This video was uploaded on April 1st. While the review itself is true, the parts about this movie being "Better than minus one" is the joke. It's clear in the video... buuuuuuut I'm starting to see people race to the comments before finishing it 🤡
@MonsterIslandBuddies what makes Godzilla x Kong a New Empire so good aside the human characters
you sly dog I see what you did but I didn’t see this until I saw the movie proper
GOOD
I totes got that
Hahaha I guess I contributed
Kong is such a likable guy that he could literally use you like nunchucks, and you'll still take his side.
Ha!
@@MonsterIslandBuddies umm... Where can i watch the movie for free?
@@MonsterIslandBuddiesI’m mad you didn’t mention Godzilla pulling a suplex on Kong
@@Mr.Eggthreal Your anger is justified
Heh! He was truly the star of this film.
I thought the 37 hour long make out scene between Godzilla and Shimo was a little unnecessary but having it lead into the final fight caught me off guard so anyways 10/10 movie
Fr
I really liked the sex scene between Kong and Scar King. A little short but still really steamy.
Love wins!
@@Saltyaf38I loved it
The Mothra stripper scene was nice
Godzilla curls up and sleeps in the Roman Colosseum. 10/10 this movie is an automatic comfort flick for me.
I want to shake the hand of whoever decided Godzilla should lateral suplex Kong off the pyramid.
"Just don't judge one film by the standard of the other".
If only the critics had that mentality. Seriously, I read a ton of the negative reviews and most of them were just comparing the film to Minus One instead of critiquing the film on its own merits.
Honestly the PSA at the end of the video was written more with critics in mind than fans
Bro read maybe three tweets lol
@@mycaleb8 I read most of the negative reviews, because I was curious to see if they were actually giving the movie any valid criticism or just basing their reviews on Minus One. Unsurprisingly, a good chunk of them were just bashing the movie by comparing it to Minus One. I can assure you that I read more than "three tweets" (mostly because I stay off of Twitter).
@@SasquaDash Sure bud
@@SasquaDashI feel like it’s toxic if people are gonna use Minus One as an excuse to hate every other Godzilla show. Like these guys got the same logic as Doktor Skipper
I thought i would hate this movie, but i ended up liking it.
Me too
Same here, now GxK is one of my favorite godzilla films, and shimo is one of my favorite characters
@@LordSpaceGodzilla I know, I wish we could’ve seen more of her
Me too, even if a liked more the serious tone of Godzilla 2014 or Kong Skull Island i must say this film was entertaining
Bro same!!
the best part of the movie is there are no cutaways between the monster fight scenes and the human scenes
There are, but they’re not too long to where it makes you feel blueballed like in KotM
@@yuyaricachimuel555You mean Godzilla 2014? That movie denied us EVERY fight until the end.
@@MrShadow2x the 2014 movie was the worst for a 2 hour movie.. Godzilla only had 6-7 minutes of screen time
@@jlgonzales2322 Well yeah it's a Godzilla film.
He has more screentime in 2014 than he does in the original film. By one minute.
@@jlgonzales2322 For a long time, I hated 2014 for those two reasons. Yes, them killing off Bryan Cranston's character pretty early was a frustrating choice, but that movie made many other frustrating choices too. It's slowly grown on me over the years, but it's my least favorite entry of the Monsterverse and probably always will be. Every movie since then has been pretty good, in my opinion.
6:27
Godzilla Prime You're a Godzilla Fan?
Orga: What? NO!
This and minus one are perfect examples of perfecting both spectrums of Godzilla. The serious, and the goofy
Perfectly balanced as all thing should be.
But GxK sucks lol
@@heiseigodzilla4569 ain't no way you just said that
@@heiseigodzilla4569nah
@@heiseigodzilla4569Buddy go back to preschool💀
The film was great, I loved almost everything about it. But upon a second watch, the human characters got a little more annoying because they just do not SHUT up! I like their personalities, and I need a Trapper spinoff NOW! But they just say literally everything that’s going on, when the environment should be doing the story for them. But it’s clear they did it for the kiddies so they understood. Still can’t wait to watch it 926 more times in the cinema!
