Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Adam Wingard, March 29, 2024) Movie • Page 23

Have not heard of or seen that film. Bummed to see Wingard leaving, but hoping he gets back into horror or gets some other cool opportunities.

 

His next movie is a new horror movie with Simon Barrett writing it. I believe it’s shooting this Fall.

 

Ah, I do remember seeing that. That's great!

 

Finally getting the deleted scene with Akira Takarada

 

Didn’t really like this at all, unfortunately. I did watch Resurrection yesterday so it was funny to see two complete extremes of Rebecca Hall in as many days.

 

Resurrection is so goddamn good

 

i got to see the OG in a theater the other day. it was amazing

 

OG King Kong?

 

whoops. no, the other monster

 

I’m liking this but man there’s a part of me that wishes they went with a Planet of the Apes vibes with this instead of interspersing the human story

 

Yeah this fucking ruled. Just got done watching. I have some complaints but I got plenty of big monster action and that’s what I’m here for.

 

My very low expectations did miracles for my experience watching this, honestly had a great time

 

seriously. It’s not a great movie but I had a great time watching it. It’s probably my least favorite of the MonsterVerse movies but also probably the one I had the most fun watching.

Everyone’s asleep so I’m downstairs watching it alone and when Kong snatches up the little Kong and starts smacking the other apes around I fucking lost it. Kong entertainment levels were off the charts in this one.

That came at the expense of Godzilla though, who is my favorite and his part being very meh in this is probably why it’s my least favorite of the MonsterVerse.

 

Really hope the next one is more Godzilla
focused and that they do try to return to a more serious/dangerous tone.

 

Yeah the fact that this one was knowingly so unserious did so much to make the movie enjoyable. Best of the last 3 (KOTM, GvK)

 

See I think KOTM is still my favorite out of all of them. But it wasn’t as fun as this one was haha

 

I like this more than Godzilla vs. Kong and think it's on par with KOTM, which I seem to enjoy more than others.

 

G14 is my favorite because the first hour is the best hour of the franchise.

 

And then what happens

 

My son loved this btw. Think he got a new appreciation for Kong after being a big Godzilla fan.

KOTM has been on TV a lot lately and is on now and it made me realize I really miss Serizawa and Dr. Chen

 

I liked this!

 

Thought the human story was much more toned down which helped. Also Mini Kong was mvp. When he helped Kong with the botched rock trap and grabbed the axe on the way through the portal. Clutch stuff.


Also Skar King had a cool design.
