The original 5 hour script had orca z like in kotm Godzilla is possessed by the orca z aka the orca and they put a device on the back of Godzilla like in the toys leak called mega Godzilla and they used the device on Godzilla’s back to power Mechagodzilla
I'm not expecting it to be an arthouse cinema,i'm only expecting it to have atleast decent story and characters. The only good part of this movie is the fight scenes
I wish the other Monsterverse films went with the B-movie slasher vibe that Kong: Skull Island had. The first 20-30 minutes are slow, but once they get to the island it was a blast from beginning to end. Really underrated entry, imo.
@@tylerriggs7989 wtf KOTM??? Everyone I know including me and the comment above me all agree KOTM was really bad. Imo it goes godzilla 2014, kong skull island, GVk, gvk and kong skull island were both around the same as good to me which means they were great, 2014 godzilla was like super good. Then KOTM was bad. The plot was quite weird and the human characters sucked
2014 still is the only one to give me literal fear and anxiety in the theaters. I’m talking about the boat end scene, the muto first hatching scene during the goggles, and the train track scene. Shit had my heart beating. Amazing direction by edwards there.
I like his atomic breath but one thing I was mad about was in GvK is for a lot of the HK battle he was just badly aiming it while Kong was actually trying to fight.
I think the point of switching to the human view is a way of making us the audience also get scared of these monsters , i mean its really immersive because we don't know anything more than the human characters
I didn’t mind the darkness during the fights in KOTM, given that it’s still visible enough, and that the storm actually make Ghidorah much more intimidating by how powerful he’d have to be to make it.
The Darkness and The weather effects of KOTM is both a strength and a weakness , It gives a Nice atmosphere to the fights and makes Ghidorah intimidating but Also sacrifices the Visibility of fights , I mean it was still visible enough but they still could've illuminate it up a bit more. GVK did it best , the neon lighting of Hong Kong was a thing of beauty , Also No weather effects , no cutaways just pure awesome action.
Skull Island was great in its technique, to have the humans and monsters interact. It gives equal screentime to both, and both can develop their arcs and their stories through these interactions.
I gotta say Tex u are probably one of the best movie youtubers. This is because u understand what the movie is trying to do and how to analyze it. Meanwhile some people try and analyze a movie like Batman v Superman like it’s supposed to be a marvel movie
I think people analysis BVS Ue Is that they don't want Batman and Superman to be indie movie characters I guess .. Sadly Basically not wanting SUPERPOWERED HEROES MOVIES AS cinema artistic movies
Like being a Marvel movie is such a HIGH standard, its not. Marvel movies can be good but they're not cinema masterpieces good aside from 2 movies arguably.

@@user-vu3ie1jv2l yeah like the first movies of the monster verse were the best, not saying the other two like godzilla king of the monsters or GvK are bad but, the humans from those movies were the worst.
I think the monsterverse has a lot of potential and is doing great so far. I want to see other monsters like Destroyah or Gigan Edit: U should make a response video on The Amazing Lucas’s review on Godzilla Vs Kong. He says that it was “utter trash” because it didn’t show enough Kong and showed more Godzilla
I love those ideas, but I have no idea how you (the person you mentioned) could think the movie had too much Godzilla and not enough Kong. I personally didn't really enjoy the movie, but for entirely different reasons.
@@Betuor the guy said that “this movie should of been called Godzilla, not Godzilla Vs Kong. Because there was not a lot of Kong at all”. He also stated that “the axe that Kong used was pointless”. And btw, he’s a Kong fan

