@@MonsterIslandBuddies But it could've been written out of the movie completely and just have them just show up as a cameo in both the beginning and the end not being aware of the whole situation the entire time.
I don’t necessarily agree but the criticism has some merit, I’ll admit. The plots could’ve tied together tighter. But at least - unlike GvK - my B plot had an ending XD
In KotM, they said that when Godzilla and the MUTOs destroyed Janjira, Las Vegas, Honolulu, and San Francisco, the entire cities were terraformed by the radiation the Titans emit. And then later in the movie, the ENTIRE WORLD is ravaged by the Titans. Washington DC, Moscow, London, dozens of cities and countries across the globe were attacked by Titans, and then after King Ghidorah is slain, Godzilla becomes their king. I was so excited to see what this new world would look like now that the titans were awoken and roaming free, but too bad we never get the slightest mention of what has changed since their awakening, movie had to focus on more important stuff like Millie Bobbie Brown, the podcaster guy, and the kid from Deadpool 2 talking about bleach and tapwater
@@TheDuckyDino It was more brutal and a fair fight, godzilla loses but still hit mechagodzilla and fight back, making his "death" more impactful. In this one, they just turned godzilla into a punching ball, to have monkey boy save the day( I have nothing against king kong, but they could have done it better).
@@Megaspinosaurusrex well goji was weak after he blew a hole into the earth and fighting Kong. MG is designed to counter Godzilla, and Kevin knew how to fight him. If Godzilla did not fight Kong or blew a hole into the earth, it would've been fair fight, with either one of them winning or losing
One thing I have a problem with in the movie was how Madison's Dad for some reason says that he thinks Godzilla has turned and how "People Change" and I'm just wondering "shouldn't he be on his daughter's side on why Godzilla is acting strange? Especially after what he's experienced in the last film with Dr. Serizawa and his sacrifice?" If he wasn't going to have a significant part of the story, they could of just explain that he is on his daughter's side but he can't do anything due to work and that's it, there really wasn't a reason to take a step back on his development
Mark and Dr. Chen should've been in this movie instead of Maddie and Josh because it at least make sense for Chen knowing something is wrong with Godzilla and why Mark wouldn't want to investigate it
Agree, they could show us Mark and Chen being a couple (I ship them since Godzilla 2, if you pay atention, in KOTM, aside from Chen explaining to Mark about her family, in the scene where Dr. Serizawa sacrifices himself, the explosion makes the sub shake and then, she grabs on Mark’s hand)
Chen was in the movie, as well as a ton more with Mark Russell. AND THEY FUCKING CUT IT ALL! Damn. DMan1954 said in a thing that he and Up From the Depths did with a couple of others (can't remember who off the top of my head), that he felt this was the absolute best version of the film. That would be released theatrically. There is a much better movie on the cutting room floor. I, more or less, agree. And Film Theorists of all places recently did a video hypothesizing on what that cut would have contained. I think that video actually got pretty close to the mark too!
OK, does that mean we will get Kiko? And maybe they should build up to the MonsterVerse version of Minilla or Godzilla Jr. (and this time, no more donkey noises, smoke rings, OR him saying, "Godzilla said that I should fight my own battles, you know", my guess is that MonsterVerse Minilla will look like a smaller version of the Big G and can put up (and win) a fight of his own (in other words, he will be more like a better version of Godzilla Filius from the Anime Trilogy, but still retain friendliness towards humans like OG Minilla or Godzilla Jr.)).
This video surprisingly sums up my feelings in a nutshell. Also, Hollywood, STOP MAKING US BUY TIE IN NOVELS AND COMICS JUST TO GET THE FULL BASELINE STORY IN YOUR FUCKING MOVIE! It's a shitty practice that excuses bad writing in films and needs to stop.
This is exactly the issue that every movie of Wingard has: Plotholes and a messy all over the place plot. It's like he is kinda lazy to develop a proper plot for a movie honestly...I only loved the movie for the wild monster fights, the visuals and smiling Godzilla.
Film had over 5 hours of footage that basically belonged to the Humans, besides it's better they get straight to the point instead of having us stuck with the Humans for the whole film like Godzilla 2014 and KotM
to be fair he wasn't exactly taken down, just distracted for a second. he was just fine after a second, so all that really happened was he slowed down for a second. godzilla and kong still had to do the dirty work.