How exactly would you react if they made Trapper pilot a jet jaguar for the next movie?
"like being upset that a cat can't bark."
Well, Someone finally said it.
Why can't my cat bark?
I spent years telling it "if you want tuna, bark" and yet she still just sits there, mocking me with her cold emotionless eyes and mewing.
Cat be like: bye bye🤫🧏♂
If you compare minus one and new empire it would be like if you are a parent and you compare your children
Im pretty sure most parents do have a favorite child 😅
How about the Heisei era. Or GMK or even the Kong Skull Island or Godzilla 2014. I know people don't like Judging the "fun" type Godzilla films but you don't need minus one critique this movie.
It’s like comparing the original with Godzilla vs Megalon
@AndrewDembouski funny thing is vs Megalon is still crap if you compare to like the early Showa or the later Heisei era.
Well put...
I hate seeing every Critic on UA-cam call this film "action movie trash" and compare it to Minus One, when in reality this movie doesn't want to be like Minus One it just wants to have fun. You did this film justice by reminding everyone of that.
When Kong met up with Godzilla in the desert and said, "We aren't just monsters, we're family; now lets go take down this new empire" I started crying
I was actually invested in what you were on about when you said that there was a certain scene, I had my volume up and every and then Titanosaurus scared me.
When Godzilla makes land fall in Spain, the shot of a fighter jet taking off an aircraft carrier is recycled from KOTM. Pointing out something i noticed when watching the film on the big screen. Its a pretty fun movie!
That was the thing that full on made me accept, jep this is a showa film made in 2024, everything is here and i love it
Godzilla X Kong the new Empire is basically the showa ERA for a new generation and I love that
OH MY GOD! It just hit me. WHY DID THEY NOT HAVE GODZILLA FLY AROUND USING HIS ATOMIC BREATH DURING THE ZERO GRAVITY SCENE? It was one ONE time they could have done it without being stupid.
Probably cuz they DO want it to be stupid.
"We'll use it precisely when it's silly"
- Wingard, probably
But imagine tho, if Gamera joins in to the Monsterverse. We could have a flying turtle next to Goji flying with his breath... and maybe Kong could ride either one of them
I mean. The zero gravity made the fight more of an under water style battle. Which was probably why Godzilla had the best maneuverability during it.
I hope we get solo movies for both Kong and Godzilla before a 3rd team up movie. I'd like for them to take inspiration for the Heisei era this time around with a more serious tone. Madison is in desperate need for a purpose, why not sacrifice her for Biollante.
A major problem with this movie is how little Godzilla is a part of this movie it literally "he's moving or getting power" till Kong shows up at the surface. Why couldn't we get a flashback of him facing Skar King to establish his reasoning for getting power instead of boring lore exposition. We didn't even get a good idea on why he needed this power up. Since we don't get to see him against Skar King.
Is what im saying, the Monsterverse should take the KOTM or Heisei tone: both have crazy and fun things but take themselves serious
And also im agree about Madison needeing for a purpoise, tbh she was a character with a wasted potential and judging by what we saw in KOTM she was the better option to bring Mothra back instead of Jia
@@taptiotrevizo9415 my thoery is that Godzilla wasn't meant to be in movie originally, but they added him in for rights purpose or something. Apparently the movie is supposed to be about Kong, or from what I search. So they shoehorn in Godzilla, give him a plot about getting stronger, so they can focus more on Kong while Godzilla is getting stronger in background
You got me, will freely admit it. The only April Fool's joke that actually got me.
Just because a Godzilla movie is more serious or better written doesn't make it a better movie. Writing is one aspect of a film, but there's also visuals, soundtrack, cinematography, plot, humor, sound design etc. People say Gojira is the best Godzilla movie, and yet which one was rewatched most by the average American? Megalon. If you enjoy a movie more than another, then that's the better film. Don't let any of these elitists try and make you feel bad because you prefer camp over serious melodrama. There are different forms of entertainment. Some people like horror, some people like comedy, some people like action. Godzilla has something for everyone and there is no "best Godzilla movie" it's all subjective.