the sound design, scale and weight in 2014 is godly and are my favorite details that really made that film for me and when they incorporated that again in king of the monsters 😩 oh man it was amazing.
@@raam726 ehh.. I liked the build up in the first godzilla movie it sets up his scale perfectly, and leaves his new look and a mystery until he finally shows up. Liked what 98 godzilla should have been but the design was pretty bad.
@@radexyz-fx8ix yeah cuz the whole point of the movie was too build him up for that final battle and show an awesome fight scene. And they did not disappoint. That fight was awesome. 98 godzilla tried to do a similar thing but the expectations they built were too high. And the film failed. Not only cuz the new design for godzilla was terrible but he didn't even fight the humans. He just ran away the whole time. So trash. Hollywood definitely redeemed themselves with the 2014 movie. Fucking spectacular. We might not have seen godzilla for that long but what we did see of him was just absolutely amazing
Godzilla 2014 wasn’t that bad, I am really connected to it because this movie made me like Godzilla, because I watched this with my dad before my family got divorced and it’s the first move I watched together with my dad.
My ranking Godzilla 2014 - Good film. Did a poor job with the dark fight scenes. Thank God for the 4K UHD blu-ray Kong: Skull Island - Dumb fun. King of the Monsters 2019 - Better than the first. And I don't mind the way the fights are shot. GvK - Easily the best in the series. I wish the best for everyone involved and the future of the franchise. #ContinueTheMonsterVerse
2014 version felt real and the physics and monster heavy movement were perfect where in GVK the visuals are amazing but the monsters feel weightless and fake
I did my own personal ranking of them recently and i had 1. KOTM 2. Kong Skull Island 3. GvK 4 Godzilla 2014 I am really into the lore of the monsterverse and the movies that expand on it the most are my favorites but i love all of them. KOTM is my favorite because of how much love and respect Michael Dougherty put into it. He really showed how much he cared about this world and the Godzilla IP imo. and also has the best antag monster in King Ghidorah. I pretty much love all of it.
The honest truth is no one expected the MonsterVerse to be this good, it is like the Cobra Kai show, better then it has any right to be. I really don’t like the 2014 Godzilla movie since it is such a waste of everyone’s time with so little Godzilla, to me the series really started with Kong Skull Island and every movie after that was great. Godzilla King of The Monsters is the movie that people expected for the 2014, lots of battles, lots of Godzilla, and a movie that people did not fall asleep to.
@@pocketplayer33 I think it's just the fan in me that loved Godzilla vs Kong mainly cuz of the action and visuals. It's basically one of those movies u turn your brain off and just enjoy what you see
The main reason I think the hollow earth wasn’t shown a ton in GvK is because they knew they wanted to expand on it in the next movie (GxK) and it wouldn’t make sense if they showed a ton of the hollow earth and then the next movie a ton of stuff that wasn’t in GvK just appear
Godzilla 2014 felt like a modern 1954 but with a VS movie mixed in, KotM felt a lot like a Heisei era Godzilla film with its grand scale and epicness, and Godzilla vs Kong felt like the campy Showa era films, which the very original King Kong vs Godzilla was part of. Also Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice was reflecting the original Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice from the original 1954 film, except here he’s saving Godzilla.
@@g.i.azilla3557 kinda wish it had more tbh. It was the one out of all the movies I was looking the most forward to and it ended up not doing much for me xC but I liked what we DID get when it didn’t cut away like it did
I think the pacing of Godzilla 2014 is amazing. When I was a kid seeing it in theaters, I was annoyed by how much they cut away. But when I watched it again more and more, each time it cut away I got more and more hyped and more excited for the big final battle. I think Godzilla was in the film just enough.
For me, I really like King of the Monsters the most out of the Godzilla trilogy. Mostly because I got to see the big players like Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra getting a big budget movie appearance. Also, that movie made me awe at the size of the monsters. I don't know, something about the cinematography really made them feel grand which is what was lacking in Godzilla VS Kong for me.
Well the monsterverse for me doesn't disappoint. I really like the modern take on the titans. I'd like to see one more solo Godzilla movie before they wrap up monsterverse.
My ranking would be 1: Godzilla 2014 2: Godzilla vs Kong 3: Godzilla King of the monsters 4: Kong Skull Island I love all these movies, I hope we can get more monsterverse
It was Gareth EDWARDS, not EVANS that directed the 2014 movie. He directed the indie movie « Monsters » before Godzilla 2014. He also ended up directing Star Wars: Rogue One and The Creator after that. Most prolly know cause I’m very late to this (2 years after the video) but rewatching this I just felt like I had to correct that info for anyone watching
Godzilla? Love it! Kong: Skull Island? Absolutely love it! Godzilla: King of the Moneters? ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE IT! Godzilla vs. Kong? FREAKING LOVE IT!
Ahh yes, I’ve looking forward to this video for a long time. Edit- All of Tex’s criticisms were valid! (Unlike some other youtubers) he made his points, showed what he enjoyed and found strong in each film, etc. Good video Tex.
For me, Godzilla 2014 And KoTM is artistic in general Like eating fine dining To be honest. Kong Skull Island is a combination of Fast Food and Fancy Food Surprisingly GVK is just a worse version of MCU IMO
Great video dude! I'm just gonna rank every (big) monster in the Monsterverse, 'cause why not. 11: Mire Squid - KSI(It's kinda just a giant squid. decent fight, but it only lasts like 40 seconds) 10: The background Titans - KotM (they are only there as background, but at least they have interesting and cool designs) 9: The MUTOs - 2014 (Great sounds, very interesting design, and has a lot of cool scenes, but they lack personality) 8: Skull Crawlers - KSI, GvK (While they're a lot more simple than the MUTOs, I just think they work better. They are nasty, scary and the battle between Kong and the big one are among the best fights in the monsterverse!) 7: Warbats - GvK (they serve little to no purpose in the plot, but the designs really cool, and the short battle with kong is also surprisingly cool!) 6: Mothra - KotM (Mothra's monsterverse design is my favorite of all Mothra designs, and her beauty and loyalty knows no bounds! She's lacking in power compared to most of the other titans, but she's still great in her own way!) 5: Rodan - KotM (Rodan is just awesome! The visual designs the best its ever been, the scene where he battles the jets is great, and his personallity makes him stand out from other incarnations, making him a turncoat to whoever seems strongest. I hope we get more of him in a future film) 4: Kong - KSI, GvK (Kong might've been put below Rodan, had it not been for GvK. Calling him "JuSt A bIg MoNkE" is underplaying him severely! He is intelligent, skilled, and has the most personality out of any of the monsters really. He made a worthy foe to Godzilla indeed) 3: MechaGodzilla - GvK (The designs great, the fight is f*cking perfect, he has an extremely menacing presence, what is there NOT to love about this badass killer robot? My only problem with him, is that I wish we could've seen more of this MechaGodzilla. And when the biggest problem with something is "More pls", then you're doing something right!) 2: Ghidora - KotM (If we ignore the main stars of the Monsterverse, Ghidora is EASILY the best one! He's terrifying, powerful as hell, and has lots of personality! all around the best villain in this universe) 1: Godzilla - 2014, KotM, GvK (I mean, are you really surprised? This universes take on the big G is practically a cinematic icon of this generation! He shows himself as worthy of the tittle of King of the Monsters, as he overcomes every enemy he faces, wether it be ancient parasites, draconic aliens, axe-weilding primates or mechanical look-a-likes! His roar is awesome, his design is awesome, almost every scene he is in is awesome, just awesomeness all around!) how'd you rank them? be sure to tell me below if u feel like it!