Given that this MechaGodzilla was made by a greedy corporation, I have no doubt they cut corners to save a few bucks here and there. They made him look threatening, but in reality he functions just as well as ED 209.
Well if you go by the story of Yamato no Orochi, King Ghidorah's design was inspired by the Orochi minus 5 more heads. Since MechaGodzilla has King Ghidorah's brain pouring beer into the system makes sense. Orochi was defeated by getting intoxicated.
The best human character for me was the Mute girl. I think her acting was pretty impressive and felt the most real to me. Her performance is the only one I actually remember from the human characters.
In the credits for KOTM, there's a newspaper clip stating the titans were converging on Skull Island. I was really hoping Skull Island would become Monster Island, but that didn't happen.
This was actually the very first film I get to watch in the big screen and it was definitely a good experience for me, I'm very glad I get to watch this at the movie theater since the pandemic shut everything down.
Yeah, my only real problem with the Godzilla side of the story is that they could and should have had just one scene of exposing Apex to the world and clearing Godzilla's name. Would have made their plotline worthwhile. Other then some other nitpicks I agree, 4/5
Actually, the Iwi were evacuated off Skull Island before a remnant of Ghidorah's swarm engulfed the island. Jia is the only Iwi LIVING on Skull Island.
I don't think that that was how it went down. At least not in the film version; I haven't read the novelization, so that universe may be different. Can you elaborate? Where you got this? Where they were moved to? Why was Jia left if her people are still alive? Etc.
You know what? I love your very fair critique on this movie’s “homework assignments”. If it was like 30 or 40 minutes longer to flesh out the characters and plot lines as well as like 4 sentences about where all the other monsters went this would’ve been a perfect 5/5 for me instead of just 4/5.
I liked King of the monsters much better. It felt more like more love was put into the film. There's not one human scene in Godzilla versus Kong I can strongly say I liked.
Orga:”When else in your life time whenever you’ll see Godzilla and Kong on the same side. MV Godzilla:”There’s this children’s book...there’s this children’s book called-“ (Orga closes the door on MV Godzilla) I laughed a lot about this since I’m suffering on trying to find the time to finish reading the actual novel. 😂
ok, this explains perfectly how i feel about the movie--especially the whole extended universe excuses movies have been using lately. I have watched Godzilla vs Kong in my pj's more time then i care to admit, but I will say many more will come
Also, get ready for Orga's review of Godzilla: The Planet Eater. My guess is that he will be VERY angry at the plot, the ending, and King Ghidorah's design, and he will give an angry lecture to both Godzilla Earth and Anime Trilogy Ghidorah.
Godzilla vs. Kong was like being hit in the head during a pillow fight. Sure, it's not the worst thing ever and in some cases can lead to something fun happening, but at the same time it can be annoying and you just can't stand anymore of it.
I liked the movie... but I'm loving the novelization. All the characters are so much more fleshed out. Maddison is experiencing PTSD from Ghidorahs attack, and her dad is struggling balancing his job at Monarch with raising Maddie to be a normal teenager instead of a Monarch Sidekick. Bernie joined Apex because his wife worked there and she started to uncover what was going on before she died. There's so much more than what the movie tells you. I'm about 3 hours into it on Audible and I just got done with Godzilla attacking Pensacola. I know it's dumb that you have to read the comics/novel to get more of the story, but it's honestly a good read.
I've gotta to be honest, Godzilla vs Kong is everything I wished King of the Monsters was. Is it the best kajiu movie I've seen? No. But it's fun its own way and I won't lie, seeing Kong and Godzilla together again made my heart squee.
Great review man! And I agree some of the human characters should have been handled much better and things further explained. It was still a fantastic entry though and my favorite with kotm being a close second.
Tbf they cant fit everything into one movie and tons of people would complain about "Exposition" because everything I an issue for some people and atleast this way we can see what happened
I was thinking that the electric shock the science man gets is gonna render him deaf, in like a humbling moment. He was trying to act like a big, fompetent leader, be like his brother, but by the end he is punished for using Kong and Jia to essentially get famous, and through that experience, he now sees the words through Kong and Jia's perspective.