Perfectly said
In a defense, Megalon was the one TV played the most. The original film was one of the last Showa movies I saw as a kid. Imagine my confusion seeing the kung-fu super dinosaur being a villain.
@@Great_Getterthis is how Americans audience react when they see the Return of Godzilla released on America (after just see him as hero for so long)
Japanese side in other hand, They just happy to see him as villain again
I did not expect the april fools video to be an orga reviews. Lets just say i got... fooled.
Your analysis of this as a big budget Showa Era film is 100% accurate. It really gave me everything I want out of a good Godzilla film
Godzilla At The End😂
I'd like that one scene where trapper lures winged creatures towards the Skar King's army.
Badass!
Give me 80's vibes.
Comparing Godzilla minus one and gxk is like comparing fnaf 2 and fnaf sb
This movie was dumb, crazy and fun and I love it. This movie was such an enjoyable time. It was never boring, in my opinion.
Thats not a good thing lol
ORRRRRRGAAAAS IN THE HOUSE! We LOVE YOU MIB!!!
Man! I already knew what was going to be in this because of April 1, Classic MIB! But much agreed, we should appreciate how much Godzilla is getting love now, instead of bickering how different two sides of the franchise is.
Now I wouldn’t say GxK is better than MO but holy fucking shit, I wanted every damn hit to feel like it HURT and by god did this film deliver, I just fucking love every single time these movies(both Toho and MV) characterize these monsters and make us want to see what crazy hijinks they get up to, I remember sitting in the theatre screaming internally “YEAH KONG FUCK THEM UP GO GET IM YOU BIG FAT HAIRY BASTARD!!!!”
I love how much of an asshole Skar King is, he's just smiling and laughing, I love him
I know people see him as cowardice but I think that's what makes him dangerous. He has backups, and it's not like he doesn't fight at all. I like how jumpy he is
Let's be honest Mib april fool pranks are the best pranks
I think we shouldn’t compare minus one and gxk. Their completely different genres of kaiju media
Great review, MIB!
This movie was Awesome!
Me and my family had a great time with it. My Mom loved it do to how much of a huge Kong fan she is. Lol.
Even the crowd at the theater we went to cheered during certain moments.
Dr skipper been quiet when this dropped ngl
I love how the Scatt King points at Kong laughing, thank you Winguard for giving us such meme material. Also I am glad that my theory lived up and saw Shimo as the empathetic abused dog who wasnt killed but freed and I was so happy to see her happy that she was now free, she was a victim not an enemy.
Hehe “Scatt King”
Kong also knocked Scar kings tooth out as revenge 😂😂😂
nice video mib i was laughing so hard at the gabara bit lol
FEARSOME LIZARD HAS EVOLVED
For me, the only downside is that we didn't get to see Shimo in action or at all for very long. Other that that the movie was pretty fun and exciting!
"This is better than Minus One!"
Bro's gonna fr start WW3.
Thats Orga alright....
Nice review! This movie rocks.
Side note: I really enjoy the Orga reviews series. It’s not only interesting to hear his (Your) thoughts, but it’s also educational in going into writing topics and characters stuff. And as a writer myself, I’ve been inspired by this and your MIB series to improve on my writing.
Well done MIB. I’m having a blast catching up on your content.
It grew exponentially!!!
I used to watch you guys nearly a decade ago with the old episodes, i randomly thought of you and words can’t describe how happy I am to see you’re still uploading. I remember mothra and rodan’s wedding like it was yesterday
5:55 I was WAITING for that line ALL DAY, cause it’s so damn hilarious 🤣
The skar king has so much emotions in this movie.