I think the Monsterverse did what it was suppose to do, as far as, building up Godzilla and Kong, while establishing other monsters, which all lead to - Godzilla vs Kong. TERRANCE OUT
4. King of the Monsters (5/10) it has grown back on me since my ranking video 3. Kong: Skull Island (6.5/10) I like it but think the characters aren't that good or interesting 2. Godzilla vs Kong (7/10) this movie is drugs, and I like it 1. Godzilla (9/10) I love this movie because it is so good at building up anticipation which makes the final fight that much better
The Monsterverse is truly fantastic, life changing even! Although the humans are not too interesting, the action is very exhilarating! And no Im not saying Legendary is better than Toho, far from it. Its just good to see America do something with Godzilla other than Zilla (Zilla Jr was a great show, though)! #continuethemonsterverse
I love all of these movies but I still have a love for the 2014 movie. This was my first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters with my sisters and my grandma. I just remember being in awe of the size and power of Godzilla and at times the movie scared the daylight out of me. Hell I had nightmares of what it would be like if I was in the city when the mutos and Godzilla fighting. But this was the movie that got me back into being interested with the king of the monsters. From being 11 when this movie came out to being 21 I’ve watched the monsterverse movies and is something that my grandmother and I love seeing. I can’t wait for GXK to come out truly excited
We need to have a film where Godzilla fights Bagan already. Its the dreammatch that......a very niche group of people have been waiting 2 decades to see.
I love King of the Monsters more with Godzilla vs Kong at the close second. Seing other recognizable kaijus/titans like Mothra and Rodan albeit with roles not as large as Goji and Ghidorah is really satisfying. And also I love the newspapers cut-out during the credits giving hints to future installments.
I'm a diehard godzilla fan. Something like the monsterverse is something I would have dreamed of as a kid. Each of the 4 offers something unique. Each of the 4 directors also are clearly fans and deeply respect the genre and characters. That being said they never felt like authentic Godzilla movies to me. Just the difference in cultures i suppose. Americans like the spectacle of action rather than the spectacle of destruction. Also the monsterverse lacks the satirical wit that the best godzilla movies offer.
I am a huge fan of the monster verse and the monster verse made my wife a Godzilla fan. I still have a hard time believing I’m in a world where America made a good Godzilla who perfectly embodies that “Nature Personified” side of Godzilla. The easiest way to cope with the Godzilla interpretations is to think of it like this: Most Godzilla’s are 50% natural disaster given form and 50% nuclear abomination. Legendary Godzilla is a Nature God 100%. Shin Gojira is the pure nuclear aberration side of Godzilla. I’m a huge fan of Heisei Godzilla, so Legendary felt so good for me and right at home in my heart. Shin felt so far detached that GMKs ghost Godzilla felt more Godzilla-ey than Shin. But I respect why people like it a lot and understand. I just feel like shin is too weird for me personally.
@@calebreynolds9183 I tend to like the ishiro Honda era of Godzilla the best. Tho i also love hedorah, return of godzilla, biollante, gmk, and shin. For me Shin godzilla is exactly what I wanted from the franchise. A bold artistic new take from an auteur director that is a political thriller, and satire of japanese government with rich themes and stunning visuals.
@@The_Wonders_of_Engineering Honda was the Showa era, and Hedorah falls within that! I identify with Heisei and Legendary a lot, more with Heisei. Heisei is in a lot of pain, and very lonely. He just destroys everything he is around and is bubbling with unstoppable rage and anger- until he meets a fragile, recently hatched cousin species to his own. Without hesitation he battles to adopt Junior and is paralyzed and even dies just trying to get a little bit of happiness, and he defends his adopted son with his life once he has him and even settles down to a more antihero role. I have Aspergers and ADHD. I think I and Godzilla understand the human world on about the same wavelength. Which means not at all.
@@calebreynolds9183 I personally define the honda era from the original to destroy all montsters. While he did direct All monsters attck and Terror of Mechagodzilla, there is a noticable downgrade in quality for the rest of the showa era. Since he didnt direct the hedorah, gigan, megalon, or the first mechagodzilla, they lack his personal touch and suffer in quality for it. Although as I said before I do like Godzilla vs Hedorah because of it's bold artistic surrealness. I'm happy you identified with the heisei era so much. I grew up with the showa and millenum series so I never had that personal connection with heisei godzilla. But the return of Godzilla and especially Godzilla vs Biollante are great. I like it best when godzilla movies are about social and political themes and have a unique style and voice form the director.
10:15 LMAOOO Great video, my favorites from the Monsterverse are GvK and Kong Skull Island, I think they are the most honest in their approach as epic entertainment.
It was such a relief to see the Vintage Kaiju back on the big screen starting in 2014 - while the Monsterverse doesn't trample the original films that introduced each Kaiju A-lister within and outside Toho (largely due to some flaws involving character development of the humans here with the exception of Serisawa), it is so far easily the best cycle of kaiju films I've seen since the Heisei Era of Godzilla, beloved by established G-fans due to its consistency in terms of tone and storyline continuity (somewhat disrupted during both the Showa and Millennium cycle), returning the Big Guy to his more serious roots complete with a badass conclusion. If anything, it managed to reconfigure plot elements from the original Toho films into something refreshingly new instead of being a mere remake/retread, while its spectacle goes beyond that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it proved that Hollywood was for once capable of treating these legendary icons with respect when they were in the right hands. Whether or not the Monsterverse will improve with time, let alone age well as a separate cycle, remains to be seen, but if anything, at least it brought back my childhood memories of watching the original classics at home and even re-enacting some of the battles during playtime with my kid bro. Now the only question left is - how are they going to properly celebrate Godzilla's 75th Diamond Anniversary in 2029 and King Kong's centennial in 2033!!?? And will Toho bring back Godzilla for a new cycle of films during the new Reiwa Era and make it just as good as or better than the Heisei Era!? And will there be new original kaiju films emerging internationally during the 2020's to rival the Monsterverse or new Toho series!!?? Oh the possibilities... I'm already drooling with anticipation!!!!
