@@haytijr5823 MechaGodzilla and Godzilla’s fight was a lot like Batman vs Bane in the sewer. Godzilla got one hit then MechaGodzilla whooped his ass convincingly
@@TheMadLeprechaun it was kinda like a surrender, is no way was it him submitting but him dropping the axe shows that he won't submit but godzilla is still Top Alpha
Which was great cuz in Skull Island he tries to elbow a skull crawler and misses and hits a mountain Great call back and in this one he nails it - he's come a long way lol #ContinueTheMonsterverse
🐨As a representative of the Godzilla cult I must remind viewers that it was Godzilla's brilliant instance to charge Kong's axe with his Atomic heat ray that enabled the ape🦍 to defeat Mechagodzilla, Godzilla rules!!!🐲🤓👍🐨
Especially these two who "LOVE" the originals save the first Gojira there have been few if any human B plots that weren't trash or convoluted hell the who thing about building mechagodzilla by humans claiming to be doing it for the good of humanity and end up pooping the bed.
Loved the homages to the og Godzilla films from the axe branch to Gs throat to the King Ghidorah head making MechaG becoming evil at the end etc. Loved it all 😎😎
That last scene when Godzilla was leaving Kong, it reminded me of last scene from The Raid movie when Rama's brother (Andi) left Rama to live their own separate ways.
I like how they paid tribute to the original if you remember kong was ramming a tree down godzilla throat in this one he is ramming the handle of a axe down his throat
Wish they would have included the Godzilla dropkick too but then again, Kong did one at one point so yeah, they kinda paid homage to the original in some respects. What a nutty but fun movie.
A lot of wasted opportunities in that movie for me •more scenes with Rodan and mothra •Mothra actually being visible •Full Fleshed out fight scene between Rodan and Ghidorah •Ghidorah and Rodan wrecking havoc on DC instead of the 1 minute scene we got there There’s probably more I can think of but that’s what I really needed in that movie and it didn’t serve
Despite the humans being shown during the fights, which was irritating, I thought "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" was still one of the greatest movies ever. As far as Kong winning in the 60's movie.....no. Godzilla was clearly way ahead on points. They fall in the water, there's a rock slide which buries Godzilla. So Kong says "Oh good, my chance to swim the heck outta here before Godzilla gets loose because I just took an ass beating from the King!" So yes, Godzilla whipped Kong in both movies, rather easily. 😉💪
I saw it in IMAX! That was experience! If there is a another movie Wingard better direct it! And lets have a moment of silents for Hong Kong and the buildings in this movie! lol
It may seem a bit weird but it felt to me that this was a sequel to Kong: Skull Island rather than a Godzilla sequel. About the only complaint I have about this film is Mechagodzilla; when it showed up, I got 'Transformers' vibes rather than 'Pacific Rim', which is not a good association for me. Otherwise, this film was pure Showa-era wackiness with some of its plot points seemingly ripped right out of those movies. Oh, and whoever built those buildings in Hong Kong needs a raise as they were solid as rocks!
We actually get honest ground and pound. Well clawing, but still. Heymakers, weapons, blasts, falls count anywhere and a last man standing match. Oh this that movie.
Based on the graphic novel, it was Ghidorah who triggered an electric storm which started to merge with Skull island's storm, that cause its destruction.
Godzilla went through huge metal ships like they were paper but couldn't even scratch Mecha-G! He's got about 50 of the same exact thing that Kong used to chop Mecha-G up running down his back/tail.
This is why I love you guys. LPB I love you. You are my hero. Thank you. I had to stop this 2 mins in and your already hitting on real talk. How in the world are going have one of the most iconic characters Dr. Ishirō FREAKING Serizawa's son in this and like said blink and you would miss it, and have him go out like that. Lol I'm sorry so long. Thank both of you for the real talk. I'll keep watching now. 🍺
Best parts about the film were the fights and definitely hollow earth. Kong exploring hollow earth should've definitely been it's own movie. Maybe him taming hollow earth would be cool for a sequel and a rematch inevitable.