Orga, I’m making the next Movie with Godzilla,Jet,Rodan do you want to be the Main character? (Btw:Massacre is the villain)
Probably
*Can… can I be in your movie? (•
@@gigansattemptatdoingstuff4389 Honest Question, Straight To The Point, Thing Many Fans Would Ask But Actually Had The Guts To Say. Nice Job 👌
@@gigansattemptatdoingstuff4389 you will the the side character
Honesty, the Egypt rematch just felt unnecessary, considering that it still ended with Godzilla pinning Kong down. If Kong HAD managed to keep walloping Goji and successfully knocked him out, it would be a different story, because it would show that Kong (with the B.E.A.S.T. glove) is now strong enough to take Godzilla on in a hand-to-hand brawl, even when his opponent has evolved to a more powerful form. That, and I’d like to think that Kong would be smart enough to make 110% sure that Godzilla is out cold before trying to drag him into the Hollow Earth, ESPECIALLY a after GvK.
Godzilla was in full "fuck around, find out" mode
Just so you know I constantly share your videos because I truly think they're worth sharing
ORGA'S IS IN THE HOUSE
Godzilla being perfectly fine in zero gravity was so random, but at the same time, it sort of makes sense because he swims a lot
My thoughts exactly. Other than the joke we saw coming miles away here, your review is pitch perfect. I couldn’t be happier to be a Godzilla fan right now. 🤟
It’s like if the Showa movies had a big Hollywood budget.
I waited to watch this after I watched Godzilla X Kong: New Empire in theaters
Bro I watch ur videos since ur 2014, u raised me and thank u for beign a big part of my childhood
Best April fools video I’ve seen all day
Of course Godzilla Minus One is amazing, but Godzilla X Kong is almost close to being amazing in it's own right. If they just focused on Kong and the other monsters, and let the visuals and facial expressions tell the story.
But I do give credit that the humans in GXK did play their part, but they are dangerously close to being amazing. For example there's the scene where Bernie is filming the lost Iwi tribe in Hollow Earth, and Trapper asks what he's going to do with that footage. Then Trapper makes a speech on how most undeveloped tribes get destroyed by constant exposure to the outside world. Now this could lead to an excellent character moment for Bernie where he decides between his viewers or his moral compass, but it there is no pay off (Maybe there's going to be an extended cut of GXK where there is some form of pay off, but don't quote me on this) the camera isn't destroyed, Bernie doesn't say anything else, just nothing happens.
thank you! I agree 100%! one thing I really liked is how paralleled Kong was to humans. some of the stuff that happens to him and some of the stuff he does is definitely "if a kaiju had a similar mental growth structure to humans."
Loved all the titan action in the movie truly was like watching the old Godzilla films from showa era was a great film. Great review orga.
I love your videos, man keep up the great work
I'm happy we got both flavors in New Empire and Minus One.
this movie feels its testing the waters for having a 'No humans' MV movie
Great review! Although not one of my most favorites I still really enjoyed it and had a ton of fun with it. I'm sure with future viewings after I buy the bluray I'll like it even more though
3:30 knew he was going mention it
Oh man, I was WAITING for this review!
I loved the part where Godzilla, Mothra, Shimo, Kong, Suko, the others apes, and the humans had a huge dance party after killing Skar King
The director said in a recent interview that if he does a third movie, he wants to focus on Godzilla like he did with Kong in this movie!
Great review and analysis. I love it too
YOU HAD ME ON THIS ONE
This review puts out 87% of what I felt about the movie and also some other stuff I didn't take for consideration. Great review, MIB! Also, thank you for opening my eyes on why and how GxK is better than Minus One🙏
I agree four stars, but both are GREAT to me. Majority with Godzilla is awesome, *cough* Godzilla anime trilogy.
Aw, you got me, MIB. I was totally prepared to bust out, "I'd rather watch 'Moonraker' any day... but it is not a better movie than 'Dr. No'."
And... it seems I did just break it out. Hmm...
I watched this channel since I was 6
I was expecting this to come out sooner or later but hell yeah!