I think that, depending on what you're looking for in these movies, the 2014 Godzilla is either the best one or the worst one, which is not something I can say for the other three movies, that are more similar to each other. I don't know what this is meant to say about the film's quality (personally I like KOTM the most) but it's an interesting observation
It's fun to see the different priorities people have with these movies. You can see it in their rankings. I'm one of those people who have 2014 Godzilla at number 1, but I can definitely see why you would have some of the more silly and fun-to-watch movies at the top instead. That's why movies are great; something for everyone
How about Godzilla, Gamera, Kong, Ultraman, Zilla, Jet Jaguar, angurius, rodan, mothra, behemoth, manda, methuselah, and Doug vs Shin Godzilla, Ghidorah, Destroyah, Space Godzilla, and mecha ghidorah + Kiryu.
@Adam Huang Godzilla 2014 and KOTM were a lot closer in tone but KOTM had the best fight scenes by far imo. I was really disappointed with Godzilla v Kong, they didn’t even bother with a plot. I’m a sucker for films with a dark tone😤
When I first saw Godzilla 2014 I thought it was fantastic, but as the years went by and I rewatched it I think it is ok at best. I liked the first act but it started to go downhill when Bryan Cranston's character died. Overall not a bad movie.
I think the Monsterverse is one of the best modern cinematic universes out there and I really hope it continues! I enjoy each and every one of these movies, and I love how they all seamlessly tie into each other while all being directed by different directors with different visions. My ranking would be: 1. Godzilla:King Of The Monsters 2. Godzilla vs. Kong 3. Kong:Skull Island 4. Godzilla
Honestly my problem with GvK *was* the fights. They’re way too fast paced, and it ends up feeling like a superhero fight, none of the monsters feel their size. It feels, ironically, like 2 guys in a suit punching each other, and if you think that shouldn’t be an issue with the film, I’d point out that there is no point in making them kaiju if their size doesn’t matter. This is why Godzilla 2014 is my favourite, it leans in most to the sense of megalophobia. My second favourite is easily KotM, almost solely because of the Rodan awakening scene, because you get that same sense of scale.
Godzilla 2014 was the best for me .. I loved to dark, horror tone the film had, on top of the human interactions and sense of realism and believably. KotM is my second .. the cinematography and action in the film was the best out of the entire monsterverse. Skull Island was great too. -- GvK wasn’t it for me .. it seem like the cinematography, action scenes, human interactions, damnear everything Fr just went down hill from “unique” and epic (to say) to mediocre blockbuster. The only good thing about the film was the end when Godzilla’s and Kong fight for the 2nd time, and team up.
Allow me to give you my ranking: 4) Kong Skull Island: I have to rewatch it 3) Godzilla: because it lacks Godzilla. But overall, I like this movie 2) GVK: because it's fun and there is a lot of monster fight, but the movie isn't only about the fights and expand the universe with the hollow earth section. And Mecha Godzilla is dope 1) Godzilla King of the Monsters: Because it's awesome
I just want to see one more monsterverse movie where they do a take on Destroy all monsters. See all the monsters theyve established team up to fight destroyah, space godzilla, or maybe even Cthuhlu.
My order is 4.Godzilla 2014 3.Skull Island 2.Godzilla vs Kong 1.KotM 2 and 1 were close, but KotM had a little more monster fighting time on screen. Plus, the monsters just looked incredible-not that they didn't in GvK, but did you see Rodan, Ghidorah and Mothra, man lol. They made 2 reptiles look spectacular, and a giant insect look absolutely beautiful! Credit where credit is due...
I feel Godzilla vs Kong fights kinda fell into Pacific Rim 2 territory. The Kaiju move so much faster and weightless compared to previous Monsterverse installments, and the lack of many of the human perspectives give the movie a lot less of a giant monster feel, and more of a cartoony feel. Mechagodzilla especially. That being said, Kong Skull Island is still my favorite of the Monsterverse installments. And overall Monsterverse has been a very solid franchise.
The monsters aren't real to begin with and if they were they would collapse under their weight. Their weight shouldn't be a issue or a problem when most people don't care if a kaiju film is grounded or not. People just wanna be entertained they don't need realism shoved down their throats
I think godzilla 2014 is a great "reintroduction" film if that makes any sense. The Monster stuff is quality over quantity. KOM and GVK are fantastic but they lack something.
My favorite is skull island, I love survivalist type of movies and I love the less known monsters that are all around the island, it gets the creators to just use their imagination and brain storm what would be on an Vietnam/Amazon island and just amplify it to 50 meters+ lol. And the fight scenes with King Kong stomping on the skull crawlers was one of my favorites in the series.
KotM was definitely the best of the monsterverse movies. It was the right blend of seriousness and ludicrous. I also felt they got the scale of the monsters better than in GvK. I think GvK is very overrated and don't think it will age as well as the other movies in the monsterverse.
1:38 Gareth Evans? Gareth Evans is not the director of Godzilla (2014), the director is Gareth Edwards. A filmmaker who was known for directing an indie movie prior called Monsters in 2010. He later went on to direct Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. You kind of messed that up and gave the movies credit to the wrong person lol
Great and insightful video, I really enjoyed the entirety of the monsterverse and appreciate it based on how it brought awareness to these monsters and movies that would be seen as a niche not that long ago. Godzilla has always been my favorite fictional character and just seeing a big budget film where the monsters and set pieces return is what is so great about the monsterverse. Hopefully they continue it and maybe create a branch of films leading up to a final film because all of these creatures and monsters deserve more recognition and there is a clear market for it but based on box office nothing is guaranteed. Just imagine a modern remake of destroy all monsters or Godzilla vs Destroyah.....the potential and excitement is endless!
I actually like movies that take themselves seriously, which is why GODZILLA 2014 and loved the idea from cutting away from the fights, plus the shots and composition re beautiful. Which is why I missed most in Kong vs Godzilla. Not taken seriously, and too much humans and humor. Great vida as always
They are definitely taking a different approach with the series, but I think this “monster fight night” theme they are going with really suites this universe.
After 2014 they're trying to bring godzilla back to what hes known for, hes not meant to be taken seriously, hes there to beat the hell out of other kaiju
I just love the Monsterverse. Your ranking is exactly my list. Godzilla vs Kong is my favorite because it was so fun. I don’t get how people can be super critical of these movies. I’ve seen some goobers saying that GvK was a bad movie because the story was dumb, and I was like “so?” It doesn’t really matter if the story is dumb, because these monsters get the monster stuff perfectly right, and that’s all you can ask for when watching them.
Whoever comes up with the sound designs for the Monsterverse deserves a pay raise
Erik aadhal
In KoTM the music was done by Bear McReary... the Guy who did the Score for God of War 2018, and I think it's the best of the Monsterverse

