04.02.21 | I was expecting the fight to end up in a draw but Godzilla actually won, holy shit! Kong got the kill on MechaGoji (which is bullshit!!) so it's all good I guess.
MechaGoji looked freaking badass, i loved that part when he became self-aware and slowly turned his head to attack the evil scientist guy. And that metallic roar was also a nice touch
Goji got fucked pretty hard in the end.. even with all that hollow earth nonsense going on, seeing my boy getting slammed like that was the hardest thing to watch. At the end Goji looks at Kong like "pfft.. asshole" and just wanders off, brilliant |

04.02.21 | My kids want to see it |
Shuyin
04.02.21 | Wish I saw this as a kid, would've loved it. There's a lil bit of gore when Kong fights some flying monster tho, just so you know when its coming |

04.03.21 | Movie sucked tbh. Graphics aren't even that good. I know these movies aren't about the humans but holy shit it was bad. Mouth-breather lady and too-much-whiskey before shooting the scene "hero" were disgraceful. |
twlight
04.03.21 | Btw, just watched godzilla (2014) which was decent. Some really good shots in that move, Garreth Edwards knows how to frame an atmospheric shot... Now watching "king of monsters" |

04.03.21 | That parachute shot is so cool that movie |

04.03.21 | Great shit. I predicted everything that would happen tho |

OG Godzilla or Shin Godzilla, everything else is mostly campy fun |

Shuyin
04.03.21 | Also known as Godzilla vs everyone, sad part about it is the fact that the movie is filled with references to older Godzilla stuff and that's why I never recommend it at first |
CaliggyJack
04.03.21 | I mean yeah but it has space battles and crazy ass martial arts fights. It's always my first recommendation to newcomers and I have a 100% retention rate. |

04.03.21 | It is probably the most hysterical of the gojira films tho |

Shuyin
04.03.21 | I honestly didn't like KotM.. at all |
Shuyin
04.03.21 | Yea FW also has some of the coolest and craziest monster battles in the entire franchise. I never get tired of watching Goji playing football lmao, and the fights with Gigan were also fucking awesome |
Sevengill
04.03.21 | I was lukewarm on KotM and loved this.
Caliggy's got it. Biollante and Destoroyah are def the best serious movies, between the multiple killer night battles and watchable human plots. |
CaliggyJack
04.03.21 | Destoroyah is my fav Toho monster. More than Gojira |
Shuyin
04.03.21 | madness!
Now really, I hope Toho brings Destoroyah back for a rematch |
Tundra
04.03.21 | rewatched it today and is about on par with KotM for me now, both about 4/5 |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | holy shit this movie sucked ass. was not expecting it to be so lame and devoid of logic. some decent fights and special effects, but king of monsters was way better |
Tundra
04.04.21 | I initially thought that but what did you think was illogical about the movie? |
Sevengill
04.04.21 | "devoid of logic."
are you uh, familiar with kaiju films? |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | that whole dimension or w/e they went to that's kong's home. that was fucking stupid and made zero sense. the pacing was ass too, the characters weren't believable (i mean it's par for the course with a godzilla movie but they were especially bad in this one). just found it very hard to enjoy |
JeetJeet
04.04.21 | Yea these movies just get more illogical with every release so you gotta expect this shit to be dumb. The only kaiju movies that weren't extremely dumb were the 2014 Godzilla and Shin Godzilla. |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | i mean sure we can say, "it's a kaiju movie, did you expect good writing" or whatever to excuse how shoddily made these things are. normally i'd prob say the same and just hold out for some baller fights, but even the fights in this were kind of mediocre compared to other movies. |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | i still haven't seen shin godzilla, but yeah the 2014 one was pretty enjoyable without an insanely asinine plot. godzilla vs kong felt like i was watching a rly badly written anime lol |
Sevengill
04.04.21 | "even the fights in this were kind of mediocre compared to other movies"

No.
"i love those guys, they have great analyses"
No. |
Shuyin
04.04.21 | If you're watching a movie of a 400ft tall monster who breathes fire and expect logic and common sense then.. you're kinda doing it wrong. Some of the Showa era movies were absolutely BONKERS in comparison to this |
TheSonomaDude
04.04.21 | i wanted monke to win |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | red letter media in particular. dude is always being satirical and shit but usually the criticisms are pretty valid (esp his coverage of the disney star wars movies) |
CaliggyJack
04.04.21 | "but usually the criticisms are pretty valid"
no |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | i expect logic and consistency within the universe tho. like already the premise of something that big is flat-out bs because it would collapse under its own weight due to gravity. i can obviously look past the logic of things like that... but entering into the center of the world or w/e where kong's home supposedly is, in some weird mirror-dimension thing. that's just so fucking stupid. godzilla movies can't always be saved by "if you're looking for logic or common sense" as an argument. |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | caliggy: are you by chance a fan of the new star wars movies? |
CaliggyJack
04.04.21 | I'm not a fan of Last Jedi, but I don't have to be to know that RLM has some of the dumbest takes about movies and their fans parrot those shit talking points like gospel to the point you can't have a productive discussion on any movies whatsoever. |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | are you sure about that? are you sure it isn't a case of you just disagreeing with their opinions? i've only seen about 10 of their videos (but they're fucking lonnnnng) and they seemed excellent to me. pretty standard for critics to shit on things they hate |
CaliggyJack
04.04.21 | "HAHA LOL DUDE STAR WARS EPISODE 1 IS SO BAD CHECK OUT THIS RLM VIDEO DUDE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND."
"HAHA DUDE BATMAN V SUPERMAN SUCKS LOL CHECK OUT THIS RLM VIDEO YOU'LL GET IT."
Of course I disagree with their opinions a lot, but I'm sick to shit of their fanbase and their obnoxiousness actually makes me loathe RLM far more. |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | yeah, i suppose a rabid fanbase can make you dislike someone even more especially if you disliked them to begin with. i try to separate those things though, because there's a lot of stuff i love that have god awful fanbases |
neekafat
04.04.21 | Movie was great yeah |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | i just wish they'd make a movie that told interesting human stories, or did away with them altogether. they try to service the plot and move things forward but they're always so boring, and considering they're the worst part of godzilla movies, it really sucks that they comprise like 80% of the experience |
Shuyin
04.04.21 | Never got the appeal of RLM, I normally watch Jeremy Jahns or that guy with the lava lamp |

