I'm going to exclude Gamera because those are my favorite but ya for a Godzilla movie, I thought they nailed the feeling and with more action too. I should recuse myself from here before I give away a spoiler haha.

This.

The best way I can relate this film is the way comic book movies use to be. Before the Marvel movies there was Batman and pretty much every other comic movie was liked by comic fans and no one else. Comic movies were very cheesy and you were either a nerd and liked it or a normie and didn't. Batman being really the only exception.

Marvel movies were different. They were still cheesy but acceptable cheesy. Normies could watch and enjoy without completely rolling their eyes.

GVK is that for monster movies. I was surprised all the way through how much the plot and human elements were upped. It was the difference between Tim Burton Batman (King of the Monsters) and Dark Knight Rises (GVK.) It is not as good an overall movie as DKR but the perfect theater popcorn movie that doesn't make you roll your eyes.

I would say it's Jurassic Park with bad science.

It doesn't erode the core of the Godzilla/Kong universe to appeal to a bigger audience. In fact, despite my pounding head and handful of narcotics I noticed a good 20 tips of the hat to the Japanese Godzilla films. TONS of things included G fans will recognize but don't take a way from the plot or film by being included.

I'd really like to do a non-spoiler review when my eyes aren't being jabbed with ice pics.

Short story: by FAR best Monster-verse movie yet. Even people who don't usually enjoy Godzilla/Kong will still have fun. It's Jurassic Park + Godzilla and Kong + sci-fi elements...

Just got done watching it via HBO Max. Some thoughts...

Best movie (writing, characters, fights, etc.) of the Monster-verse since Kong: Skull Island, which is still the best in my opinion
Better script than Godzilla: King of the Monsters but still lacking somewhat on the human side
There are some scenes that you can tell were shot for IMAX / 3D.
Of two human "groups" we follow the one following Godzilla / APEX was the weakest, Millie Bobby Brown wasn't bad but wasn't great either in this film, she was just sort of there
Regarding the fight scenes, glad we got away from the fights at night during a driving rainstorm but...
Spoiler!

The monsters...
Spoiler!

Some deep cut references throughout the movie, I mean really deep cut references, that were great adds if you're a hard core fan. Not just the old Showa series of Toho films but a couple of callbacks to scenes from a couple of the Heisei series of Toho films.

All in all I liked the movie, could have been better in some spots, almost 2 hours long but I felt like the movie was lacking any meat (plot wise) and was a lot of empty calories. But just like a good dessert, I enjoyed the empty calories.

I have no problem with the first spoiler. That was done to show how different the home field advantage was and pointed out the difference later on.

I also at first felt like you did on the 2nd spoiler but that points back to the characters - Kong is more closely like a human and Godzilla is a force of nature. They should act differently...

In a way this movie is like a movie about a dog fighting a wolf. Many people will just be pulling for the dog to win. People love dogs. Dogs act like people in some ways. Other people will say if the wolf doesn't slaughter the dog it's absolutely stupid.

Well, in this movie there are new things we learn about the dog in this fight...

Nope.

Of the humans there is team A and team B. All of the puny humans story lines follow one of these two teams. Team A is at all times accompanied by Kong. ALL of team A's story has Kong in it.

Really 3/4ths of this movie has some giant monster in it. Humans are really only the first 30 minutes and Kong's in a good part of that as well...

Yup I went in expecting to turn it off and hate Kong and was happy all throughout.
