  • Godzilla x Kong The New Empire is a 2024 monster movie directed by Adam Wingard. It has Gojira and the King of Skull Island take on the Scar King and Shimo in Hollow Earth in an insanely wild science fiction story that critics hate but people love. This is the Monsterverse done right and while Minus One was way better this campy film is super entertaining and I explain why in my review.

If they used the humans to hype up each monster and talk mad crap about the other that would be CRAZY. They only did VERY little of that in GvK.

    Good news folks according to the director, Adam Wingard himself next film in MonsterVerse will centered around Godzilla if Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) performs well commercially. Please support MonsterVerse. MonsterVerse literally saved Godzilla franchise from wipe out of existence back in 2014 through Godzilla (2014) which revive the interest regarding Godzilla among audiences and fans. MonsterVerse is the sole reason why Godzilla France is still continuing and Toho produced films like Shin Godzilla (2016) and Godzilla Minus One (2023) which won Oscar and make the franchise a Oscar winning franchise. So keep loving and supporting Godzilla franchise and MonsterVerse.

      Dude I agree. Godzilla and King Kong have enough history to be able to tell a variety of different types of stories with different themes and emotions. Did you know the director of Minus One saw a pre-screen of this movie and loved it? He stated that America is making great Godzilla films at the moment and recognized they are a throwback to the silly Godzilla movies that Japan is famous for. Love Minus One (and Shin Godzilla) and appreciate that Japan is taking Godzilla in a cool new direction but there is room for popcorn flicks like this too. Cheers!

    Movies like this are why you go to the theater. It's been so long since I've had this much fun at the theater. And I could tell the rest of the audience was feeling it, too. I saw Frozen Empire the week before, and I hate to compare the two, but you could just feel the difference in not just the filmmaking but also the audience's reaction to it. There were a lot of empty seats for Frozen Empire; one guy was sleeping through the movie (snoring pretty loud, too), and when the movie was over, the walkout was pretty quiet. Then you got Godzilla x Kong. The seats were packed with a wide mix of audience (old, young, families, couples, children). Everyone was laughing and having a good time. I could hear children cheering Kong on and people excited to see Godzilla do his thing, and when the movie was over, everyone left with smiles, talking about which part was their favorite and who their favorite monsters were. The couple beside me had some pretty funny commentary, especially during some funny Kong scenes.

Interesting that she has connections with both Kong and Mothra, now. Maybe she'll reach out to Godzilla and help mellow him out a little bit in the next movie. The poor guy obviously has issues right now.

Two is not a lot, of course, but it is certainly working.

    Man, the visual storytelling told by just the Titan's body language- *chef's kiss*
    The only thing I did NOT like was their constant use of that fish-eye blur lense (don't know what it's officially called), even for calm moment that weren't supposed to be disorienting- they made disorienting

    Lmao, there was a girl in my theater sitting a few seats to the right of me. And it was so hilarious because there was that scene where Godzilla was fighting tiamat and it starts to look a bit like he might lose but then you hear him charging up and then everything goes quiet and it cuts to the above water view of the ocean. And right as the sound cut out, she goes "Uh oh!"
    LMAOOOOOOOO, most perfectly timed "Uh oh" I ever heard. Because right after that Godzilla's beam just starts shooting out of the ocean.
    She didnt even say it super loud either, but because the soundtrack itself got so quiet, I think almost everyone in the auditorium heard her. Lmao, it was the perfect encapsulation of that moment.
    "It was at that moment Tiamat knew... she fucked up."
    I'm still laughing about it hours later. Same with that moment Kong picked up Suko and started swinging him around like like a ragdoll. I almost shit myself laughing. I dont remember the last time I saw a movie that was this genuinely fun.

    This is what happened when you don't try studio's don't try to force woke messages and identify politics into movies and just give the audience simple entertaining movies. No need to overthink, no convoluted plot twist just giant monsters fighting with a complete disregard for property damage.

The fights were incredible and felt longer than they actually were (in the good way, like they didn't feel rushed), the new -kaiju- Titans had cool designs (RIP Tiamat, poor thing), they were able to put up some serious stakes without being too serious for fun, and we GOT MOTHRA BACK! I don't understand why the critics are being so hard on this one.

    My wife and I got a chance to watch it today. I'm an old guy that have been watching Godzilla since the early 70s, so I laugh when critics talk about humans. Really! LOL. I watch Godzilla movies a few times a week. We absolutely loved this movie. The human story we have no issues with it at all. Again from the 70s. It did seem a little rushed especially when u get to the glove part. I say no more. In the age of 3 hour movies I would not have had any issues with that here because it would not have to be so rushed. This was more of a Kong story with Godzilla sprinkled all over until then end. The fights were epic. You only get a short time to take a breath. The theater roared in applause when it was over. Going to see it again.

