Godzilla vs Kong - Movie Review

 

Godzilla vs kong is directed by adam wingard and as you might expect is a movie where godzilla and kong fight take all of my money. Now basically some scientists are trying to find a location that is of myth they believe that kong could perhaps lead them to it and godzilla is out in the world wreaking havoc and killing people.  So folks are confused godzilla tends to be someone who kind of balances the scales of justice and does the right thing. So why does it appear that he's killing innocent people and of course eventually these two titans are going to sort some

Thing out. Quick backstory that king kong vs godzilla was on repeat

Constantly when i was in elementary school. It's a very cheesy movie

Admittedly especially if you watch the american version

But that little kid didn't bother. He loved it and he watched it all the time

And that kid, that's still inside me had a big cheesy grin throughout almost this

Entire film. I really had a good time with godzilla vs kong because it basically gives you exactly what you want. It doesn't overstay its, welcome it's a very tightly paced movie and that it's the shortest so far in this most recent series of godzilla and king kong films. The movie doesn't waste too much time with things that you might not necessarily care about and it doesn't have a grand aspiration towards really anything else than entertaining the hell out of you with a series of epic bouts between godzilla and kong. They do not disappoint that's what you want to see that's what's on the poster.

The movie delivers that 100 especially in the latter half the second half of the movie is almost non-stop kong and godzilla stuff and it's really exciting and fun.  Now one complaint that's been thrown around a lot for these recent kong and godzilla movies and i've certainly said it is that the human characters are kind of boring. Most people watch these movies for the titans but it would still be nice if you kind of cared about the little ants that are walking around on the ground.

This movie is very self-aware in that it does the bare minimum basics for the human characters. It establishes the characters, their motivations their, goals why are they in this movie? Why are they doing what they're doing? And it gives traits to each one of them. Some are overly serious some are very funny some are paranoid and some characters cancel each other out.

 

Brian Tyree Henry was very funny as a conspiratorial podcast host who has a lot of thoughts about what the government is doing and some of them end up being true. So getting to watch him discover that his paranoid ratings on the internet are actually fact was very funny but julian dennison who i loved and hunt for the wider people is also there for comic relief and those two characters are sort of on a side quest. With millie bobby brown's character and sometimes it feels like the movie stops when we're with them. Eventually there's a concrete reason for them being in the movie and the characters are entertaining and as i said brian tyree henry is very funny and likable and so he definitely makes his scenes very enjoyable but alexander skarsgard and rebecca hall are basically the main story. They're trying to find this hidden world and kong is leading them. There this was really smart because instead of having kong just be an animal that occasionally

Appears to wreak some havoc he's integral to the story. They need him for the story so not only do we get to see more of the monsters but they made them more integral to the story this time around.  But as i said the film is extremely well paced in that it gives you just enough of the human people because they're really not that interesting and what they're trying to do can at times be a little incomprehensible. The best way that i can describe godzilla vs kong is that it feels like an early 2000s movie and i mean that as a compliment. There used to be films that were just big fun movies and that's it. They had the needed character.

Development the bare minimum basics but the movies knew why you were there.  They were very self-aware. They didn't have these grand aspirations to be these overly pretentious human dramas and i miss times like that at the movies where it just felt like you could go and have a fun time even if it is disposable it's almost like the film knows it is and is totally okay with that. Adam wingard does so many fun things with the fight sequences in the movie he simulates a camera that's mounted to their arms sometimes so when they throw punches it creates this great sort of dizzying effect. The fights are gorgeous, the visual effects truly

Have reached an amazing period like we are in the future. The look

Of this movie is absolutely breathtaking. I do think there's one missed opportunity though there's an area of the film without getting into details where gravity is sort of up. I really wish that godzilla and kong fought in that spot somehow it could have been like the inception fight of godzilla and kong. It feels like a missed opportunity.

 

Rest the film is great to watch and carries a lot of action.
