"LIZERD VS MUNKY" - The History of Godzilla Vs Kong:
• The Big Picture - LIZE...
[REMASTERED FOR 2020 - Originally Published May 2019]
Restored + Remastered for 'THE BIG SCREEN' in preparation for 2021's "Godzilla Vs. Kong," one of Bob's most popular (and enthusiastic) reviews of 2019, a big rave for Michael Dougherty's (still!) underappreciated "Godzilla: King of The Monsters" which delivered exactly what at least this critic was looking for from this film and series specifically at exactly the right moment. All hail the king!

This is PEAK Moviebob, and I love it.
Seconded. I love most if not all of his videos, but this may best one ever.

@@darthkai8242 Sure. This movie may be considered trash, but it’s my trash. So was Kong vs Godzilla, and I couldn’t care less. I enjoyed watching it despite the story being pretty stupid. I’m sorry, but I was way more interested in watching Kong smash a Giant Plasma powered Battle Axe onto Godzilla’s head. After all, isn’t that the point of that movie anyways
@@darthkai8242 ...except they couldn’t, and were ultimately shown to be wrong for trying
"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
"And then He-Man comes in" is still very funny.
cause he's got the power!
And then King Koopa breaks up the monster pin fall with a Bowser Bomb!!
RRRRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR
Two years later: still funny, still pure. Long live the king!
Can't wait for Godzilla vs Kong.
I still love the part where you describe the movie with action figures
Oh yes, I still remember that bit! :D
Still my favorite part of this review!
The Bowser at the end slays me.
It’s amazing
Just pure joy
It’s great to see Bob so happy 😀
This is my favorite review of yours, Bob. I went out and saw this movie, my first Godzilla flick ever (and only second Kaiju movie after Pacific Rim) entirely because your sheer enthusaism made me so happy. And this movie deserved it. It was totally awesome and now I ship a lizard with a bug. So thanks, Bob. Thanks for all that.
But... But Godzilla senpai... Are you sure this is ok?
*Godzilla roaring noises*
Well I guess if it's with you, it's fine...
*Bug blush*
You have to check out all the other ones it’ll be a whole new world to step into :D
Bob, thank you so much! I lost my dad in 2011. And it sucks, as you know. But one of the best memories and experiences I have with my dad is watching Godzilla movies on channel 56 on the weekends. :-) and I actually visited his grave and told him about this movie and how much he would f****** love it! So thank you for understanding the pure joy of monsters bashing the crap out of each other! 😊
I was in line first minute at the theater for this one and only realized later that it hadn't been a hit. It was so awesome, it never occurred to me that people wouldn't be all over it.
the action figures bit was hilarious. I almost peed myself when he brought He-Man out
I picked this movie up on Blu-Ray as soon as I could, but I did not see it in theaters. That wasn't due to lack of faith in the movie, I simply preferred watching movies at home during that time period. For context, I did the same thing with Avengers: Endgame!
I really wish the film was half way as engaging as your review Bob. Maybe it just needed to be seen on a big screen, but I can't remember a single thing that happened in the film outside of the stinger.
This remains one of my favorite MovieBob reviews.
I've watched this review so many times and I'm just so glad it's here now. One of your best Bob.
To this day, still your very best review ever. There is a serious market to be had, in my opinion, for grown ass adults smashing action figures together as a type of movie review. Fantastic work.
This is exactly how I felt when I left the theater. This video brought it all back, thank you! I love your sincerity in this, "this is the big budget Godzilla movie I used to dream of getting as a kid, and I never thought I actually would." Is a sentiment I shared back then and still do now.
I forgot why I didn't see this movie and then I saw the rotten tomatoes score and I was like "the last time Bob went against the critics was with suckerpunch and I hated that so much I wanted my money back" so I trusted the critics
Always fun watching you enjoy something.
as a fellow kaiju fan who grew up loving these kinds of movies this is my favorite review by Bob it is still so good 2 years later
This is my favourite review from ya bob. Its the yin to your pixels review yang. Pure joy vs. Pure anger
Godzilla: King of the Monsters gets an A+. But MovieBob's review of Godzilla: King of the Monsters gets a perfect score.
