Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Adam Wingard, March 29, 2024) Movie • Page 18

For anyone here that enjoys bubble tea

 

This was so trash it’s unreal

I’d give anything to watch this with Gareth Edwards and the Minus One team

 

What the last few films severely lack is a sense of human characters as collateral damage.

All of the humans we follow are safely away from the danger during the battles (minus the ocean battle in GvK). This causes us to miss the scope by not including human POV and to not really feel any distress during a moment when we should be feeling distress. The monsters are battling in our cities!

I enjoy the battle in 2014 because Ford is in the middle of it and we constantly get a feel of how disastrous it would be to get caught in these conflicts.

I would have loved to a human POV of Kong punching Scar King in the face. Wingard did a good job with showing more of Kong as a character in his response to Scar King’s cruelty.

The way Scar King would lean back reminded me of Negan, however.

 

I thought Dan Stevens character was god awful and BTH’s was annoying as hell again. And the way they go to hollow earth with one security guy, a dentist and a podcaster is so stupid.

 

I don’t think I’d be seeing this tomorrow if it wasn’t for my friend wanting to go on his birthday

 

So you’re saying I should do the cheap theater for this one

 

I’d say it’s still worth seeing on the big screen if you like these movies at all but it’s pretty bad.

 

It’s a MonsterVerse film. It will look much better on a big screen.

 

There is a seven and a half hour gap between my hotel checkout and my flight time. Should I see the monsters fight or go to the World War II museum?

 

Biggest opening for the MonsterVerse. I’d say they’ll be continuing with the outlandish tone.

 

Depends. Do you want to rest your brain or nah

 

To think that these two scenes are in the same world is unreal

 

lol

I am going to skip this one in theaters I think just based off that image.

 

don’t forget to get me a ticket brother

 

This the type of movie where we get some drinks first

 

outta town this weekend but if you wanna go next I’m game brother

 

If only this movie had a Kong popcorn bucket I could fu….I mean yeah great opening weekend!

 

I slept through most of the middle. The Bradley Cooper look-a-like was doing a Guardians of the Galaxy impression, right?

 

I always like when they show some of the most famous landmarks in the world to establish location but then they still put it up in big font just in case.

 

that’s what I thought, down to his soundtrack and everything.

 

On the one hand, Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island did better worldwide than any of the films after.

On the other hand, I imagine the current style makes it easier to market merchandise to kids.

 

There were a ton of parents with their kids at my 18:00 showing last night.

 

Is the logic of these films is that modern military technology couldn't easily kill the titans themselves?

 

Have you ever actually watched a Godzilla film before?