SitarHero
04.04.21 | Lol, wait. So we're okay with the idea of massive kaiju duking it out, but the whole hollow earth business was a step too far? |
SitarHero
04.04.21 | I'm curious though. Specifically what about the concept of the hollow earth did you think was stupid, Gyro? |
Gyromania
04.04.21 | The most vibrant ecosystem on the planet existing right next to the earth's core, where the temperature is OVER 9000!!!!!!! degrees fahrenheit, and apparently gets sunlight and has day/night cycles from what I gather despite being subterranean... Yeah that's dumb imo. The way they got to it was very confusing too
I think they mentioned hollow earth in king of monsters, maybe they even went to it i can't remember atm |
Deathconscious
04.04.21 | Idk if i could get into the sequels based on what ive heard about them, but all this zilla vs kong talk reminded me that i kinda wanted to see the 2014 one when that came out. |
Shuyin
04.04.21 | 2014 Godzilla is worth seeing, the monster scenes hit harder because of the buildups. Get some good stereo and pump up the volume for that Godzilla roar |
JeetJeet
04.04.21 | 2014 Godzilla is awesome. Its also a rare case of the human subplots working cus the humans aren't spouting cheesy dialogues, and the main character is caught up in the action so we get to see these giant ass monsters from his perspective as they fuck shit up. |
Tundra
04.04.21 | This movie was the first time I heard of the Hollow Earth stuff, it's something I just rolled with when watching the movie, but it's a monster movie so suspending disbelief is a must when watching something like this. 2014 Godzilla is eh, a decent first movie I guess but their was a lot of parts that dragged, and the villain kaiju in that movie where so drab and boring. |
Trebor.
04.04.21 | I don't know what y'all smoking, the human characters in 2014 were so boring they ruined the movie for me |
TheAntichrist
04.05.21 | way better than kotm because it's actually fun and embraces how stupid it is |
CaliggyJack
04.05.21 | I 100% believe the Earth is hollow. |

LMAO, the idea of a hollow earth has been a staple of science fiction/fantasy for over 150 years and is no less ludicrous than the idea of giant monke. |
Gyromania
04.05.21 | Well, it's fucking dumb, probably as dumb as flat earth theories. Never seen it in a movie before and I don't care to again lol |
CaliggyJack
04.05.21 | The deepest we have ever dug into the Earth is 40,230ft which is still barely a blip in the Earth's crust. You could easily have a mini sun within the center of a hollow earth maintained through gravitational equilibrium. |
Gyromania
04.05.21 | LMFAO |
CaliggyJack
04.05.21 | Laugh all you want. Neither regular crust/core theory nor Hollow Earth theory can be proven at this current stage. So either or is valid. |
Gyromania
04.05.21 | We've drilled a measly 12km or so into the earth and the temperature was something stupid like 300 degrees f. The reason we can't go further is because the heat would destroy the drill. I'm just reading up on this conspiracy theory now and I honestly can't believe this is real... This might be dumber than chemtrails and flat earthers... You must be trolling me if you say you believe this shit lol |

I never said it wasn't hot there. I just said it might be hollow. I don't believe in that Jules Verne stuff about a new land underneath the earth. I just believe our earth is hollow and our "core" is actually a mini sun suspended in the center of our earth through gravity. Now fuck off asswipe. You can debate without being a general shitheel. |

SitarHero
04.05.21 | "Well, it's fucking dumb, probably as dumb as flat earth theories."
You realise you were watching a science FICTION movie and not a documentary, right? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the stuff you're perfectly fine with suspending your disbelief for while deriding other similar stuff as unbelievable.
Like, do you watch Marvel movies and think, "Thor is a totally believable as an Asgardian alien/demi-god, but the Hulk is bullshit because GAMMA RAYS DON'T TURN YOU GREEN!" |
Gyromania
04.05.21 | No I'll suspend disbelief for some shit but flat earth, chemtrails, etc., is just too stupid to get on board with. Is there nothing in fiction that you find dumb? Everything is justified just because the medium isn't rooted in actual science? |
SitarHero
04.05.21 | Lol, I find plenty of stuff dumb. But I don't go into a science fiction/fantasy movie looking to critique the totally and obviously made-up science. |
Deathconscious
04.05.21 | I feel like giant monsters beating the shit out of each other is around the same amount of ridiculous as a hollow earth, so i dont get it either. |
Deathconscious
04.05.21 | Actually its even more ridiculous, imagine if someone believed that giant monsters were running around destroying cities. |
Ecnalzen
04.05.21 | Still working my way up to GvK (it was on in the background while I was at a family gathering today so I've seen a bit of it) but I enjoyed 2014 Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island. Just got King of the Monsters then time for a proper viewing of the main event
I liked Skull Island more than Godzilla off of one viewing of each |
Gyromania
04.05.21 | I think for me it's just an effect of the compounding stupidity in these films, sort of like how Dragonball is always pushing things to new idiotic heights. I suspend disbelief that people can shoot plasma out of their hands and blow up planets but then you have people talking and breathing in space, and commentary like "if they keep fighting for even 1 more minute the entire universe will be destroyed" that pushes it too far over the edge of ridiculous. |
