent entertaining movie. One of the best blockbusters of the 2010s
Yeah, it's a movie that gets better with each repeated viewing. It's might just be the least divisive entry in the MonsterVerse, and if it is, I can definitely see why.
Such a regret of mine to have missed the theatrical release of this movie. That shot with Kong in the sunset while the Choppers are facing him, (I suppose) was insane to watch
And this is how you do epic level cinematography and sound editing. Those shots are among the best in cinema history. It's a ballet of helicopters, someone knew how to have fun with this scene.
I love how after the first helicopter is downed the music fades back in briefly only to be stopped abruptly after kong swats the second helicopter out of the air, its excellent sound design, great way to build a false relief only to pull the rug out from the audience

Excellent movie, with a simple and entertaining presence. It's reminiscent of older action movies. Entertainment is the first objective, not everything needs a theme or a message, you're allowed to have a simple shoot-em-up popcorn fueled adventure once in awhile.
Some of my favorite films are Godzilla 2014 and Kong 2017, Kong 2017 brings mystery, terror and suspense at the same time (incredible sensation) Godzilla 2014 is darker, also mysterious, giant and Terrifying and scary, I love these two films (not like the new ones are bad, I like the new ones too) but these two films brought a unique feeling!!
Outstanding cinematography!! I am just missing a few real close-ups with bold close-ups of the helicopters while in slow motion similar to David Fincher style.
I'm currently watching The monsterverse movies in chronological order and this is a great start to a franchise!! I know Godzilla 2014 came first, but I think this should be watched first!
Great song even greater movie and cinematography this is a classic. I have a thing where I get goosebumps whenever I listen to a song I really like and this is one of the few that gives me those goosebumps and that how I decide what songs I like and dislike this is one of my favorites
Kong: Hey is anyone out there dropping bombs on my house? Military: Yeah it's for scien- Kong: Stop that!! (*THROWING TREES AND SMACKING SHIT INTENSIFIES*)

There’s a whole sound system dedicated to just one chopper, ah yes. America.
one of the best sound mixing in movies
I love the scene so much. The helicopter rotors sound so epic in slow motion
That very first shot where the dragon fly looks like its flying in formation with the choppers is so ingenious.
One of the top 5 coolest scene I have seen in any film in the past 10 years. Hands down
The song choice could not have been more flawless and perfect
Btw, 2:50 one of the greatest cinematic scenes in movie history

Absolutely the best scene with the sunset and Kong
Also the beginning of the song
Gives off a Vietnam vibe
1:47 It took their sweet ass time to notice something coming towards their chopper? Aren't they trained pilots who where in Vietnam avoiding gun fire and RPGs?
Exzerno they didn’t expect any threat like that, plus they had a split second to react to that tree
script, they also used the fox terminology wrong, fox 2 is when an infrared missile is fired
they took 3.85 seconds to not notice jack shit which was in front of them
The technical BOOMSTICK They were using them as the Callsign thing for their group, With Jets Fox 2 is that, but these guys were Fox Group. Sure they probably shouldn’t be using Fox as their groups callsign because of the reason you mentioned, but they technically aren’t using it wrong for their situation, as I have to believe these Hueys weren’t equipped with Infrared Missiles
In Vietnam they knew there were enemies, they were expecting gunfire, they were expecting RPGs, they were prepared and ready for the fight....But here, in a no-man's land, who would've thought that something is gonna fire a tree on their helicopter 😂