  • @nope5657
    @nope5657 Před 2 měsíci +1

    GxK is one of the most openly, earnestly exuberant and loving blockbuster spectacles in a long time. It isn't embarrassed to be what it is like so many other blockbusters today. No meta, ironic, detached, "stop and laugh" moments here. Just a heartfelt atomic bomb of colorful and vibrant monster mayhem.
    It's made with a palpable love and affection for all things giant monsters and then some. This isn't just an old school kaiju film with a Hollywood sheen added to it. It's a plethora of influences all melded together to make one hell of a fun time.
    This is old school tokusatu, it's anime, its Saturday morning cartoons, it's American action cinema of the 80s, its old school pulp adventure storytelling, etc. And its all rather seamless.
    I do have to call out your "this film is a mess" statement though. It's a far more narratively focused and streamlined film than GvK was.
    They keep the pacing of the plot lean and in constantly forward momentum. The duel journeys in the Hollow Earth between Kong and the Monarch team is really well executed. It's a tandem journey of discovery for both Kong and the humans. You mention Kong's power glove "coming out of nowhere" and, yeah, it kinda does. But it a) makes sense within this films universe and b) is set up to a degree with the Kong Dental Procedure we see early in the film.
    There are definitely some narrative shortcuts made in the film, but those aren't necessarily indicative of a "mess." To me, a "mess" of a film is a film that can't reconcile tone, story, execution, and its various narrative elements into a cohesive experience. GxK is remarkably cohesive in tone, story, and execution.
    And I don't think enough credit is being given to Adam Wingard for making what is often a dialogue-free, ultra-weird, monster movie. People can make fun about how "stupid" the movie is all they want. But any film that has this strong a creative grasp of its non-verbal protagonist is far, far from stupid.
    All of the creatures here are so full of life and personality, even the ones with minor amounts of screentime. You never once don't understand their motivations or emotions.
    The never-ending discourse about humans in these films is exhausting. But GxK does a smart thing by streamlining the humans to one small, core group. And they are all enjoyable. Yes, they're 90% exposition machines, but not one performance feels phoned in. They're an agreeable bunch to follow around. And the film even improves over GvK with the Bernie character, who was kinda unfunny and annoying in that film, but is far more likeable and fun in GxK.
    I haven't had such an unconscious, joyous smile on my face in a blockbuster movie like this for some time.
    I've seen it twice so far, and on peer entertainment value alone coupled with how confident it is making the monsters the real stars and characters, plus some GORGEOUS visuals - I can declare I believe this to be one of the best Godzilla AND Kong films ever made. It's wild to get two of some of the best Godzilla movies within a year of each other - and with opposite tones and goals.
    We are truly feasting as Godzilla and kaiju fans.

    I had a blast watching this. All the kaiju action anyone could reasonably ask for, and very creative.
    I did have a problem with the sound design. In the scene where Kong roars and Godzilla roars in answer, the score drowned out both to a ridiculous degree. Let their roars shake the theater, not the horns and strings.
    And I kind of wish there'd been a post-credit sequence of Dr. Andrews appearing on Bernie's podcast. Yes, unnecessary. But it would have been nice.

    I watched the movie twice. The fights were great, but in terms of the story, they went too far, making it complicated.

  • @wyattrippy5939
    @wyattrippy5939 Před 2 měsíci +2

    SPOILERS...
    This was the dumbest and most fun Godzilla movie ever. It was so insanely dumb and stupid and I think that helped it a lot. Adam Wingard knew exactly what kind of movie he was making and I think this is exactly the kind of Godzilla we need from Western film makers while Toho goes back to their roots. I do miss the tone and atmosphere of the 2014 movie, but I loved the environmental storytelling with this movie. I noticed a lot of Easter eggs like the serpent attack on Kong being a shot for shot remake of his fight with the squid in skull island. Hearing Godzillas og roar for a couple of scenes was very cool as well and his new millennium inspired design is one of the best things in the movie. The lore with the hollow earth was convoluted, messy, and kinda jumbled with where we started but it also threw so much at the wall that I think any new film maker can make any genre of movie or show in the monsterverse. They've opened the door to a whole new era of the monsterverse.

Also, I hope we get some kind of explanation for the lore change.

    Just watched it today and can I say…. I absolutely ❤it! Yes , it’s a bit silly and over the top compared to previous entries but as an enjoyable monster movie it gets top marks from me! I actually went in with lower expectations but came out of the cinema VERY pleasantly surprised, with a big grin across my face! It was funny, exciting and fulfilled everything that I wanted in the movie. It’s definitely a Kong-centric film and does an amazing job of pushing along his story and journey in these movies but when Godzilla does make his appearances he certainly shines. His new evolution makes him almost unstoppable however and you never feel that he’s in any real danger, even Shimu doesn’t seem capable of coping with Godzillas new form! Despite that, if anyone wasn’t sure about seeing this movie , I highly recommend you get along to the big screen and enjoy the ride of your life! ❤

I love 2014, I'm just a massive Godzilla Fanboy. I also have to admit that Kong was the better-structured movie. King is my favourite of the 4 because of what is at stake. But if I had to burn a couple of hours, GvK would be my pick, for pacing. I'm not really a fan of the hollow earth stuff and civilisations of monsters, I like them being ancient and intelligent but still animals. The Argo in King I didn't mind but when you get antigravity hovercraft, it breaks reality for me. It might seem ironic in a world of Kaiju crawling out from every stone but I can get on board with that.
