Just finished it. Fucking loved it. Easily the best giant monster combat of any movie I’ve seen. Last 30-45 minutes slam and go hard. 

God yes it was amazing

Makes you wonder why they cheaped out and didn't use the real Godzilla and Kong.

Those dudes can't act for shit.

[MissingInAction 25174]

Absolutely fantastic! This is going into my action movie rotation along with predator, matrix, Rambo, etc. 

Loved every second.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Movie was dope ! 

[ChickenSandwich 9849]

Kong going all Riggs lethal weapon was awesome. 

[CooterBrown 18022]

I dozed off in the middle. Don't think I missed much.  From what I saw, Skull Island is still the best movie by far but this was definitely number two.

I guess it works in their favor that they didn't give a shit about anything other than monster fights.

My 8th grader did comment that the mom scientist was racist for making her daughter wear her island tribal clothes well after adoption. Lulz.

Didn't they set up Charles Dance to be the big baddie at the end of the Godzilla movie? He was nowhere to be found.

Couldn't they give Demian Bichir a more believable last name than Simmons?  Why not rename the character once you select a Mexican actor?  I guess he could've been from Belize where there are plenty of Belizeans with English last names.

Paused it at their first confrontation...  not too impressed so far.  I mean, can't we have some good ol' fashioned monster movie without fucking kids in it, GDit?!  The snooty chick is hot though.  Will finish it later today.  

[CooterBrown 18022]

I'm sick of all these movies being in the dark, usually in the rain. I know it's makes the CGI cheaper to do since you can minimize detail but visually it sucks.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19142]

I had this on in the background while working.  I though the city fight scene was really well done and stunning to watch visually.  I will have to go back and watch again.

Same reason I turn the lights off when I bang your mom.

[Underdog 28767]

Garbage imo.  The best acting was from Kong/Godzilla and they're CGI.  It's worth a watch if you're fan, otherwise don't bother. 

[Davis Lane 5591]

I thought it was great.

For sure much better than I was expecting.

Could have used more Eiza Gonzalez though.

[Underdog 28767]

Not sure what was up with the RDj/Pacino/Montalban villain.   700 million people in HK, it's in ruins and dad/daughter find each other no problem...  garbage.  

[RPM 26342]

Coworker went to see it last night and couldn't stop raving about it this morning.

[hookemATL 11846]

Ok this film was totally unrealistic.

I know, right?

I expect my movies about giant fighting monsters who came from the hollow center of the Earth to be much more realistic.

They really tried to hide Skarsgaards cum gutters with those terrible wardrobe choices. LIKE I DONT KNOW WHATS UP UNDER THERE. 

[Js1 85537]

Oh I would have liked that movie even more then.

Yes, please.  

[juan pantages 124]

I get the feeling that kong watched a lot of wrestlemania to prepare for this role.

[South Austin 52572]

It was stupid fun. 

[Herpa Derpa 6129]

Pure unadulterated trash that brought me pure unadulterated joy. Endlessly rewatchable as both an action and comedy flick.

[mr. sunshine 2832]

I liked it but for some reason get hung up on the whole ‘the center of the earth is hollow and that’s where monsters come from’ thing.  It’s like making time travel a plot element in every Star Trek movie when flying around in a spaceship blowing shit up is cool enough already

[Underdog 28767]

I half assed expected a Kong/Zilla high five at the end.  

[hpslugga 4062]

Only disappointment was the mutual decision to not finish the fight by the monsters after they took down MechaStreisand. The 1962 film actually had a winner. Was hoping for the same outcome here.

[Underdog 28767]

Kong was done if not for the...  wait for it...  defibrillator.

Spoiler

Pretty clear Godzilla was the victor here

 

[demos 3004]

My only complaint is that this didn’t start blasting at the appropriate time:

If you’ve already seen the movie, you know when.

[Underdog 28767]

I mean that opening, with the song, thought I was going to watch a Shrek parody at first.  

[Stunns38 3538]

The fights reminded me of that Dave Chapelle Blackzilla skit.

[Buzzrock 14936]

Meh. Boring. Big Transformer vibes.

[Jerry Callo 8720]

Best movie I've seen all month.  I hope they put a grate or something over the hole to the middle of the earth, though.  Seems dangerous.

[Underdog 28767]

ISWYDT

[williemackgarza 1826]

It was aite.
My 7 yo didnt really like it. My 3 yo loved it.

[Axle Hongsnort 208]

Saw it at the theater...easily the loudest move i’ve ever seen. I dug it.

[RGBIII 22840]

It was solid. I basically called the entire plot on the podcast but that’s what I wanted it to be. Less humans more monsters

[Scraps 13570]

Lol...i thought it was ok. Entertaining enough.

I did like the part right before they found each other where she used a landline in hong kong to call her dad...wtf lmao

[SubliminalHorn 6811]

Husband and I liked it. It was entertaining. Acting was awful, but all I cared about were the mega fight scenes. 

[Richard Kimball 1496]

[FunkSoulBrother 931]

It was pretty good. I was entertained.

That said, Freddy vs Jason is still my favorite versus movie.

[CooterBrown 18022]

 

[PittsburghTiger 6195]

My nephew and I went to see it last week. We both figure they are out of ideas. The HyperLoop to Hong Kong was pretty bad.

[BabaYaga 15308]

Fun.  Watched it last night on HBO MAX.  Good Sunday wind down movie with zero expectations.

It was basically Transformers with Megatron's brain taking over his new body.  

[GreenspointTexas 9665]

Worst of the 3, imo

[BabaYaga 15308]

Basic summary

[d2o 1602]

Godzilla burning a hole from Hong Kong to the center of the Earth seems like a very bad thing.

[ChickenSandwich 9849]

Every time they show Godzilla in the movie he looks like an angry fat man in cargo Jorts