Oguri Shun's role here as Ren Serizawa was absolutely wasted and I'm 100% sure his scenes got cut. His father lived his life wanting humans to co-exist with titans and now his son is in APEX and wants humanity to be the apex predator, the alpha. The complete opposite and I'm definitely sure they did a lot with his character, I'm adamant that his scenes must've gotten cut and they wanted to keep this under 2 hours. He didn't move to the US to learn English just to say 4-5 lines and be done with it, his character here just so happens to be the son of Serizawa. We wouldn't be complaining if he was just another japanese character who has no relation to Serizawa. And quite a waste casting Oguri Shun considering he's a big megastar in Japan and this is how they did his character. And Adam Wingard revealed there were a lot of scenes that were cut.
Kong wasn't the hero. Both Kong and Godzilla were the heroes, if it weren't for Godzilla tanking Mecha G Kong also would have gotten wrecked. In fact, during the team-up scene(s) against Mecha G, Godzilla saves Kong from a few fatal close encounters. Thus, don't act Kong single-handedly defeated Mecha G. That's the big lie spread by salty Kong fans.
And while Kong did save Godzilla Godzilla in a way saved Kong by charging up his axe. So Kong didn't fully take out MG by himself they both saved each other.
@@superstarthomas its probably because Kong dealed the finishing blow, it's like Superman defeating Doomsday with the help of WW and Batman, but y'all are right about him not doing it on his own
I watched thanks to your review, was really surprised, first time I was not underwhelmed with Godzilla in the monster verse (skull island was a blast), they didn't shy away from showing the fights and the cgi was beautiful, not to mention they respected Godzilla, by the end I was like "THATS RIGHT! SUBMIT TO THE KING!", I'm happy the director got it right, although mechagodzilla could've been handled better
This was a Showa movie done in the modern day. Dreams do come true! And how about the title sequence, where they made the match-up brackets like a tournament? All building up to that enormous title?! With that music?! That was epic!!
Hey team, crack up movie review as always, so much passion from you kids, I got amped and hyped during the opening credits scene of how it shows the Zilla and Kong stats of who they defeated along the way to the grand final heavyweight championship fight between the last 2 standing, that to me made it even more epic and I couldn’t wait to see the Titans go toe to toe, so glad to be alive in 2021 to witness this
According to the director, he has enough footage for a 5-hour cut and people who even shot scenes were not even in the movie at all. Lots were cut out of the movie, but the director said he was happy with the final product and knows most people do not care about the humans. I would have liked to have gotten a 2-2.5 hour movie at least. I loved it, but thought it did feel like it had many deleted scenes. I think what was cut out would've probably fleshed out the story more. The creator of Mechagodzilla apparently shot more scenes for the movie. I really cannot wait to read the movie novelization now. LOL...I have a feeling once the novel comes out, many people may get upset at what was taken out of the movie. Overall, though, it was still a fun movie. My main problem, honestly, with Godzilla: King of the Monsters, even though I still really enjoyed it, was a lot of it was literally too dark. I liked the monster fights, but everything looked way too dark and the fights would've been more enjoyable if there was just more background lighting. I did also think the pacing of the last movie was too slow in the first half. But, for me, just fixing the lighting itself would have made things more enjoyable for me.
I just got done watching it and yeah...I have to agree...the first attack on Apex by Godzilla and they state 8 people died...I'm like "Eight people my ass!"
I got so many issues with this movie plot wise. The fights were AMAZING tho. Still, i feel like Godzilla vs. Kong needed maybe one more movie for build up for it to actually happen. They could've done a whole Kong movie focusing on the Hollow Earth and retaking his place as the Alpha species of the hollow earth while giving us some more background is this "ancient" war between Kong and Godzilla species.
I feel like they haven’t done any real build up for these movies because they are afraid the monsterverse won’t last long so they’re just rushing everything. Since this movie has been successful so far, maybe now they finally do more build up
I love the 2014 film because of the ambiguity and how scary it sometimes is when Godzilla shows up, king of the monsters is so weird, to me even the visual effects don't feel unique and precious, mostly because of so much cutting to the humans. But this one...I had to take a break in both fights because I was so hyped. Good review as always
We gotta grab the comics they probably explain the situation on skull island more and what was going on around the world in the past 3 years before gvk. The movie said there hasn't been a titan incident for a while b4 the godzilla attack.