This review never gets old! Love seeing moviebob this excited!
I distinctly recall Bob being in the minority when it came to film critics opinions on this movie, in particular Matthew Buck, aka Film Brain, acting like he had just been metaphorically beaten to near death and didn't wish anyone to "suffer through" what he did, even going so far as to tell the people for whom this is the Godzilla movie they've been waiting for and wanting "no it is not". Like, sheesh... What's wrong with them?
Unrelated note, a bit disappointed that neither He-Man nor Bowser showed up in this movie.
I forgot just how excited Moviebob got for this movie... and my life is better for getting to enjoy watching it again.
I do love a proper giant monster movie. I can't say I'd give it a 10/10 but I did have a brilliant time. The main fall-down for me was that a lot of the human characters are so one-dimensional it gets painful to watch. Also, the "main guy" is not good and even after multiple watches I still have no idea what his background is or why he ends up being the "main guy" rather than the other, far more interesting members of Monarch.
I laughed so hard at the toys
It's great to see Bob happy.
This is probably my favorite review of yours.
I will never understand why more people didn't pick up on word of mouth on this movie
I know right? Bob and a few others literally did everything but physically carry people to the movie theaters, but folks just weren't into monster movies that year or something.
I do, a lot of people have just really boring taste
I think it's just that it's a very acquired taste.
When I talk about this movie to people their energy/attitude is basically "So it's just to see big monsters fight?" and it's like yeah it's fucking awesome, but you can tell it's just the sort of spectacle that doesn't click for some people. It's the kind of thing you have to see to enjoy and it has to be in a theater for maximum effect. Same thing happened with Pacific Rim.
Just watched it, it's friggin awesome!
A lot of other reviewers thumbed their noses at it pretending to be intellectuals, plus the first movie set people up for disappointment.
Heya Bob, have you considered taking a look at the 2016 movie, Shin Godzilla/Godzilla Resurgence? Figure it'd be some other Godzilla content to cover waiting for The Big Fight™.
I remember seeing this review and being pissed I had to wait 1 more day to watch the movie.
I'll say this. Bob undersold this movie.
And SPEAKING of "too pure..." watching MovieBob smash a bunch of toys together like an overstimulated 3rd-grader is enough to make my day suck way, WAY less.
I am very glad Bob enjoyed this movie so much, but having seen it in theaters on opening day, it's not even in my top 5 Godzilla movies. Just saying people didn't give it a chance glosses over that it's just not going to be for everyone.
The earnestness with which Bob loves kaiju movies is such a balm against all the crap happening in everyday life. 😊
This review made me go to a movie theater and sit really close to the screen in order to see it in all of its glory.
I do not understand how anyone could have enjoyed the spectacle, when it was shot too close and was constantly hided behind snow, smoke or rain.
Damn, I love this review! Haven't seen the movie, but based on how much Bob is overflowing with enthusiasm and giddiness, I guess I'm gonna check it out!
I want more Bob using unabashed kid enthusiasm playing with action figures. Nay, I NEED more Bob being overly enthusiastic.
While i didn't enjoy this movie as much as you did, i still agree with everything you said while Action figures where on screen. The unexpected arrival of He-Man and King Koop being exactly the kind of thing i would have do trying to explain it to my friends if I was a kid watching this.
Now all we need is for them to give Shusuke Kaneko this kind of budget and let him make a Godzilla vs Gamera film so i can die in perfect bliss.
I just keep watching this movie! And Kong: Skull Island is great too. Isn't John C. Reilly really fun in virtually everything?
As long as its not Ralph Breaks The Internet, then John C. Reilly is fun in pretty much everything lol
As long as its not Ralph Breaks The Internet, then John C. Reilly is fun in pretty much everything lol
I really tried to like this,I'm glad for people who loved it. I just couldn't get past the actors I'm glad enough people did love it if only to get Godzilla VS Kong and more like films.
Just watched this movie again and came here to rewatch this review and it gets better and funnier every time
Bob was one of the only people in his line of work who appreciated this movie for the work of unmitigated brilliance that it is.