3:53
I like it sometimes, it really just feels like two roars, and compared to some of his other incarnations, it just doesn't do it for me.
imo i thought 2014 had the perfect roar for the monsterverse then 2019 changed it and i didn't like it that much
"It's a movie called 'Godzilla vs Kong.' If you go in expecting arthouse cinema, you have no one to blame but yourself"
I sometimes wonder what if the film had a legitimately good storyline instead of some basic generic predictable plot?
@@jimmyrustles914 it did
The original 5 hour script had orca z like in kotm Godzilla is possessed by the orca z aka the orca and they put a device on the back of Godzilla like in the toys leak called mega Godzilla and they used the device on Godzilla’s back to power Mechagodzilla
I'm not expecting it to be an arthouse cinema,i'm only expecting it to have atleast decent story and characters. The only good part of this movie is the fight scenes
@@fred9515 yeah skull island had the perfect blend of both
I wish the other Monsterverse films went with the B-movie slasher vibe that Kong: Skull Island had. The first 20-30 minutes are slow, but once they get to the island it was a blast from beginning to end. Really underrated entry, imo.
It’s not underrated. Most people consider Kong Skull Island to be the best Monsterverse movie
@@GodzillaTalesProductions Really? Guess I talk to the wrong people then, because I thought KOTM was the most widely liked entry.