Yeah the views from the monsters were great unlike the previous movies. Yes no more panning from humans to monsters. Staying with the monster's fighting.
I actually found it really f*cking funny that they poured alcohol on the keyboard. Everyone knows how quick you have to start praying to every god humans have ever prayed to when you spill something on your computer. I appreciate that it didn't do much considering Ghidora was already in control, but it was still funny. The simplest solution always works.
Loved this Movie...GvK...Best Battle of All...This movie delivered a lot in terms of PURE MONSTER MASH...Looking forward to the next sequel..this cannot end here:)
First of all, amazing makeup. I agree so much with Lady Phatblood, same issues with KOTM, I did the same than you guys and just watched first trailer since I watch everything for KOTM (obviously also your reactions to the trailers) and was so hyped for that movie and that was the let down there. Loved this one, I was excited waiting for your review and it's cool to see you guys really liked it
I couldn't agree more. This movie delivered what I wanted in enough ways that I could ignore its shortcomings. KOTM, while I liked it alright, fell short too many times with Stupid Human Tricks.
There was only one Ghidorah brain whitch was In the skull, over the pilot. Edit: oh wait. Just rewatched and he really said Ghidorah's brains comunicated thelepatically, so that's why there is one In control room and "one In this thing" so... It really means they somehow have two brains?
People are still trying to claim Kong won or got an honorary win, I just don't understand how you can come to that conclusion. Kong nearly died before the humans saved him in the ocean, and he's dying when he gets saved a second time. You could argue if it wasn't for him Godzilla would've died to Mecha, but if it wasn't for the humans Kong would've died to the tail and if not for Godzilla's breath the axe never would've been able to be so effective. Besides, if Kong won round 3 and immediately had to go fight Mecha solo he would've been clapped just as easy. When he stands up at the end to face Godzilla, he's barely able to stand, dude was knocked out and Big G was up and moving, ready to fight again if he had to even after getting kicked around. There was a clear winner here, Godzilla took the W and Kong got the honorable mention.
Now, if they can get a good plot AND keep the monster battles as awesome as these were...!! I've actually stated that if this movie also included goofy Planet-X Aliens in it, it might've actually HELPED the plot more by lowering our suspension of disbelief dramatically! :P
I said the same thing after seeing it in the theater! I think because CGI is so "real" nowadays people are getting a bit confused on what they want or need from kaiju flicks, including the people making them. We also have to remember that for the most part these movies have always been marketed to kids - it can't get too intense or it gets slapped with an R rating
Keep up the great work guys, you are my favorite youtubers your energy and taste are amazing and you are real as real gets have a Kaiju sized blessed day. P.s As a diehard Godzilla fan I just got to say this movie was magical and those direct Zilla face shots were epic
PSG reading what will now be rechristened "Kongs Kaiju list of 1004 moves" lol always look forward to your reviews never a fucking let down and I love how especially Giddy LPB was she hasn't been that happy with a movie lately so that was great to see.
I love lady phatblood , I value her opinion . She is a fantastic human being. But some people will never be satisfied with a movie. Having said that I love these two a lot . I fell in love with the channel
I liked the movie but the sheer lack of Godzilla really let me down. This felt more like a Kong movie more than anything for me. I'm glad Godzilla did his thing but I wished he got more screen time. And I wished he had some sort of offense towards MechaGodzilla, all he did was get his butt handed to him
Kong pulled a Roger Murtaugh from lethal weapon after the aircraft carrier fight saying "I'm too old for this sh**t". Enjoyed this movie alot and as an added little bonus, I did not watch any footage until the film came out which made that more enjoyable for me
All these movie needed at the end, as the ultimate cliffhanger, was Kong and Godzilla having a momentary look of respect at one another and then they are distracted and startled by a spinning object of fire coming from the heavens ... and leave it there. I keep hoping for that Gamera inclusion but I doubt it will ever happen. But I can dream.