I feel like the make-out scenes between the lead kaijus were great parts of the movie. They really showed us the human sides of the Kaiju and how much they have grown since their introductions. Oh and I really enjoyed Knifehead’s part in the film. He really brought a lot of the story together and tied the entire Monsterverse lore together. Definitely movie of the year.
I want Anguirus. Full stop. Still my fav Kaiju.
Has anyone else realized that the villains are technically evil versions of Godzilla and Kong?
That dawned on me when I saw Scar King and Shimo on the later posters.
@@ConstantineFurman I didn’t piece it together until I noticed Shimo had ICE breath.
@@briancoulombe4517 Toho tried to do a similar thing with Astrogodzilla back in 1994. But that. of course, turned into the far more mundane Spacegodzilla.
What i love about the movie is that it feels like a love letter to fun half showa Godzilla gines like how minus one is for the original and Raids again
Trying to figure out how much of this review is serious- Well! I guess we will just have to wait for the full review to find that out ;)
Happy April fools everybody!
I absolutely love the movie!!
Its fun, and i love the story they did with Kong.
shit got me to shed a tear
Godzilla was well put in the movie for me, at least, and the villain
Scar king was badass! And shimo was unstoppable! Also, Kong got a happy ending. The movie was peak😆
Suko was one of the best characters, too!
Kinda bummed out Godzilla wasn’t around to see orca review this time. Probably busy with being a leader and all. Nice review like always!
Hey mib i need help finding the Godzilla shop in Buyee mobile I can’t find it can you help me
2:12 never in my life, have I laughed that hard 💀💀
*2:11 sorry
GXK is a movie that was the sonic frontiers for the monster verse btw this movie surpassed its own budget within a week
mib can you please help me, where did you buy your mask. or can someone else bless it
I knew that was coming at the end 😅
From Godzilla vs Kong Rematch, to a Showa-Style Final Battle against Skar King and Shimo, it truly is a fun Monster Movie to watch!
🦖♦️🤛🦍🐍🦧🦕❄️
Minus One is a better film, but New Empire is the movie I'll keep coming back to rewatch on regular rotation.
3:18
Nice reference
When the Scar King made his presence known, I couldn't help but think back to Watership Down's General Woundwort. In how they were ambitious warlords with unnatural appearances that emphasized how both ruled group of Great Apes'(Rabbits) through fear and cruelty. Only to find said rule start crumbling down when confronted by the newcomer Kong(Bigwig) upon the assistance of turncoat Suko(Hzenthlay). With the only difference being how Scar King being a stepping stone for Kong's journey, while Woundwort becomes a legend in death.
On a sidenote, the portrayal of Jia's abilities made me think of Newtypes from the UC Gundam timeline. Especially when we get introduced to her people in Hollow Earth. Honestly the people who are working on Live action hollywood adaptation should be taking notes from this film.
Good to hear that! And thats right! In my mind was: This is funny and awesome as hell!!!!
When I saw four stars, but you said it better than Minus One, I knew something was up. 😂
6:00 then, what did you think of Barbenheimer? July 21 2023
Where Cats barking on July 21 2023?
Absolutely loved this one. People left to a minimum and crazy all out monster fights. 5 stars all around
Bro has been on so long story, he deserves millions of subscribers
There is another Eva game called Shinji Ikari Rising project which is also a visual novel it’s pretty random too lol.
Exactly how I feel we’re living in the modern showa era for Godzilla, where we get serious films, and then wild monster beat em ups. It’s amazing.
I loved this movie, and it’s my favorite monsterverse movie
3:30 😂
Welcome Back, Orga.
Godzilla x Kong The New Empire is a Great Movie. I Enjoyed it.👍
Godzilla's powerup felt extremely pointless. The movie really needed an prologue where godzilla gets his shit wrecked in by Shimo. The framework of it is already there, just have the bit in rome with Scylla be it attacking him after being weakened. Shimo and the final fight are just a big let down..