2014 still is the only one to give me literal fear and anxiety in the theaters. I’m talking about the boat end scene, the muto first hatching scene during the goggles, and the train track scene. Shit had my heart beating. Amazing direction by edwards there.
Is it just me or does Godzilla charging his atonic breath sound cool as hell
I like his atomic breath but one thing I was mad about was in GvK is for a lot of the HK battle he was just badly aiming it while Kong was actually trying to fight.
In my opinion Heatray sounds better

GVK did it best , the neon lighting of Hong Kong was a thing of beauty , Also No weather effects , no cutaways just pure awesome action.

A Kong sequel that takes place in the Hollow Earth, a 3rd Godzilla movie where he fights either Biollante or Destroyah, and a Mothra solo film.
@@MouseMan04 yes, or a godzilla vs biollante film
@@dimitrescu182 I feel like if they did happen to have a movie with biollante, it would probably be with godzilla because biollante has godzilla's DNA
I gotta say Tex u are probably one of the best movie youtubers. This is because u understand what the movie is trying to do and how to analyze it. Meanwhile some people try and analyze a movie like Batman v Superman like it’s supposed to be a marvel movie
Thank you thinking so!
I think people analysis BVS Ue
Is that they don't want Batman and Superman to be indie movie characters I guess
..
Sadly
Basically not wanting
SUPERPOWERED HEROES MOVIES

Like being a Marvel movie is such a HIGH standard, its not. Marvel movies can be good but they're not cinema masterpieces good aside from 2 movies arguably.

The Mosterverse for me is getting better and better with each movie, I hope it continues.
my fav was actually godzilla 2014 i loved how slow and powerfull he felt plus it had the best actors
@@user-vu3ie1jv2l yeah like the first movies of the monster verse were the best, not saying the other two like godzilla king of the monsters or GvK are bad but, the humans from those movies were the worst.
@@Banana807 agreed
@@Banana807 Nah GVK showed more monsters than human’s in term of screen time
Getting better or worse . From my opinion it's getting worse .
I think the monsterverse has a lot of potential and is doing great so far. I want to see other monsters like Destroyah or Gigan
Edit: U should make a response video on The Amazing Lucas’s review on Godzilla Vs Kong. He says that it was “utter trash” because it didn’t show enough Kong and showed more Godzilla
Destoroyah would be the coolest one. It would be a reverse Shin Gojira.
If they actually pulled that off, that would be absolutely insane. Imagine seeing Destroyah with modern day special effects!
@@JazziG59 his design would be scary too
I love those ideas, but I have no idea how you (the person you mentioned) could think the movie had too much Godzilla and not enough Kong. I personally didn't really enjoy the movie, but for entirely different reasons.

the sound design, scale and weight in 2014 is godly and are my favorite details that really made that film for me and when they incorporated that again in king of the monsters 😩 oh man it was amazing.
As someone who grew up with Godzilla, these 4 films will hold a special place in my heart.
How to watch the monsterverse movies:
Step one skip to the fights
Step two profit
No build up to the fights = unsatisfactory garbage.
This is not p0rn. Actually even p0rn works better with build up.
@@raam726 yeah the build up is pretty shit but the fights are epic so honestly thats why I just watch the fights
@@raam726 ehh.. I liked the build up in the first godzilla movie it sets up his scale perfectly, and leaves his new look and a mystery until he finally shows up. Liked what 98 godzilla should have been but the design was pretty bad.
@@Gundam_JAY that movie is shit you see Godzilla for 6 minutes
@@radexyz-fx8ix yeah cuz the whole point of the movie was too build him up for that final battle and show an awesome fight scene. And they did not disappoint. That fight was awesome.
98 godzilla tried to do a similar thing but the expectations they built were too high. And the film failed. Not only cuz the new design for godzilla was terrible but he didn't even fight the humans. He just ran away the whole time. So trash.
Hollywood definitely redeemed themselves with the 2014 movie. Fucking spectacular. We might not have seen godzilla for that long but what we did see of him was just absolutely amazing
Godzilla 2014 wasn’t that bad, I am really connected to it because this movie made me like Godzilla, because I watched this with my dad before my family got divorced and it’s the first move I watched together with my dad.

Godzilla 2014 - Good film. Did a poor job with the dark fight scenes. Thank God for the 4K UHD blu-ray
Kong: Skull Island - Dumb fun.
King of the Monsters 2019 - Better than the first. And I don't mind the way the fights are shot.
GvK - Easily the best in the series. I wish the best for everyone involved and the future of the franchise.
#ContinueTheMonsterVerse
The monster verse hopefully isn’t over.
I have a huge feeling it ain’t bro! GvK literally revived cinema and made a buncha dollars. I think a sequel is expected!
Uhh Tex sorry to correct you it was gareth Edward’s who directed Godzilla 2014 not evans

Agreed
The reason Godzilla was so slow and looked so heavy was because he just woke up and had very little radiation and was affect b the mutos emp
Don’t u just love the old days, how we would watch trailers in the theaters. Ah yes.
I did my own personal ranking of them recently and i had
1. KOTM
2. Kong Skull Island
3. GvK
4 Godzilla 2014
I am really into the lore of the monsterverse and the movies that expand on it the most are my favorites but i love all of them. KOTM is my favorite because of how much love and respect Michael Dougherty put into it. He really showed how much he cared about this world and the Godzilla IP imo. and also has the best antag monster in King Ghidorah. I pretty much love all of it.
The honest truth is no one expected the MonsterVerse to be this good, it is like the Cobra Kai show, better then it has any right to be.
I really don’t like the 2014 Godzilla movie since it is such a waste of everyone’s time with so little Godzilla, to me the series really started with Kong Skull Island and every movie after that was great. Godzilla King of The Monsters is the movie that people expected for the 2014, lots of battles, lots of Godzilla, and a movie that people did not fall asleep to.
1.Godzilla vs Kong
2.Godzilla: king of the Monsters
3.Kong: Skull island
4.Godzilla (2014)
@Adam Huang I love Kotm but I have to agree with that
KOTM is definitely the best. GvK just didn’t have the same lore, although the fights were epic.
@Adam Huang I can understand why you say Skull island is better
@@pocketplayer33 I think it's just the fan in me that loved Godzilla vs Kong mainly cuz of the action and visuals. It's basically one of those movies u turn your brain off and just enjoy what you see
@@xiiiramram I get your point...now that I think about, Godzilla , Kong , and Mechagodzilla were more like Drunks dudes at a bar fighting
The main reason I think the hollow earth wasn’t shown a ton in GvK is because they knew they wanted to expand on it in the next movie (GxK) and it wouldn’t make sense if they showed a ton of the hollow earth and then the next movie a ton of stuff that wasn’t in GvK just appear
Godzilla 2014 felt like a modern 1954 but with a VS movie mixed in, KotM felt a lot like a Heisei era Godzilla film with its grand scale and epicness, and Godzilla vs Kong felt like the campy Showa era films, which the very original King Kong vs Godzilla was part of.
Also Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice was reflecting the original Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice from the original 1954 film, except here he’s saving Godzilla.
That is why I still love Godzilla Kotm!
@@g.i.azilla3557 kinda wish it had more tbh. It was the one out of all the movies I was looking the most forward to and it ended up not doing much for me xC but I liked what we DID get when it didn’t cut away like it did
Yees
I think the pacing of Godzilla 2014 is amazing. When I was a kid seeing it in theaters, I was annoyed by how much they cut away. But when I watched it again more and more, each time it cut away I got more and more hyped and more excited for the big final battle. I think Godzilla was in the film just enough.
the fights sent chills down my spine cause they were LEGENDARY.
Honestly, if they did some weird shit like Godzilla Final Wars, I'd be down.
I don't care what anyone says godzilla 2004 was the strongest version of gojira
Kotm was pretty similar to final war tbh, I want more monster fights tho
@@cookiesnugglez7318 This Godzilla didn't Fight Mothra or other Titans. Final Wars is a bit of Downfall compared to Rest of the Millennium Era
@@Somebody67210 I was talking at the fact that there were so many kaiju in the film
For me, I really like King of the Monsters the most out of the Godzilla trilogy. Mostly because I got to see the big players like Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra getting a big budget movie appearance. Also, that movie made me awe at the size of the monsters. I don't know, something about the cinematography really made them feel grand which is what was lacking in Godzilla VS Kong for me.
Well the monsterverse for me doesn't disappoint. I really like the modern take on the titans. I'd like to see one more solo Godzilla movie before they wrap up monsterverse.
My ranking would be
1: Godzilla 2014
2: Godzilla vs Kong
3: Godzilla King of the monsters
4: Kong Skull Island
I love all these movies, I hope we can get more monsterverse
It was Gareth EDWARDS, not EVANS that directed the 2014 movie. He directed the indie movie « Monsters » before Godzilla 2014. He also ended up directing Star Wars: Rogue One and The Creator after that. Most prolly know cause I’m very late to this (2 years after the video) but rewatching this I just felt like I had to correct that info for anyone watching
That Army of Dead Trailer was Perfection,Dawn of the Dead 2004 Was Already Perfect