I went in skeptical but the kaiju battles were unbelievable, 100% exceeded my expectations. I have to see it in theaters again for sure. Godzilla is still king
Actually the evil chick and her cronies shoots at Kong, I don't know why none of their $HIT ever works on the Titans: than Kong grabs and crushes her and her ship
You probably won’t see this, but if you noticed at the beginning when the girl was making or adjusting the Kong doll, the stone circle? That’s from Kong skull island, when the people of the island all pulled out the spears. May sound dumb but attention to detail. I’m sure I’ve missed some things as well. Just didn’t know if you knew.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the little homage to Gamera- Kong’s connection to Jia, the little girl. Gamera always seemed to have a special bond with kids. As far as Toho taking back the rights- are they not making money off of the Monsterverse movies? I’m sure their deal gives them a cut of the profits. Even if the last Godzilla movie didn’t do too well, I’m pretty sure overall the movies have been a success. And Godzilla vs Kong is definitely saving the box office day! Now I want to see Godzilla vs Kong vs Giant Robot vs the Gargantuas vs... Gamera! C’mon, studios! Make it happen!
I enjoyed the movie, never really got bored or felt detached throughout. Of all the bonkers plotline the one i didn't get was how did mecha godzilla tap into the hollow earth power source anyway? Cause the apex people were killed before they managed to get the chunk of the source that they took to the surface. Was that some kind of charging via bluetooth? 😂
Great review and love that you both loved it. Miss seeing LPB in the live streams. Love your notes and glad you got what you wanted PSG. Hope you both get around to my review on the Facebook page. I agree with all of your points and my biggest let down was Ren Serizawa. The son of the best character under used and under developed. If they continue with more movies has to go deeper into the hollow earth Mad Max/ Planet of the apes style. Once again another great review my favorite reaction video so far
wait you missed something,, Kevin got killed too, he got electrified on the chair remember? and it turned out that King Ghidorah was controlling Mechagodzilla alone through the Ghidorah skull.
The review is so much fun, made me rewatch the movie, great job! Have to say tho, i'm kinda sad you guys didn't like KotM that much, i get why but the moments that are great in this movie are so insanely great that i always forget the bad parts. Also the music in KotM was like 1000x better than in GvK. I get it, you guys like Junkie XL and all but lets be real the music was generic as hell in GvK. It still has the best fight scenes in from all legendary films tho! Let's just hope we get more of this, also did you guys watch Singular Point? Would like to hear your thougths on it.
I also went into this movie with low expectations and since I previously watched a non spoiler review I didn’t give a rat’s ass about the plot. The fight scenes were eminently satisfying. It takes a lot for me to say “holy shit!” and I’m pretty sure I said that at least twice.
Round 1: Godzilla Round 2: Kong Round 3: Godzilla Godzilla: 2 Kong: 1 I love Godzilla and Kong but I knew Godzilla would be the overall winner. In spite of that, seeing the two of them team up against Mechagodzilla and end the feud between their races was BADASS!!!!!
I will say I find the human story not nearly as terrible and boring as many people are saying. Team Kong’s story was relevant and the relationship Kong had with the deaf girl was cute. I also liked the scientist Nathan as he was a male lead who had more realistic reactions to being around giant monsters and didn’t come off as a know-it-all like the main guy in KotM. Team Godzilla I liked less mostly because of how cartoony they all were, but their story was still relevant. I think many reviewers are being unfair about the human characters. I preferred their story in this film compared to the paper cutouts in KotM. On a personal note, Godzilla 2014 is my favourite recent Godzilla film, and it has the best human story of all the modern ones, and simple to boot. One man trying his damnedest to save his family as the world is changed by the reemergence of old gods.
This is an interesting thing that I didn’t consider until seeing this but I think it’s implied that Godzilla is so powerful and basically naturally born to be the king because his atomic breath is the energy in the hollow earth in its purest form. The energy is blue and the marks on the floor make a Godzilla shape in the ground. So his energy charges up the dorsal plate (which in itself is a reference to GMK Goji where Godzilla absorbes Ghidorah’s beams through his plates) but it also is the energy that allows him to dominate over other titans. I would love to see in the comics or a prequel series on how that monument and the energy in the hollow earth mutated the titans. Because it seems like there was a time of peace between Godzilla and Kong’s species in order to make that monument. I would love to see a society of titans because we know they’re hyper intelligent.
