My review of Godzilla vs Kong

My review of Godzilla vs Kong 

 

Intro: In order for Hollywood to copy what the MCU did they need to get better at it. I mean how can you make a MonsterVerse if you only focus on two monsters? 

Godzilla VS Kong: The movie takes place years after the last Godzilla movie and Monarch is trying to find a new home for Kong. That becomes difficult when Godzilla gets in their way and he's wreaking havoc. So, Monarch has to figure out why Godzilla is acting out of control before he and Kong destroy everything trying to kill each other.   

Out of all the verses movies I enjoy this one the most which isn't saying much. The movie made references to the 1962 film of the same name. I like the role the human characters play in this movie because they feel like supporting characters. We also learn more about the titans in this movie. The movie balances the three stories well, and something happened in the climax that took me by surprise. Godzilla not having a lot of screen time helps build suspense when we see him. Speaking of Godzilla, he is ruthless in this movie, you'll see what I mean when you watch this movie. The fights between Godzilla and Kong were satisfying because I didn't think Godzilla would put up much of a fight because he has small arms, boy was I wrong. 

Bernie Hayes is a conspiracy theorist who's suppose to be the comic relief but he isn't funny. 

Dr. IIene Andrews is Kong's Whisperer with the help of a little girl from his island and Kong has a good rapport with the girl. This is another thing I wish Peter Jackson would have done with his remake. 

One of the problems I have with this movie is that it's centered on Kong and Godzilla feels like a guest star. I'm not saying Godzilla's story doesn't matter however it didn't get much focus. The trailers gave away what was suppose to be a surprise, do we have to stick with teaser trailers now? I don't like how the other Titans are written out of the movie, how can you have a monster verse without monsters? The movie also suffers from plot holes and a lack of humor. Just because this is the type of movie where you have to suspend your disbelief that doesn't mean it can't be sophisticated. Also, this movie left more to be desired.    

All in all, this is a popcorn flick that both Kaiju fans and the general public can have fun with.