The director for this movie has gone on to say they had to cut over 3 hours of extra footage because King of the Monsters didn’t do as well as they wanted at the box office and weren’t certain if they could release the full movie Adam Wingard had made. I’m seriously hoping they release a director’s cut of this movie, because it could be so much better. I’ll admit I’m able to make peace with and/or kind of explain away the plot holes and weird choices so I don’t really have any problems with them, except that Ren Serizawa was underused when he’s related to a very important character. The basic characters we have I felt had just enough background and reason to be there to influence the way the story goes that I was ok with them, though getting more of them to make the characters and story better would be great.
G14 deserve more love. Seriously, the characters weren't great, but they weren't annoying, and the plot didn't contradict every single detail in the monsterverse every second. But for some reason this movie is the masterpiece because kong did the monkey flip while flying with purple rocks, and godzilla broke his jaws while creating a meme, while G14 is criticised for having limited godzilla screen time and basic human characters (just like 90 percent of any monster movie and godzilla movie ever created). The fight on the aircraft was fun though.
Yeah dude literally throughout the entire movie I kept repeating "Wow okay then I guess we're going in that direction. I gue-guess this is happening". But I'm glad they did because Godzilla drilling a hole directly into the center of the earth was INCREDIBLE. But yeah I really wish they would stop putting major interesting story elements into the books.
Yeah but king of the monsters was better because it explained the plot and the characters reasons better and it had fun throwbacks and Easter eggs for Godzilla fans
I thought this film was absolutely amazing! Yeah, I do hope they make an extended cut eventually. But, as it is now, I'm personally very satisfied! This was just such a fun ride from beginning to end. Those fight scenes! HOT DAMN!
Hell yes your doing Godzilla vs Kong best Tuesday ever. 0:43 nope son of Kong, a skull island animated series on Netflix and a Godzilla TV show on apple plus is next
dude me too, I was like they DOWNLOADED A BATTERY! and I was very disappointed on how they treated Madison considering she was trained by eco-terrorist and they wasted her potential. Also, there is so much information that is not given in the movie, I found out by spoiler on who the ren guy was and was annoyed they didnt elaborate who he is and why he was doing it.
I honestly think they could have done much more with Nathan. They clearly planned a character development for him, whats not with him being a coward originally and changed for the better. According to GvK novel, Godzilla hate Kong species because they hunted other titans and enslaved them. Godzilla had live long enough to see all the massacres unfold but Kong is just an orphan, who knew nothing of his ancestors' wrongdoings. He's the victim of a tragedy. Had they implemented that lore, they could give Kong a perfect parallel with Nathan. Nathan who's just a YES-man to Apex despite their evil intention while Kong has his evil ancestor's history dragging him down, making him a potential pray for the heroic Godzilla. By the end of the movie, Kong decided he will fight his own battle, not letting said history decide who he is, making Godzilla spare him in honor of his choice. Nathan meanwhile would learn from Kong and decide to stop helping Apex and fight alongside Jia in favor of saving the world : Doing something that is his own choice. This would not only add depth to Nathan's character but would also make the audience understands Kong more as he now has a human parallel who, in a sense, went through the same journey he have, while also solidifying the reason Godzilla hunt Kong (which i felt is a lil bit lacking. Ancient rivalry indeed but Godzilla felt more like a bully when you consider Kong knows nothing of him)
I agree. It was even established that when the movie was in production Alexander Scarsgard said that his character was more or less an "average" person who's not full-on heroic but will push through. Just like Ford in the 2014 movie I think his character was a little sidetracked and underdeveloped. Nathan was a decent character in the movie but I think they could've him a little more background and showed his relationship with his brother before he died. I think Kong using sign language was a little under utilized. His relationship with Jia is interesting and I wished that they would show more of Kong's intellect of sign language other than "saying" home.