I wonder if we’ll get this level of enthusiasm again about a movie.
Went to the movies for this one. Day after the premier, empty cinema.
THIS IS WHY WE DONT DESERVE NICE THINGS!
I just rewatched Godzilla 14, Skull Island, and KOTM over the week.
Skull Island is easily the best of these movies. Its the only one of these that knew well enough to not take itself too seriously. It was just fun. Samuel L Jackson was so much better of a villan than any of the overly self-serious "Thanos but badly written" characters from KOTM. KOTM would have been 1000x better if it had that same kind of tone. Instead it took itself too seriously and ended up worse for it.
Also it doesn't help that you couldn't actually see the monster fights in KOTM. Like, it kept cutting away too often. Do you actually know how the fight went down between Rodan and Ghidorah? Or Rodan and Mothra? No? Because the camera never actually focused on them for more than half a second? Rewatching the glorious Kong vs Skullcrawler fight in broad daylight is an extremely stark contrast.
I'm of the same opinion
I'm glad that Bob and myself had a similar response to this movie. I hope it continues with Godzilla vs Kong.
You were a Trully Godzilla fan years after the Godzilla vs Kong BOOM trailer :D
Godzilla vs Kong... yeah I think we are in for a treat, just those choice spoiler frames in the trailer got people hyped up so badly.
Possibly my favorite review of Bob's. So, Bob, King of the Monsters or Pacific Rim?
I'd put Kong Skull Island ahead of either of them, personally. As far as I'm concerned, it's the pinnacle of modern kaiju flicks.
@@jasonblalock4429 Skull Island has the best balance as a film. Pac Rim has the most endearing enthusiasm. KotM has the best monsters/monster fights. In short, watch them all and appreciate that we live in a timeline where all three exist.
I may not entirely agree with your review but dammit I love your enthusiasm
I think you should do a feature length version of this using your action figures.
This review is what convinced me to watch it and I am now a fan. Cannot wait for Godzilla v Kong!!
i forgot that you gave this 10 out of 10. I still think the first one is FAR better than you give it credit for, but god damn do i agree with this review.
Lmbo! Can we get a Bowser cameo? That would be epic!
Ok, honestly, it was really sweet. The visuals were amazing. One thing you got wrong though: Kyle Chandler was an awful lead. At one point I started imagining Bryan Cranston saying every single one of his lines instead of him and I felt sad every single time.
Glad you enjoyed KOTM, but there's no one way to watch Godzilla movies.
When I got my hands on this movie, I watched it a bunch of times before putting it down.
Can't wait for Godzilla vs Kong.
best review i've ever seen on here XD buying the DVD asap~!
1:42 what about in they early/mid 20's though? 🤔
Still one of my favorite Bob reviews!
Really surprised you loved this so much honestly I thought it was ass and I REALLY wanted to love it. Even the monster fights were kinda disappointing. Every frame was just covered in CGI particles I couldn't see shit. The human drama was abysmal too. The score was amazing though even though it doesn't really shine in the movie itself.
I loved this film. I love when Gojira melts buildings. I did not need 11 or her family.
Saw it twice in theaters. Went with my pops. He didn’t like it. Went with my buddy. He didn’t like it. Fuck’em 🤘😎
Best Review Ever!
I’m honestly baffled by the criticisms of this film. I just don’t understand what people were expecting from Godzilla: King of the Monster; some high-brow art film?! If you don’t like Godzilla movies, then that makes sense, but why watch it? Lol If you’re a fan of Godzilla films, I can’t think of what else they could’ve done that would’ve made it better for you. It feels like a proper Godzilla film, and was clearly made by a fan. Also, Bear McCreary’s score is phenomenal.
I'm glad you had a good time with it but I think you're extremely right about people _needing_ to get into the stuff as a kid to _ever_ really be into it because I found the film quite boring. To me, it was equally as boring as Godzilla 2014, it's bizarre for me to hear someone have such different opinions about the two films because I just watched them both for the first time this week and, from my perspective, they really blend together pretty indistinctly for me. I just didn't find the monster fights very interesting to watch, I really couldn't tell you a single action moment in either film that wowed me in any way or that I can even remember.