I'm withou you Lady! You nailed it perfect with "2-star-plot, 5-star battle". Basically translates to the last 20 minutes being the best part vs the entire movie!
This movie had what I wanted which was some great monster fights. I love both Kong and Godzilla and they both delivered!! If they continue with this monster verse where would it go from here?
When Kong looked in the ship he was making sure the little girl wasn’t in there before he crushed it
I noticed that too
Means that Kong really cares about that kid
This was a genuine old school Bar fight.
Godzilla respected Kongs heart and Kong respected Godzilla’s restraint. In the end, they respected each other
Mega GODZILLA show no respect to GODZILLA 😂
@@haytijr5823 MechaGodzilla and Godzilla’s fight was a lot like Batman vs Bane in the sewer.
Godzilla got one hit then MechaGodzilla whooped his ass convincingly
Meanwhile, Godzilla fanatics thought that Kong surrendered during that scene.
@@TheMadLeprechaun it was kinda like a surrender, is no way was it him submitting but him dropping the axe shows that he won't submit but godzilla is still Top Alpha
"respected Godzilla's restraint" you mean on him? Or the little tiny bloodsucker girl? lol Godzilla won that fight overall.
Mechagodzilla beat Godzilla like he owed him money
It's also sad seeing mechagodzilla curb stomp godzilla in the final battle.
its a robot and it was bigger duh it aint a monster beast
I almost cried when he was whooping Godzilla's butt :(
They made mecha
Way to overpowered
He did owed him money. Because its the soul of Ghidorah running Mecha G 😁
Great reaction!!!!!! Loved it when Kong gave Godzilla (The People’s Elbow)!!!!!!!!!!
Which was great cuz in Skull Island he tries to elbow a skull crawler and misses and hits a mountain
Great call back and in this one he nails it - he's come a long way lol

There was only one Ghidorah brain whitch was In the skull, over the pilot.
Edit: oh wait. Just rewatched and he really said Ghidorah's brains comunicated thelepatically, so that's why there is one In control room and "one In this thing" so... It really means they somehow have two brains?
People are still trying to claim Kong won or got an honorary win, I just don't understand how you can come to that conclusion. Kong nearly died before the humans saved him in the ocean, and he's dying when he gets saved a second time.
You could argue if it wasn't for him Godzilla would've died to Mecha, but if it wasn't for the humans Kong would've died to the tail and if not for Godzilla's breath the axe never would've been able to be so effective. Besides, if Kong won round 3 and immediately had to go fight Mecha solo he would've been clapped just as easy.
When he stands up at the end to face Godzilla, he's barely able to stand, dude was knocked out and Big G was up and moving, ready to fight again if he had to even after getting kicked around. There was a clear winner here, Godzilla took the W and Kong got the honorable mention.
Now, if they can get a good plot AND keep the monster battles as awesome as these were...!! I've actually stated that if this movie also included goofy Planet-X Aliens in it, it might've actually HELPED the plot more by lowering our suspension of disbelief dramatically! :P
I said the same thing after seeing it in the theater! I think because CGI is so "real" nowadays people are getting a bit confused on what they want or need from kaiju flicks, including the people making them. We also have to remember that for the most part these movies have always been marketed to kids - it can't get too intense or it gets slapped with an R rating
My favorite metal head youtubers reacting to a badass movie 🤘🏾 good stuff y'all!
Keep up the great work guys, you are my favorite youtubers your energy and taste are amazing and you are real as real gets have a Kaiju sized blessed day. P.s As a diehard Godzilla fan I just got to say this movie was magical and those direct Zilla face shots were epic
Seeing zilla behave like a giant alligator on all fours was fucking nuts. Then the foot on his chest like "yeah bitch you finished or are you done!"
