Sorry, that looks like a two hour video game. I MIGHT check it out when it’s streaming. But I won’t pay to see it in a theater.

 

[Tino]

I predict a RT score of 20%

How is the title of this movie supposed to be pronounced?

I saw something recently from a producer or director that said the X is silent.

Then why put it there? Everything about this movie just screams "stupid".

 

[Jake Lipson]

"Godzilla and Kong" was right there...

 

[dpippel]

As much as I hate to pre-judge movies, this has crapfest written all over it. I'll wait until it's streaming to waste a couple of hours on it.

I think all the pre-release naysaying is a bit harsh and think this will be fun for what it’s trying to be. I’ve enjoyed the MonsterVerse movies to varying degrees, really enjoying 2016’s Godzilla and being very disappointed in King of the Monsters, but this one looks entertaining to me (ducks for cover).

One of the Swedish newspapers headlined their review 'is this the worst movie of the year', but as the rest of the review is behind a paywall, I don't know what was so bad.
Definitely not for me, but for those who like these kinds of things, I suppose this is the kind of things they like

This movie is likely not for me but after seeing all the negativity, I appreciate seeing someone not down on it.

Regardless of what I think of the trailers, I’ll definitely be seeing this in IMAX 3D. I hope I enjoy it despite my hatred of those trailers.

I have zero problem with a 'dumb monster movie' being a dumb monster movie.

 

[Tino]

Seeing it today in IMAX 3D. 3pm.

I may be going this afternoon with my older son.

I haven’t been too enamoured with the Monsterverse as a whole, but to paraphrase my son, “sometimes I just want to see giant monsters fighting each other”.

 

[jayembee]

As I've said with some other movies:

"Sometimes, you just want to see monsters and giant robots beat the snot out of each other." (Pacific Rim)

"Sometimes, you just want to see two hours worth of blowin' shit up." (Independence Day: Resurgence)

 

[Tino]

Well it wasn’t the disaster I thought it would be.

It was entertaining for a few hours. You pretty much get what you think.

The effects are great, the humans characters are terrible the dialog is juvenile and the monster fights are epic.

And Kong is the star. Front and center.

There is another monster called Godzilla but I didn’t recognize him at all. He just shows up once in a while to cause a ruckus. Call him Godzilla Minus Minus Minus I guess.

It’s the sloppiest and dopiest of all the Monsterverse films but at least it’s better than Skull Island. .

Size & Budget Do NOT Matter

 

[Joe Wong]

It was entertaining. There was a bit of mystery and adventure woven into the narrative. But ultimately it’s a big monster fight.

Naturally the monster scenes are better than the human scenes. Some humour and occasional wacky stuff from Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens. Most of the speaking characters seemed to exist for exposition purposes. Even the director saw the need to inject some rock music now and then. Wacky!

Spoiler

One character’s demise was treated almost with glee rather than dismay. It was almost disconcerting to see the indifference!

But overall I wasn’t bored. Which is not a bad thing.
