Godzilla Vs Kong (2021) - Reaction and Discussion

[Herbert]

I really enjoyed Godzilla vs Kong! I had previously seen two reviews beforehand. One gave it a 5 out of 10 the other gave the movie a 7 out of 10. From the trailer, I thought the movie looked pretty cool but they had killed off so many of the great characters in the first movies I had some major doubts as to how good this new movie would be.

However, Godzilla vs Kong did not disappoint! You could say that Godzilla and Kong go for three rounds in the movie. I won't talk about each individual battle just the first one. There was a scene on a transport ship that I thought was absolutely ridiculous! There isn't any transport ship in the world that should be able to hold Godzilla's weight let alone Kong and Godzilla at the same time. I just thought that whole fight scene was a bit silly. Two huge monsters bigger than most buildings with near unlimited strength just slugging it out, while maintaining their balance on this puny man made ship.😅

As for the whole let them fight idea, it was definitely carried over from the first movies and they certainly do let them fight! They have extended sequences of fight scenes. I'll be honest and say the last fight had me kinda sad at one point. Because these two really go at it. They don't hold anything back. There is a very touching scene that kinda pulls at your heart strings a little.

I would say if you're looking for the human drama element like from the first Godzilla remake back in 2014 this is definitely not that. There are a couple actors that get a few scenes to shine but this movie is all about the monsters. Its a great action movie, that adds a little more worldbuilding to the universe as they explore more of the hollow earth theory. I can't wait to see where they take the story from here!