What the- Is no one gonna talk about how Orga barley *Just barely* talks about Mechagodzilla. He said his name and then just forgets About It. *EDIT, never mind, I bought the Book adaptation of this Review.*
Orga: "Congratulations Legendary Godzilla! You are now the most powerful Godzilla in history! Shit be damn." Godzilla: "Fuckin' A". Hahahahahaaha! Awesome review. Overall Godzilla Vs Kong is a fun movie that combines story beats and scenes from previous Toho Kong and Godzilla films. It is the best Legendary Monster-verse movie in my opinion and that is on repeat viewing at this house as well.
Mib loved all the points you put out there especially when the spider thing took the energy from the holo earth that was the stupidest thing ever, when it started printing in the apex place i literally got up and got a water. Also where can i get that book
Great video! While a fun film, it has flaws that unfortunately brought the movie down in some parts and missing plot elements that are very noticeable throughout the narrative, especially the one with Serizawa's son which really bugs me. Despite the flaws, it's still enjoyable that finally given us the rematch we have been waiting for!
That energy thing I can explain even without expanded material. All Apex did was take a sample of the energy, scanned its signature, and sent their findings to HQ to be synthesized.

The director for this movie has gone on to say they had to cut over 3 hours of extra footage because King of the Monsters didn’t do as well as they wanted at the box office and weren’t certain if they could release the full movie Adam Wingard had made. I’m seriously hoping they release a director’s cut of this movie, because it could be so much better. I’ll admit I’m able to make peace with and/or kind of explain away the plot holes and weird choices so I don’t really have any problems with them, except that Ren Serizawa was underused when he’s related to a very important character. The basic characters we have I felt had just enough background and reason to be there to influence the way the story goes that I was ok with them, though getting more of them to make the characters and story better would be great.
Orga sounds piss because if this is the final movie then he won't get a chance to appear in the monsterverse
7:57 Ok, I know this sounds stupid but that book looks legitimately interesting. I’ve never seen it before. Book review perhaps MIB???
I want the book now 😩
Legendary somehow made a hour and a half movie feel like 20 minutes
Not even joking, i watched it at the cinema, and it wasn't even split into two halves for a break.
@@succubastard1019 it was kinda bad really, they could've had way better music and made it more of a movie than a short story
Fun fact : the creator said Godzilla wasn't at his full strength because he use most to dig a hole in the center of the earth
G14 deserve more love. Seriously, the characters weren't great, but they weren't annoying, and the plot didn't contradict every single detail in the monsterverse every second. But for some reason this movie is the masterpiece because kong did the monkey flip while flying with purple rocks, and godzilla broke his jaws while creating a meme, while G14 is criticised for having limited godzilla screen time and basic human characters (just like 90 percent of any monster movie and godzilla movie ever created). The fight on the aircraft was fun though.
Yeah dude literally throughout the entire movie I kept repeating "Wow okay then I guess we're going in that direction. I gue-guess this is happening". But I'm glad they did because Godzilla drilling a hole directly into the center of the earth was INCREDIBLE.
But yeah I really wish they would stop putting major interesting story elements into the books.
There's gonna be a Monsterverse "Son of Kong" film apparently
Yeah but king of the monsters was better because it explained the plot and the characters reasons better and it had fun throwbacks and Easter eggs for Godzilla fans
I thought this film was absolutely amazing! Yeah, I do hope they make an extended cut eventually. But, as it is now, I'm personally very satisfied! This was just such a fun ride from beginning to end. Those fight scenes! HOT DAMN!
Hell yes your doing Godzilla vs Kong best Tuesday ever. 0:43 nope son of Kong, a skull island animated series on Netflix and a Godzilla TV show on apple plus is next
I like how Orga acknowledges the people who will comment about the book
“Possibly last film”
*Legendary not even 24 hours ago:*
*haha son of monke*
Seeing Kong fight Mechagodzilla is like seeing Sonic fight Bowser.... it was amazing
dude me too, I was like they DOWNLOADED A BATTERY! and I was very disappointed on how they treated Madison considering she was trained by eco-terrorist and they wasted her potential. Also, there is so much information that is not given in the movie, I found out by spoiler on who the ren guy was and was annoyed they didnt elaborate who he is and why he was doing it.
