presumably a kong tall enough to battle godzilla would also be too big to stand comfortably on top of the empire state building.

can't imagine any value from watching this trailer that wouldn't be bettered by watching Shin Godzilla or the '33 Kong again
― shivers me timber (sic), Monday, 25 January 2021 10:42 (three years ago) link
that preview belongs to some different pre-covid world where we were supposed to take this even vaguely seriously
yeah "THIS YEAR, ONE WILL FALL" maybe not the best tagline for a 2021 trailer idk
I suggest GODZILLA VS KONG: WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT?

I'm not really keen on Kong's neatly trimmed hipster beard.

Will this be the franchise entry that finally tackles the issue of the monsters' respective digestive processes?

Would be awesome if the upcoming CGI headache turned out to be another secret reboot of "Blair Witch."

Loved GODZILLA VS. KONG! Great, comprehensible action, a fittingly gonzo story, and they did an incredible job hiding their big twist (for most of the movie, both Godzilla and Kong are very, very small)— ben mekler (@benmekler) March 21, 2021
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 21 March 2021 18:00 (three years ago) link
The script is rotten, but kid me would have ate this up. Daylight CGI Godzilla! Kong! They fight! More than once! And a third joins in! Kids save the day!
And as someone noted elsewhere, Kong has an axe.

Yeah, solid stuff. These two tweets are complementary and accurate:
Totally appreciated that Godzilla Vs Kong was apparently scripted by a 12-year-old boy after eating all his Halloween candy at once - this is not a diss— Art Of Coop (@ARTofCOOP) April 1, 2021

In case anyone is wondering, #GodzillaVsKong's Jia is played by a Deaf actress, Kaylee Hottle and I hope this debut role leads to so many more. I loved her! pic.twitter.com/zDVKGSuMtS— Kate Sánchez⁷ (@OhMyMithrandir) March 31, 2021

this is MUCH better than Skull Island, and crazier

Isn’t “too much humans talking about some bullshit” a major part of the Godzilla experience
― Canon in Deez (silby), Thursday, 1 April 2021 06:28 (three years ago) link
Like the effects are expensive and you gotta hit the runtime so put some people you don’t care about in there talking about stuff that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t matter
Talking scenes in kaiju films should be funny or camp, that's what the '60s/'70s Godzilla films understood
― Josefa, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:41 (three years ago) link
Kong: Skull Island was that
the previous two Godzilla films have been deathly boring though
― Number None, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:44 (three years ago) link
Godzilla vs Kong was kind of flat compared to Skull Island. I thought that one, even when the human characters were goofy, had decent characterization and you could point to each character and explain their motivation. GvsK just... has motivations that make no sense whatsoever
It did deliver everything promised by the title, though.

Shin Godzilla, which I will never shut up about, had a lot of human time which was.awesome
― lukas, Thursday, 1 April 2021 17:11 (three years ago) link
The exception that proves the rule -- the whole point of Shin Godzilla isn't the monster so much as the fuck-ups.

still waiting for the gonzo Fury Road/Raid version of one of these thats just all the good stuff and none of the boring stuff

idk maybe i dont have the patience to enjoy these movies the way they are meant to be enjoyed but i got very frustrated with how complicated the plot was and how many characters there were in order to create situations where king kong and godzilla fight each other. idgaf about the backstory of the guy who does the podcast about the monster technology company or the handsome guy piloting the hollow earth shuttlecraft or w/e, monster smash stuff plz.
the fights btw godzilla and king kong were very fun especially the underwater stuff but in the big city i kept wishing the camera would step back and stay still more so i could see them better, i was losing patience for the 'you are there' swooping videogame camera moves and closeups, but i guess thats how modern CGI action is presented now. this was still fun but i also wish i'd just fast forwarded through everything except the parts where kong and/or godzilla smash stuff.
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:00 (three years ago) link
This was cool. Still prefer the pulpy and trim(mer) “Skull Island”, though.
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 2 April 2021 20:52 (three years ago) link
just watched godzilla 2014....a few amazing moments of godzilla ownage but a bit of a slog to get there. going from cranston to tylor-johnson as focus character is a huge downgrade. the dusty grey was irritating but it made the halo jumping sequence look incredible, that almost has the feeling of what a good live-action Eva should feel like. but only for about.....2 minutes.

meanwhile Skull Island is even better than I remembered. considering the sheer density of MCU actors in this it's a miracle vogt-roberts didn't get sucked into that orbit (or hasn't yet, anyway). it looks so good!
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Saturday, 3 April 2021 12:59 (three years ago) link
man, this was absolute dogshit trash. you don't need to have the tightest script or the most memorable performances in a monster movie, but you should probably at least try

This was like a cross between one of the bad '70s Godzilla movies and a bad '80s movie but with state of the art special effects that ... wasn't totally bad? But was totally stupid. I suppose in the end I'd much rather something like this be almost totally incoherent but come in under two hours than try to be incoherent, hit 2 1/2 hours and still be incoherent. And boring. Which this was at times, too, but again, at under 2 hours, it could have been worse. But not much stupider.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:50 (three years ago) link
In 2021 “under two hours” is like an automatic 7/10 minimum.
― Canon in Deez (silby), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:51 (three years ago) link
the effects were...fine? kong haymakering godzilla on the aircraft carrier was p sick, otherwise this would have just been better as a video game
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:52 (three years ago) link
Def. felt 90+% CG, that's for sure. Would play a game that looked like this. Certainly the games I've been playing lately have been better written.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:08 (three years ago) link
I only noticed the liquid/green blood effects being extremely janky, almost Xavier Renegade Angel-esque at times
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:12 (three years ago) link
I assumed they did that partly so that the grisly stuff (monsters beheaded, brains sucked out, creatures getting ripped in half, etc.) wouldn't get the movie an R.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:18 (three years ago) link
I really think brody nailed what was missing with this flick
I gotta respect Brody panning #GodzillaVsKong despite all the "how do you do fellow kids" types on here who decided it's so dumb you get to love it. There's little worse than the professional culture drudge who decides to let us know, "I'm fun!" They always pick the wrong movie.— Pfizer Wilhelm (@benschwartz_) April 3, 2021
