  • This movie has been categorized by many as “dumb fun,” which in my opinion meant the creative team found a way around putting in any effort.
    Movies like Guardians of the Galaxy used to be classified as “dumb fun” but it was also a good movie. It’s time to stop using it as a crutch and go back to making good movies. Please Hollywood, go back to the before times…

    It seems most of us are actually in agreement:
    Monster stuff: Good✅
    Human Stuff: Bad❌
    For some reason a lot you guys think I hate this movie when that’s not the case. I state very clearly that it has some pretty enjoyable moments. I just feel they could’ve put more effort into making it special. Also keep in mind I’m not a traditional “Godzilla movie fan,” I’m a regular movie fan. And overall, I’m just not a fan of lazy storytelling. That’s my only real issue with the movie.
    Thanks again to each and every one of you for watching!

    if Godzilla minus one came out later than this movie you wouldn't have made this video. I hate how everyone measures every monsterverse movie up to minus one. you can't really put it up against the MV. minus 1 was a one-off movie made for a different audience, while the MV is a 10 year old cinematic universe already. it needs to have a different style to attract people for a long time and to consistently have profits to justify a sequel.
    minus one took a huge gamble. and it paid off. luckily. they did not know if it would succeed or not. and they did not even put that much money on the line. and they were a japanese exclusive release at first but because it was so successful they released it to the west and it blew up. minus one is the "palworld" of movies
    but when your bugets are 10x that amount you want to make a profit. you want to justify the cost for the returns

    When people say 'dumb fun 'that means people cant get their head around or except stuff in movies that doesn't make sense to them because they think everything needs to be grounded in reality or be like The Shawshank Redemption. I had blast with GxK , off to see it again later.

  • @alolanpoppzillio1660
    @alolanpoppzillio1660 2 місяці тому +7

    Here's the thing about this movie
    If we compare this movie to lets say Minus One, both movies have entirely different approaches. Minus One prioritizes having an entertaining human story that revolves around Godzilla.
    Meanwhile GxKprioritizes on making the monsters as characters (In this case Kong) and the world building involving them, it's why in this film Kong is the main character, as we follow him in his journey exploring more of the hollow earth for a lot of the film, it's like watching Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal as a movie. While the human cast doesn't get a lot of effort since they support the story of the monsters, or support the main character. They aren't the best I'll say, at least they're better than the last film.
    I'd say Kong has been done well as the protagonist, he's pretty good. It's sad that there's people who don't see him as such and only critique the human cast, leaving him out when he's the most important character.
    This is why people don't like seeing this movie being compared to Minus One, since these are very different films, especially when it comes to comparing the main characters Kong and Kōichi.
    This movie isn't a bad movie, obviously nowhere near Madame Web. Personally I'd give it around an 7 or 8, one of the more entertaining entries so far. I'd like to see a bit more effort in the human characters next time, but nowhere near to 2014 where it barely felt like a Godzilla film. That movie is the reason why audiences have been asking for more monster involvement.

    From my perspective of things. It wasn't the best thing I've seen. It definitely was a stepdown from GvK, but I did personally enjoy the action sequences. While yes, I do wish that they did keep in scale for these monsters, at the same time I feel like it would've ruined the fast paced battles that they were trying to go for. This film was trying to be a modern day take on a Showa film, which I respect it for.

    Toho creates the serious movies while Legendary creates the nonsensical movies. The MonsterVerse is really leaning towards the Showa era which I think is fine but I do see why people would not like it.

    The sense of scale when they're in the surface earth is there, we can see how big they are to large or tiny structures. In the Hollow earth there isn't much to scale them with, but isn't that because the hollow earth was meant to scale with the monsters since that's their world, while the surface earth is too small for them?

    You just got your "better" movie a few months ago, this one is for me. There are no rules that every movie MUST follow, only traditional standards that CAN be followed. I'd rather a movie like this know what it is and focus on that instead of trying to force in elements as an afterthought just because people assume it's a requirement. There are people like me who don't want to see characters crying about their traumas or achieving their dreams for the millionth time. It's not that the filmmakers didn't try, they just stuck to only what mattered for this particular movie.
    A movie like this is a thrill ride on a screen, a rollercoaster doesn't need a plot, story, character development, etc. This movie did what it set out to do and did it pretty well. I don't like bad movies, just a different type than you do. I can hate Minus One because it's not my type of movie while also recognizing that it's technically a good movie for a different crowd. You have your burger your way and I'll have it mine, just some food for thought.

    The monsterverse is a sequel to feel related with.
    If you don't connect with it in a way it surpases the fact it's CGI or "fake" battles, then you would feel the movie as something unreal... And is because you can't assume the movie as something literal, otherwise it would feel empty as your're saying. Kaijus, not only in monsterverse but in any other film, represent something that can be related to the real Life!
    If you don't understand the sequel and what Godzilla and Kong symbolize, then you cannot comprehend GxK.
    It's absurd to ccompare G Minus One with GxK because they transnmit their messages in a COMPLETELY different way, influenced by the culture (one is Japanese, the other ir American).
    Thinking "we deserve better", is having an extremely closed and superficial view of the film, since the visuals or physics weren't the main purpose/objective (even though they were absolutely good), but the connection with the previous events in G-2014, Kong, G-2019, GvK, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and all the graphic novels with GxK is what really matters and gives this last production an edge over your superficial review.
    Empty plot? Nah, just people that ignore the lore AND can't emotionally connect with it.

This film was a blast I thought and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than Minus One if everyone is comparing the two.

    I’ve been saying this on multiple channels, but I really need to watch it again to form a second opinion because man…I feel like even some of the fight scenes feel hollow. Idk why!! I’m all for Godzilla fighting other monsters with cheesy elements but this feels like something marvel would put out in these past few years. Where you have human characters fill with too much comedic dialogue and fight scenes that while may feel entertaining at first but then as you watch them more the impact they have gets lost overtime. That’s how I feel about this movie currently. Not to say it’s terrible, it’s just okay. If anything if my current view of this movie is the same it will only be behind GVK, which is number 2 on my list of favorite monsterverse movies.

Its an icon Speilberg, Scorcesi, & others have called top notch cinema for decades. Thats one serious movie to kick things off in 1954, & the rest being GxK type spectacle, sans Shin Godzilla & Godzilla Minus One in 2016 & 2023.

    Who looks for a reason to care about the humans in a godzilla movie? Let the titans step on them so we have less of them in the movie!🤣🤣 The characters in GxK weren't even that bad. Although the dialogue could have been better, and it had okay just okay comedy, We are here for the kaiju battles and incredible visuals of hollow earth. We want to see titan interactions with eachother. The human story should be minimal and yes it could have been better but it wasn't bad in this one. We don't need every movie to be emotional, or make us go into deep analysis and think intensely about what the movie is trying to teach us. This was an epic , fun ride with a solid story with a few problems but overall it was very entertaining.