As a snyder fan, I agree forever
I don't think I've ever watched an opinion piece where I feel like I basically wrote the whole thing, but here we are. Great breakdown of each film!
The Monsterverse really gets better with every movie in my opinion
Godzilla 2014 has such a unique atmosphere compared to the other monster verse movies

Great video dude!
I'm just gonna rank every (big) monster in the Monsterverse, 'cause why not.
11: Mire Squid - KSI(It's kinda just a giant squid. decent fight, but it only lasts like 40 seconds)
10: The background Titans - KotM (they are only there as background, but at least they have interesting and cool designs)
9: The MUTOs - 2014 (Great sounds, very interesting design, and has a lot of cool scenes, but they lack personality)
8: Skull Crawlers - KSI, GvK (While they're a lot more simple than the MUTOs, I just think they work better. They are nasty, scary and the battle between Kong and the big one are among the best fights in the monsterverse!)
7: Warbats - GvK (they serve little to no purpose in the plot, but the designs really cool, and the short battle with kong is also surprisingly cool!)
6: Mothra - KotM (Mothra's monsterverse design is my favorite of all Mothra designs, and her beauty and loyalty knows no bounds! She's lacking in power compared to most of the other titans, but she's still great in her own way!)
5: Rodan - KotM (Rodan is just awesome! The visual designs the best its ever been, the scene where he battles the jets is great, and his personallity makes him stand out from other incarnations, making him a turncoat to whoever seems strongest. I hope we get more of him in a future film)
4: Kong - KSI, GvK (Kong might've been put below Rodan, had it not been for GvK. Calling him "JuSt A bIg MoNkE" is underplaying him severely! He is intelligent, skilled, and has the most personality out of any of the monsters really. He made a worthy foe to Godzilla indeed)
3: MechaGodzilla - GvK (The designs great, the fight is f*cking perfect, he has an extremely menacing presence, what is there NOT to love about this badass killer robot? My only problem with him, is that I wish we could've seen more of this MechaGodzilla. And when the biggest problem with something is "More pls", then you're doing something right!)
2: Ghidora - KotM (If we ignore the main stars of the Monsterverse, Ghidora is EASILY the best one! He's terrifying, powerful as hell, and has lots of personality! all around the best villain in this universe)
1: Godzilla - 2014, KotM, GvK (I mean, are you really surprised? This universes take on the big G is practically a cinematic icon of this generation! He shows himself as worthy of the tittle of King of the Monsters, as he overcomes every enemy he faces, wether it be ancient parasites, draconic aliens, axe-weilding primates or mechanical look-a-likes! His roar is awesome, his design is awesome, almost every scene he is in is awesome, just awesomeness all around!)
how'd you rank them? be sure to tell me below if u feel like it!
I think the Monsterverse did what it was suppose to do, as far as, building up Godzilla and Kong, while establishing other monsters, which all lead to - Godzilla vs Kong.
TERRANCE OUT
Only problem was that it didn't set ups kong as a king, really dampened the "definitiveness" of the fight
@@Megaguy12 dude...kong skull island and the entire hollow earth segment?
@Sammy that doesn't equal being a king, he needs at least a movie to prove it
I can't tell if I'm having a stroke or if the "Gareth Evans" instead of "Gareth Edwards" thing is intentional.
To me the monsterverse is AWESOME! Maybe the human characters suck but that's not why you watch those movies. Great video as always TEX
4. King of the Monsters (5/10) it has grown back on me since my ranking video
3. Kong: Skull Island (6.5/10) I like it but think the characters aren't that good or interesting
2. Godzilla vs Kong (7/10) this movie is drugs, and I like it
1. Godzilla (9/10) I love this movie because it is so good at building up anticipation which makes the final fight that much better
The Monsterverse is truly fantastic, life changing even! Although the humans are not too interesting, the action is very exhilarating! And no Im not saying Legendary is better than Toho, far from it. Its just good to see America do something with Godzilla other than Zilla (Zilla Jr was a great show, though)! #continuethemonsterverse
I love all of these movies but I still have a love for the 2014 movie. This was my first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters with my sisters and my grandma. I just remember being in awe of the size and power of Godzilla and at times the movie scared the daylight out of me. Hell I had nightmares of what it would be like if I was in the city when the mutos and Godzilla fighting. But this was the movie that got me back into being interested with the king of the monsters. From being 11 when this movie came out to being 21 I’ve watched the monsterverse movies and is something that my grandmother and I love seeing. I can’t wait for GXK to come out truly excited
Pacific Rim good, but Pacific Rim: Uprising nope.
We need to have a film where Godzilla fights Bagan already. Its the dreammatch that......a very niche group of people have been waiting 2 decades to see.
Godzilla King of the monsters
Godzilla v kong
Kong Skull Island
Godzilla.
I love King of the Monsters more with Godzilla vs Kong at the close second. Seing other recognizable kaijus/titans like Mothra and Rodan albeit with roles not as large as Goji and Ghidorah is really satisfying. And also I love the newspapers cut-out during the credits giving hints to future installments.
I would love to see a hollow earth kong movie where the bad guy is a relative of kong, where they both fight for dominance and expand on hollow earth
What makes Monsterverse even better is the comics, Novelazations and Hidden lore (Like the post Credit of KOTM) makes the universe more interesting
I'm a diehard godzilla fan. Something like the monsterverse is something I would have dreamed of as a kid. Each of the 4 offers something unique. Each of the 4 directors also are clearly fans and deeply respect the genre and characters.
That being said they never felt like authentic Godzilla movies to me. Just the difference in cultures i suppose. Americans like the spectacle of action rather than the spectacle of destruction. Also the monsterverse lacks the satirical wit that the best godzilla movies offer.
I am a huge fan of the monster verse and the monster verse made my wife a Godzilla fan.
I still have a hard time believing I’m in a world where America made a good Godzilla who perfectly embodies that “Nature Personified” side of Godzilla.
The easiest way to cope with the Godzilla interpretations is to think of it like this:
Most Godzilla’s are 50% natural disaster given form and 50% nuclear abomination.
Legendary Godzilla is a Nature God 100%.
Shin Gojira is the pure nuclear aberration side of Godzilla.
I’m a huge fan of Heisei Godzilla, so Legendary felt so good for me and right at home in my heart. Shin felt so far detached that GMKs ghost Godzilla felt more Godzilla-ey than Shin. But I respect why people like it a lot and understand. I just feel like shin is too weird for me personally.
@@calebreynolds9183 I tend to like the ishiro Honda era of Godzilla the best. Tho i also love hedorah, return of godzilla, biollante, gmk, and shin.
For me Shin godzilla is exactly what I wanted from the franchise. A bold artistic new take from an auteur director that is a political thriller, and satire of japanese government with rich themes and stunning visuals.
@@The_Wonders_of_Engineering Honda was the Showa era, and Hedorah falls within that!
I identify with Heisei and Legendary a lot, more with Heisei. Heisei is in a lot of pain, and very lonely. He just destroys everything he is around and is bubbling with unstoppable rage and anger- until he meets a fragile, recently hatched cousin species to his own. Without hesitation he battles to adopt Junior and is paralyzed and even dies just trying to get a little bit of happiness, and he defends his adopted son with his life once he has him and even settles down to a more antihero role.
I have Aspergers and ADHD. I think I and Godzilla understand the human world on about the same wavelength. Which means not at all.
@@calebreynolds9183 I personally define the honda era from the original to destroy all montsters. While he did direct All monsters attck and Terror of Mechagodzilla, there is a noticable downgrade in quality for the rest of the showa era. Since he didnt direct the hedorah, gigan, megalon, or the first mechagodzilla, they lack his personal touch and suffer in quality for it. Although as I said before I do like Godzilla vs Hedorah because of it's bold artistic surrealness.
I'm happy you identified with the heisei era so much. I grew up with the showa and millenum series so I never had that personal connection with heisei godzilla. But the return of Godzilla and especially Godzilla vs Biollante are great. I like it best when godzilla movies are about social and political themes and have a unique style and voice form the director.
Wait you like godzilla. Because of that you can't enjoy any Kong movies. Your a disgrace.
Jk. I agree with you as a fan of godzilla and kong
This may be Very contriversal but Godzilla vs Kong was actually my least favourite movie in the monsterverse.
Yes I want more mosterverse movies. Especially when they haven't use some of my favorite monsters like Gigan, Destroyah, and Biolantte
Hey, there’s always the future.
10:15 LMAOOO
Great video, my favorites from the Monsterverse are GvK and Kong Skull Island, I think they are the most honest in their approach as epic entertainment.
I agree, those movies are great. KOTM was fine but I though the human characters were poorly executed
I love all of these films.
It was such a relief to see the Vintage Kaiju back on the big screen starting in 2014 - while the Monsterverse doesn't trample the original films that introduced each Kaiju A-lister within and outside Toho (largely due to some flaws involving character development of the humans here with the exception of Serisawa), it is so far easily the best cycle of kaiju films I've seen since the Heisei Era of Godzilla, beloved by established G-fans due to its consistency in terms of tone and storyline continuity (somewhat disrupted during both the Showa and Millennium cycle), returning the Big Guy to his more serious roots complete with a badass conclusion. If anything, it managed to reconfigure plot elements from the original Toho films into something refreshingly new instead of being a mere remake/retread, while its spectacle goes beyond that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it proved that Hollywood was for once capable of treating these legendary icons with respect when they were in the right hands. Whether or not the Monsterverse will improve with time, let alone age well as a separate cycle, remains to be seen, but if anything, at least it brought back my childhood memories of watching the original classics at home and even re-enacting some of the battles during playtime with my kid bro.
Now the only question left is - how are they going to properly celebrate Godzilla's 75th Diamond Anniversary in 2029 and King Kong's centennial in 2033!!?? And will Toho bring back Godzilla for a new cycle of films during the new Reiwa Era and make it just as good as or better than the Heisei Era!? And will there be new original kaiju films emerging internationally during the 2020's to rival the Monsterverse or new Toho series!!?? Oh the possibilities... I'm already drooling with anticipation!!!!
I think that, depending on what you're looking for in these movies, the 2014 Godzilla is either the best one or the worst one, which is not something I can say for the other three movies, that are more similar to each other. I don't know what this is meant to say about the film's quality (personally I like KOTM the most) but it's an interesting observation
The endgame scenario for this series would for sure be the awakening of destroyah
They gonna reveal that there was a prophecy where humanity will bring upon their own destroyer(destroyah).
The only thing I hate about these movies isn't the movies but the fanbase take on them it sucks
It's fun to see the different priorities people have with these movies. You can see it in their rankings. I'm one of those people who have 2014 Godzilla at number 1, but I can definitely see why you would have some of the more silly and fun-to-watch movies at the top instead. That's why movies are great; something for everyone

