My score: 7/10
I saw it Thursday and I'll be honest, I kind of liked this one. Definitely a lot of fun watching this on the bigger screen at the theater that eats up my entire peripheral vision. These MonsterVerse movies really appeal to my inner child who gets excited seeing big monster fight
Plus they didn't skimp on the CGI, so you actually get to see King Kong and Godzilla a good amount.
Interesting. I'm very partial to monster films, very much like the first two of the US Godzilla films, but couldn't get into the Godzilla v Kong film ... it just felt too rushed or something. So while I'm kinda in the mood for popcorn monster stuff I'm feafull that this would just feel empty to me.
How would you compare it to Godzilla v Kong? Did they kinda calm down a bit and just lean into being a film about monsters more?
I agree that the first one was rushed. I think the introduction of Mechagodzilla as the actual villain so late in the movie detracted from the enjoyment of the story. But I think they did a better job about that this time around.
They introduce the new villain about halfway through the movie, then spend the time having Kong and Godzilla prepare for the fight. Then the final fight is the standard 10-20 minutes. That timing feels more standard to me, which I liked.
Also I just bought the blurays for both the Godzilla movies yesterday! I'm so excited to add them to my collection.
It is definitely a fun two parter!
