They made Godzilla a friggin' villain?!? There better be a good reason because I'm not happy.

100% he isn't the villain. In this universe he has saved the world twice, and has never been antagonistic to humans, he has just been keeping order by taking out other monsters. Calling it now, that Godzilla Kongs fighting in the trailers...not the big G...it's mecha! Now for what reason it could be anything (humans, charles dances goons from the last one, aliens etc) but no way they are making the hero from the pervious films just turn heel so he can fight Kong (and automatically mean he is billed to lose! If he was the villian no way he'd beat Kong in the end)Originally Posted by Self.Destructive.Pattern

Behold the morning star
If you pay attention to the trailer, it actually spoils that plot point. Now I’m worried about the movie.They made Godzilla a friggin' villain?!? There better be a good reason because I'm not happy

Ugh, you're right.
I forgot Tywin Lannister still has Ghidorahs head. Also forgot there was a toy leak about what will be in the film.. Eh, somewhat looking forward to it.

And now, you're missing Tyrion and his crossbow, don't you? Also: don't forget that the original Gorija was a villain.
Mecha all the way, by the way. That's the only explanation.
Kong is now a bit taller than Zilla. Thor, pay attention: Kong went for the head.
Love the little girl and her Kong doll. I want a Kong doll.
Finally: fuck you, Covid-19. This movie needs to be seen on a huge screen and heard through speakers so gigantic and loud that you feel the Titans breath on your face when they roar and scream.

Hahaa, that made me chuckle. And I'm aware of what Gorija was back in 54'; it is one of my favorites! Agreed, I would like to see this on the big screen after seeing the first two there. The visuals were sooo good in KOTM.

I'm a fan of The Return Of Godzilla (1984) aka Godzilla 1985

Lets not forget Shin Godzilla, straight up villain in that! Was also awesome.

OK here's a REALLY out there theory (note i have not looked at any of the leaks of the toys or anything, i'm just having some fun) curtesy of the Weekly Planet Podcast...what if there are 2 Godzillas?
In most other Godzilla timelines there are 2 Godzillas, original and then a baby that becomes the main one. The Big G in the trailers looks a bit smaller, so what if it's an infant Godzilla. Basically at the end of GotM's Godzilla was in a bit of a state so went to hibernate, and was then taken (know idea how but stay with me) and was then mecha'd up to control it. Lil G is rampaging because it's trying to find it's parent, and clashing with Kong...in the end they end up teaming up to try and save (or fight) mecha? That could be fun.

UK Officially NOT GETTING A CINEMATIC RELEASE and will be ONLINE ONLY.
https://www.liveforfilm.com/2021/03/15/godzilla-vs-kong-gets-a-new-featurette-and-a-uk-release-date/
I'm so incredibly angry about this. Everyone else seems to be getting both, but nope just online for us. There's no way i can watch this on my crappy 720p monitors (and they want nearly £20 as well, the fucking blu-ray will be cheaper when that comes out!) Fuck sake.

Can't seem to find any information on how to see this in Germany. Guess we will follow the UK rout and have it streamed only as cinemas are still not open here/close off again. But there is no way I'll pay 20+ € to see this on the small screen. I'll gladly throw my money at it for the big screen, but this year in movie's is a bummer just like 2020. :/
Yet, I'm super hyped up about this movie and early reviews are quite good. Then again, I just want some badass monster-action and the trailers keep promising just that. :9

According to RT: 9 reviews so far, all of them positive. I'm going tonight to my local cinema!
Edit: Just came back from the cinema, really entertaining film! I felt more engaged here than in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The human characters are more enjoyable here, their backstory is still minimal compared to the battle between Kong and Godzilla, but it is more enjoyable than the King of the Monsters backstory. Millie Bobby Brown is quite good here compared to the last film, her sidekicks are quite funny.
Spoiler: The Hong Kong battle sequence is quite something, I really liked the aesthetic of that whole sequence, the lighting was phenomenal.
And this film veers the MonsterVerse into sci fi territory, I found that whole section of the film fascinating. When the term “hollow Earth” was first mentioned I kinda rolled my eyes, I thought that suspension of disbelief was going to be hard there but actually it was not, that whole act really worked (for me at least). I felt transported to a far away world, I guess this is what I would expect from a movie in this Covid world, to disconnect from reality for a couple of hours.
King Kong’s “acting” was superb, they really nailed its eyes, you can feel emotion through its eyes. I wasn’t expecting much after the King of the Monsters fiasco so this was a nice surprise.
My ranking:
1. Godzilla (2014)
2. Godzilla vs Kong
3. Kong: Skull Island
4. King of the Monsters

Glad you liked it! I'm totally stoked, but it's oh so frustrating as today seems to be the official release in Germany, yet no cinemas are open and there's no channel to stream it on. I have no idea on how to get my hands on this movie in the next coming weeks. A real bummer...

Spoiler: Forgot to mention that there’s some sort of homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey. That was a cool scene, you’ll know which one I’m talking about.
I saw it on IMAX, totally worth it. Go for IMAX if you have the chance.

I thought this didn't hit theaters until next week. How's everyone seeing it early?

In Mexico the release was a week ahead of the US, don't know why.

Use of the spoiler function would be nice...

Going by myself Thursday afternoon to the only true IMAX near me, at the Lincoln Center AMC. Psyched outta my mind, but also prepared to be let down bc the last Godzilla sucked. I was able to ignore the awful human stuff for the King movie, but I couldn't shake it for the last Godzilla and it really clouded my final opinion.

I fail to see the negative here.
I was nobody. Nothing.
100% agree.
This is what I wish to see, precisely: a giant lizard and a giant ape fight. Isn't that SUPPOSED to be the best thing about a movie that's basically called "Giant Lizard vs. Giant Ape?"

We re-watched King of the Monsters last night and I liked it a hell of a lot better then I did seeing it in the theater. Super pumped to watch Kong from the comfort of my couch tonight.
Active Member
It was alright. Entertaining for the most part. I guess it was better than King Of Monsters.
Active Member
I'm confused by the comments in this thread recently regarding King Of The Monsters. I thought that was easily the best of the 3. Was completely disappointed with Skull Island and thought Godzilla 1 was ok but had far too little scenes with Godzilla in them. Felt KOTM had just the right amount of giant monster fights and all of those scenes were great. Couldn't tell you what the human plot was about though, but as @elevenism pointed out above, couldn't care less about that aspect.

I like Gareth Edwards' Godzilla the most when it comes to tone and really showing us the sense of scale. I just hate the acting/delivery of lines in King Of The Monsters. I need more than just monster fights. Godzilla vs Kong is pretty much Pacific Rim. They sprinkle in a couple of moments in GvK to give us some sense of how big these monsters are and how massive their destruction is, but Pacific Rim did it better than KotM and GvK. I am waiting for Legendary to tie them in together lol. I just found these got a little silly and somehow they managed to make the acting worst in KotM than G1. GvK acting is a step up from KotM. Edwards' Godzilla still is the best one in my opinion.
I imagine the credits like this...

Is Skull Island part of this universe? That one was REALLY good, in terms of having a big, interesting story.
I don't NEED a big, interesting story, though. I just wanna see Godzilla fight King Kong with 2020 effects.