Hey Tex!
I think the Monsterverse is one of the best modern cinematic universes out there and I really hope it continues! I enjoy each and every one of these movies, and I love how they all seamlessly tie into each other while all being directed by different directors with different visions.
My ranking would be:
1. Godzilla:King Of The Monsters
2. Godzilla vs. Kong
3. Kong:Skull Island
4. Godzilla
Can you do a video regarding The Conjuring Universe before or after The Conjuring III?
I plan to after The Conjuring 3 comes out.
Honestly my problem with GvK *was* the fights. They’re way too fast paced, and it ends up feeling like a superhero fight, none of the monsters feel their size. It feels, ironically, like 2 guys in a suit punching each other, and if you think that shouldn’t be an issue with the film, I’d point out that there is no point in making them kaiju if their size doesn’t matter. This is why Godzilla 2014 is my favourite, it leans in most to the sense of megalophobia. My second favourite is easily KotM, almost solely because of the Rodan awakening scene, because you get that same sense of scale.
The 2014 Godzilla movie is one off my favourites🤣🤟
Admit it, you thought of "Save Mothra" when Godzilla had Kong pinned down.
Godzilla 2014 was the best for me .. I loved to dark, horror tone the film had, on top of the human interactions and sense of realism and believably. KotM is my second .. the cinematography and action in the film was the best out of the entire monsterverse. Skull Island was great too.
--
GvK wasn’t it for me .. it seem like the cinematography, action scenes, human interactions, damnear everything Fr just went down hill from “unique” and epic (to say) to mediocre blockbuster. The only good thing about the film was the end when Godzilla’s and Kong fight for the 2nd time, and team up.
I Agree 10000% with you like in every way
Allow me to give you my ranking:
4) Kong Skull Island: I have to rewatch it
3) Godzilla: because it lacks Godzilla. But overall, I like this movie
2) GVK: because it's fun and there is a lot of monster fight, but the movie isn't only about the fights and expand the universe with the hollow earth section. And Mecha Godzilla is dope
1) Godzilla King of the Monsters: Because it's awesome
I just want to see one more monsterverse movie where they do a take on Destroy all monsters. See all the monsters theyve established team up to fight destroyah, space godzilla, or maybe even Cthuhlu.
My order is
4.Godzilla 2014
3.Skull Island
2.Godzilla vs Kong
1.KotM
2 and 1 were close, but KotM had a little more monster fighting time on screen. Plus, the monsters just looked incredible-not that they didn't in GvK, but did you see Rodan, Ghidorah and Mothra, man lol. They made 2 reptiles look spectacular, and a giant insect look absolutely beautiful!
Credit where credit is due...
I had no idea people liked Kong: Skull Island. It felt like a terrible wannabe MCU movie but with King Kong and worse humour.
The characters were boring af
@@jothishprabu8in my opinion they were the best
Megalon would be perfect for a hollow earth film.
Bring back Anguirus too
I feel Godzilla vs Kong fights kinda fell into Pacific Rim 2 territory. The Kaiju move so much faster and weightless compared to previous Monsterverse installments, and the lack of many of the human perspectives give the movie a lot less of a giant monster feel, and more of a cartoony feel. Mechagodzilla especially.
That being said, Kong Skull Island is still my favorite of the Monsterverse installments. And overall Monsterverse has been a very solid franchise.
Kong is faster Godzilla moved kinda faster but was still slow
Well I get that for godzilla, but kong had always been able to move fast
The monsters aren't real to begin with and if they were they would collapse under their weight. Their weight shouldn't be a issue or a problem when most people don't care if a kaiju film is grounded or not. People just wanna be entertained they don't need realism shoved down their throats
I think godzilla 2014 is a great "reintroduction" film if that makes any sense. The Monster stuff is quality over quantity. KOM and GVK are fantastic but they lack something.
I want to see big monster fights

My favorite is skull island, I love survivalist type of movies and I love the less known monsters that are all around the island, it gets the creators to just use their imagination and brain storm what would be on an Vietnam/Amazon island and just amplify it to 50 meters+ lol. And the fight scenes with King Kong stomping on the skull crawlers was one of my favorites in the series.
KotM was definitely the best of the monsterverse movies. It was the right blend of seriousness and ludicrous. I also felt they got the scale of the monsters better than in GvK. I think GvK is very overrated and don't think it will age as well as the other movies in the monsterverse.
Gvk is the only one I dislike, the monsters feel no where near as good as in the previous films and I genuinely can’t stand the humans in this one
@@deebo3182 kongs side was decent
@@xaviervalentine1150 Yeah but that was one of the problems for me, there was no Godzilla side
Yeah GvK was a fun ride but I liked KOTM more.
@@deebo3182 well this is because gvk is meant to be more of a kong movie, godzilla is intended to be the villain up until the very end
Never seen a Godzilla film, just saw clips of giant monsters and thought it was super cool, watched the monsterverse films and was veeeery happy
1:38 Gareth Evans? Gareth Evans is not the director of Godzilla (2014), the director is Gareth Edwards. A filmmaker who was known for directing an indie movie prior called Monsters in 2010. He later went on to direct Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. You kind of messed that up and gave the movies credit to the wrong person lol
You really wrote a whole paragraph just to say he got the director's last name wrong?...
I respect that.

Great and insightful video, I really enjoyed the entirety of the monsterverse and appreciate it based on how it brought awareness to these monsters and movies that would be seen as a niche not that long ago. Godzilla has always been my favorite fictional character and just seeing a big budget film where the monsters and set pieces return is what is so great about the monsterverse. Hopefully they continue it and maybe create a branch of films leading up to a final film because all of these creatures and monsters deserve more recognition and there is a clear market for it but based on box office nothing is guaranteed. Just imagine a modern remake of destroy all monsters or Godzilla vs Destroyah.....the potential and excitement is endless!
I actually like movies that take themselves seriously, which is why GODZILLA 2014 and loved the idea from cutting away from the fights, plus the shots and composition re beautiful. Which is why I missed most in Kong vs Godzilla. Not taken seriously, and too much humans and humor. Great vida as always
They are definitely taking a different approach with the series, but I think this “monster fight night” theme they are going with really suites this universe.
After 2014 they're trying to bring godzilla back to what hes known for, hes not meant to be taken seriously, hes there to beat the hell out of other kaiju
Kong only had slightly more screen time skull island than godzilla in 2014. Don't know why everyone acts like he has hours of screen time

I just love the Monsterverse. Your ranking is exactly my list. Godzilla vs Kong is my favorite because it was so fun. I don’t get how people can be super critical of these movies. I’ve seen some goobers saying that GvK was a bad movie because the story was dumb, and I was like “so?” It doesn’t really matter if the story is dumb, because these monsters get the monster stuff perfectly right, and that’s all you can ask for when watching them.
