mmmark Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 KotM is an almost an amazing Godzilla movie and has one of the largest gaps between critical and audience ratings in rotten tomatoes history. So there. Also they’re films about kaiju fighting one another. I can’t see it being much different unless they make it more like the first and have fewer kaiju fighting each other and more human drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm no fan of the recent Godzilla films, but I will say Kong: Skull Island is better than it has any right to be. I saw it at the cinema and kind of hated it, but I've randomly seen it a few times since and really enjoyed it, despite it being as dumb as a box of rocks.

Maryokutai Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Out of these newer movies I think I liked King of the Monsters the most, but I deeply hate the human drama in these movies. It's very bland, by-the-books, everyone's a stereotype and they always cut to their faces while the monsters are fighting each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I remember it being horrendously fucking stupid at the start, where they let that girl just run out of the room. It's a bad film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Remove the three principle lead actors and the film is immediately improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I saw KoTM on the plane in 2019 and enjoyed it quite a bit. Way more than any Godzilla/Kaiju related stuff before or since anyway, not a great film by any means but fun dumb nonsense that kept me entertained throughout its run time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I'm thinking the one of the receiving end of the beatdown is actually Mechagodzilla. Who did initially appear as a Fake Godzilla. It is still weird that Kong is on par with Godzilla in terms of size though. Although the work around in the 70's original was... Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 In skull island they mention he’s a baby in that. He technically has no business been in the same universe so it’s no good comparing his use in past kong only films. I suspect they’ll be teaming up too. I can’t wait it looks sick af. That 70s King Kong gets a lot of shit but it’s my favourite ? Jessica Lange helped ? I hope it is shown in cinemas but I won’t be holding my breath. But then do I watch it first on a tv? Seems so wrong for a film that’s meant to be in imax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kong's entire thing is that he dies at the end of every film he's in, so there's that... 6 minutes ago, mmmark said: That 70s King Kong gets a lot of shit but it’s my favourite ?

DisturbedSwan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Not a bad trailer, the song choice didn't quite seem to fit but the action side of things looks great. Doubt it'll be in cinemas so I'll be renting it like I did with WW84 most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmark Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 So I watched GvK yesterday and loved it. What I can’t say is if you didn’t like KOTM you’d suddenly love this. I honestly can’t see why the critical reception to KOTM was worse than GvK. If I had to score as a fan KOTM is a 9.5 and GvK a 9. Some really great throwback scenes and songs used. Can’t wait to see it at the cinema. Here’s James review which if you don’t know is a huge Godzilla fan. There’s no spoilers really but he kind of alludes to something too much so that it’s obvious what it is he isn’t saying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I watched it too. Everything that isn't the monsters fighting is really, really bad, as bad as anything in the rest of the recent films. When the monsters are fighting though it's great, really enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