I honestly think they could have done much more with Nathan. They clearly planned a character development for him, whats not with him being a coward originally and changed for the better. According to GvK novel, Godzilla hate Kong species because they hunted other titans and enslaved them. Godzilla had live long enough to see all the massacres unfold but Kong is just an orphan, who knew nothing of his ancestors' wrongdoings. He's the victim of a tragedy. Had they implemented that lore, they could give Kong a perfect parallel with Nathan. Nathan who's just a YES-man to Apex despite their evil intention while Kong has his evil ancestor's history dragging him down, making him a potential pray for the heroic Godzilla. By the end of the movie, Kong decided he will fight his own battle, not letting said history decide who he is, making Godzilla spare him in honor of his choice. Nathan meanwhile would learn from Kong and decide to stop helping Apex and fight alongside Jia in favor of saving the world : Doing something that is his own choice. This would not only add depth to Nathan's character but would also make the audience understands Kong more as he now has a human parallel who, in a sense, went through the same journey he have, while also solidifying the reason Godzilla hunt Kong (which i felt is a lil bit lacking. Ancient rivalry indeed but Godzilla felt more like a bully when you consider Kong knows nothing of him)
I agree. It was even established that when the movie was in production Alexander Scarsgard said that his character was more or less an "average" person who's not full-on heroic but will push through. Just like Ford in the 2014 movie I think his character was a little sidetracked and underdeveloped. Nathan was a decent character in the movie but I think they could've him a little more background and showed his relationship with his brother before he died. I think Kong using sign language was a little under utilized. His relationship with Jia is interesting and I wished that they would show more of Kong's intellect of sign language other than "saying" home.
IT’S ABOUT TIME!
The return of the King
I really enjoyed this movie, but man do I wish they showed the Godzilla vs Kongs war. That would have been awesome to watch
If you look carefully, there's a Godzilla skeleton in Kong's throne room. The ax was buried in its skull (I think).
ConstantineFurman Oh, that’s actually pretty cool
What the-
Is no one gonna talk about how Orga barley *Just barely* talks about Mechagodzilla.
He said his name and then just forgets About It.
*EDIT, never mind, I bought the Book adaptation of this Review.*
YES I was so excited for orga to review this
I love that Legendary's Mechagodzilla is basically Space Kiryu.
"Last in film in the Monsterverse"
Reporters: Adam in works for more legendary monsterverse.
I love that where getting more
I’m so happy for orga to review an Godzilla movie
Good shit Orga!
“Oh Good! The movie came with homework!”
-Orga
Orga: "Congratulations Legendary Godzilla! You are now the most powerful Godzilla in history! Shit be damn." Godzilla: "Fuckin' A". Hahahahahaaha! Awesome review. Overall Godzilla Vs Kong is a fun movie that combines story beats and scenes from previous Toho Kong and Godzilla films. It is the best Legendary Monster-verse movie in my opinion and that is on repeat viewing at this house as well.
You always have a way to make me laugh😂
Mib loved all the points you put out there especially when the spider thing took the energy from the holo earth that was the stupidest thing ever, when it started printing in the apex place i literally got up and got a water.
Also where can i get that book
YES. I’ve been waiting for this!
I remember I used to watch this guy when I was 8. So many memories r goin through my head rn. I thnk imma cry🥺😭
Great video! While a fun film, it has flaws that unfortunately brought the movie down in some parts and missing plot elements that are very noticeable throughout the narrative, especially the one with Serizawa's son which really bugs me. Despite the flaws, it's still enjoyable that finally given us the rematch we have been waiting for!
Just watched this last night and HOLY SHIT I loved how insanely goofy it was!
Orga's back in the house in! :D
Now everyone's together and let them fight monster island buddies 2021
I think I know how they made this movie
King Kong skull island
Godzilla King of the monster
And the last recipe mechacodzilla
Holy shit, Orga. Now that's a monster i have not seen in a long time. Man, good memories.
I had a completely inverse reaction to the movie, and yet I finally feel so validated by this review. Thanks, MIB.. err... Orga.
Do you plan to review the two legendary prequel books of Godzilla vs Kong on your comic book review series?
That energy thing I can explain even without expanded material.
All Apex did was take a sample of the energy, scanned its signature, and sent their findings to HQ to be synthesized.
Looks like kong finally got that rematch, and *oh boy be careful what you wish for.*
Seeing orga laugh so hard is so satisfying for no reason