You should try the original 1959 Godzilla and Shin Godzilla, since they are genuily great movies where you care about the story and characters, not just spectacle.
Other people who love this film actually exist? I'm not alone? J-O-Y!!!
I like the idea that the only thing KotM was missing was Ninja Turtles and Legos and then at the end it's time to wash up for dinner because we're having Mac and Cheese with hot dogs cut up in it and please remember to be nice to your brother he looks up to you.
So, we getting a Really That Good about this one?
It might work better for the Monsterverse series as a whole since many might have only watched Godzilla then given up.
Really That Good is for when there's a lot more to say.
I really don't think there's any more to say.
Maybe after this next one he does which I’m 85% sure it’s about Lord of the Rings.
I think we just saw Bob's O face 😳.
Engagement!
Remember going to the movies?
Thanks Bob!
This movie made my girlfriend cry for hours because of Mothras end. I felt really bad cuz I was laughing like a little kid the whole time.
Such a awesome movie yes it has it's flaws but it was great seeing godzilla Mothra Rodan and king Ghidorah in an American setting. I can't wait to see godzilla abd kong fight mechagodzilla in March and the skull island animated series on Netflix
who's impatiently waiting for Bob's review of Godzilla vs Kong? Can it top this review?
1:30 I dunno about that take 😂 I didn't give even half of a shit about Godzilla/Gojira as a kid but I definitely grew an appreciation for it/him as an adult.
This just might be a hunch, but I think Bob likes this movie.
Oh dear, they broke Bob. Hahaha
I'm starting to get the impression that Bob really liked this movie...
Cool video!
So you liked it then?
My favourite part was when the character stood around explaining the plot to each other for two hours.
If you think this film is great, I don't think you've heard of the Omnimax at the Cincinnati Museum center, and never seen a film on a screen so big it wraps around you, and can make you motion sick from the thing in frame literally moving around in and out of your peripheral vision. It is, the way I think this film was meant to be seen, and I wish everyday that I could get the chance to watch it as such.
Well I know one place I need to visit if I ever go to Cincinnati.
I have theory that first movie fall victim of producer butchery. Like first half hour is actually good, then movie become boring slag for another half hour and then final on its own is decent, but people were too bored to care. The clear problem of this movie is character of the son, who doesn't serve purpose dragging movie, clearly designed to focus on the monster after. I have some minor complains but yeh, it was good. Not as good as Kong, but still good.
Edit: Oh, and best part of this movie is when they nuke R’lyeh 😍
This is still some of the honest shit I’ve ever heard. Rivals Pixels as one of your masterpieces reviews. Except positive flavoured ya know.
I have lost hope that Bob will ever understand that show isn't pronounced "shower".
I'm sorry Bob, I love your work and all you do, but you are not right on this one. I love your energy though and love how passionate you are about this one. This was really not a good movie though.
One of the best monster movies ever
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Godzilla: King of the Monsters was a fantastic movie. Godzilla: Trials of This Dumb Broken Family was a waste everyone's life.
I swear to hell this had better have blown right up in DVD sales and made the money it absolutely should have in cinemas or I am going to kidnap people and trap them in screenings of Godzilla v Kong.
Amen, and Godzilla bless you Bob!
Why wear the shades indoors, got something to hide moviebob???
It's to help cover up the fact he's reading from a script.
Trust the Bob.
Bob if it makes you feel better about this movie bombing at the box office, I went to see this in theaters movie because of this review and I was not disappointed
This movie made me watch the movie. 0 regrets. Great review!
See, I dreamed about a big budget Godzilla movie too, especially after seeing Jurassic Park. I should have had the same reaction, but I was REALLY disappointed with KotM. They kept cutting away from monster brawls too much and nothing felt real about it. Bradley Whitford said nothing but stupid shit. And the way radiation is treated in this movie is insulting to Godzilla's roots.
I love Godzilla but I was disappointed by King of the Monsters
I enjoyed it, just as I've enjoyed and own all of the other Godzilla films, but it was a bit of a mess. Should've been more like the Marc Cerasini novel Godzilla 2000.