PSG reading what will now be rechristened "Kongs Kaiju list of 1004 moves" lol always look forward to your reviews never a fucking let down and I love how especially Giddy LPB was she hasn't been that happy with a movie lately so that was great to see.
I thought that lit up image around Kong looked like Ghidorah in Godzilla Earth animated series.
Love your room, all the stuff in the background
HAHA SO TRUE ABOUT MOTHRA ALWAYS BEING BACK 😂💙
I love lady phatblood , I value her opinion . She is a fantastic human being. But some people will never be satisfied with a movie. Having said that I love these two a lot . I fell in love with the channel
There are rumors of Gigan and Destoroyah are set up for the next movies
I liked the movie but the sheer lack of Godzilla really let me down. This felt more like a Kong movie more than anything for me. I'm glad Godzilla did his thing but I wished he got more screen time. And I wished he had some sort of offense towards MechaGodzilla, all he did was get his butt handed to him
Godzilla was vicious and bad ass lol I loved this movie all three Characters Godzilla, Kong, And Mechagodzilla man what a battle 😁
Love you guys! You rock 😁 Big love from Croatia
Apex had other worldly tech, but had walmart security
I loved this movie. I'm excited to see what's next.😍
As soon as Godzilla got in four legged form the fight was over, so vicious and powerful it was scary how quickly It overpowered kong
Kong pulled a Roger Murtaugh from lethal weapon after the aircraft carrier fight saying "I'm too old for this sh**t". Enjoyed this movie alot and as an added little bonus, I did not watch any footage until the film came out which made that more enjoyable for me
Its funny cause in the end credits they credit Lethal Weapon 2.
All these movie needed at the end, as the ultimate cliffhanger, was Kong and Godzilla having a momentary look of respect at one another and then they are distracted and startled by a spinning object of fire coming from the heavens ... and leave it there. I keep hoping for that Gamera inclusion but I doubt it will ever happen. But I can dream.
I love the name they gave mechagodzilla's "atomic breath". It's called "photon scream"
I went in skeptical but the kaiju battles were unbelievable, 100% exceeded my expectations. I have to see it in theaters again for sure. Godzilla is still king
Actually the evil chick and her cronies shoots at Kong, I don't know why none of their $HIT ever works on the Titans: than Kong grabs and crushes her and her ship
You probably won’t see this, but if you noticed at the beginning when the girl was making or adjusting the Kong doll, the stone circle? That’s from Kong skull island, when the people of the island all pulled out the spears. May sound dumb but attention to detail. I’m sure I’ve missed some things as well. Just didn’t know if you knew.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the little homage to Gamera- Kong’s connection to Jia, the little girl. Gamera always seemed to have a special bond with kids. As far as Toho taking back the rights- are they not making money off of the Monsterverse movies? I’m sure their deal gives them a cut of the profits. Even if the last Godzilla movie didn’t do too well, I’m pretty sure overall the movies have been a success. And Godzilla vs Kong is definitely saving the box office day! Now I want to see Godzilla vs Kong vs Giant Robot vs the Gargantuas vs... Gamera! C’mon, studios! Make it happen!
SOS Godzilla legendary
I enjoyed the movie, never really got bored or felt detached throughout. Of all the bonkers plotline the one i didn't get was how did mecha godzilla tap into the hollow earth power source anyway? Cause the apex people were killed before they managed to get the chunk of the source that they took to the surface. Was that some kind of charging via bluetooth? 😂
The energy signature was sent to the father before the girl was killed by kong
Great review and love that you both loved it. Miss seeing LPB in the live streams. Love your notes and glad you got what you wanted PSG. Hope you both get around to my review on the Facebook page. I agree with all of your points and my biggest let down was Ren Serizawa. The son of the best character under used and under developed. If they continue with more movies has to go deeper into the hollow earth Mad Max/ Planet of the apes style. Once again another great review my favorite reaction video so far
I enjoyed it a lot I came for the fights I was satisfied lol. I'd be all in for a Kong Hollow Earth type of film though.
Just give me GORGO vs GODZILLA. Both sea lizards fighting in the ocean
I loved every minute of the Kaiju fights! It was a WWE cage match and Hong Kong was the cage! Fans trash talking! Lots of fun!!!
Im sorry, but the music from the trailer was perfect.
My memory of that movie is that of a drunk guy at the bar. Just the fights.....
wait you missed something,, Kevin got killed too, he got electrified on the chair remember? and it turned out that King Ghidorah was controlling Mechagodzilla alone through the Ghidorah skull.
The review is so much fun, made me rewatch the movie, great job! Have to say tho, i'm kinda sad you guys didn't like KotM that much, i get why but the moments that are great in this movie are so insanely great that i always forget the bad parts. Also the music in KotM was like 1000x better than in GvK. I get it, you guys like Junkie XL and all but lets be real the music was generic as hell in GvK. It still has the best fight scenes in from all legendary films tho! Let's just hope we get more of this, also did you guys watch Singular Point? Would like to hear your thougths on it.
Godzilla bows to no one
I like how the thumbnail, the Kong Funko Figure looks very concerned. Lol
I love you guys, you two are just awesome.
I also went into this movie with low expectations and since I previously watched a non spoiler review I didn’t give a rat’s ass about the plot.
The fight scenes were eminently satisfying. It takes a lot for me to say “holy shit!” and I’m pretty sure I said that at least twice.
Round 1: Godzilla
Round 2: Kong
Round 3: Godzilla
Godzilla: 2
Kong: 1
I love Godzilla and Kong but I knew Godzilla would be the overall winner. In spite of that, seeing the two of them team up against Mechagodzilla and end the feud between their races was BADASS!!!!!
I will say I find the human story not nearly as terrible and boring as many people are saying.
Team Kong’s story was relevant and the relationship Kong had with the deaf girl was cute. I also liked the scientist Nathan as he was a male lead who had more realistic reactions to being around giant monsters and didn’t come off as a know-it-all like the main guy in KotM.
Team Godzilla I liked less mostly because of how cartoony they all were, but their story was still relevant.
I think many reviewers are being unfair about the human characters. I preferred their story in this film compared to the paper cutouts in KotM.
On a personal note, Godzilla 2014 is my favourite recent Godzilla film, and it has the best human story of all the modern ones, and simple to boot. One man trying his damnedest to save his family as the world is changed by the reemergence of old gods.
Her father turned around like 🥴 lmao
This is an interesting thing that I didn’t consider until seeing this but I think it’s implied that Godzilla is so powerful and basically naturally born to be the king because his atomic breath is the energy in the hollow earth in its purest form. The energy is blue and the marks on the floor make a Godzilla shape in the ground. So his energy charges up the dorsal plate (which in itself is a reference to GMK Goji where Godzilla absorbes Ghidorah’s beams through his plates) but it also is the energy that allows him to dominate over other titans. I would love to see in the comics or a prequel series on how that monument and the energy in the hollow earth mutated the titans. Because it seems like there was a time of peace between Godzilla and Kong’s species in order to make that monument. I would love to see a society of titans because we know they’re hyper intelligent.
Great review, I hope there might be some more (and honestly my own selfish reasons) with Gigan
I'm withou you Lady! You nailed it perfect with "2-star-plot, 5-star battle". Basically translates to the last 20 minutes being the best part vs the entire movie!
When kong killed that woman all I could think of was dragon ball z broly when he crushes his dad in the spaceship.
The movie is so awesome but just hearing Phat say," Rocket powered elbow attacks" is life 💯
Mecha G did indeed have a tail laser! good catch Lady P; and he never used it....oof Phat Samurai calling him "Zilla" ;)
This movie had what I wanted which was some great monster fights. I love both Kong and Godzilla and they both delivered!! If they continue with this monster verse where would it go from here?
I'd like to see Destroyah.
I really wish I can hang out with you guys! Haha
In all actuallity they both saved the day because without Godzilla charging the ax they both would've died
I have been waiting to see how you two felt
Dumb storyline, it sounds like every single Godzilla film ever made. I knew what I was getting into before I watched it, I loved every moment of it.
