Just got back from watching an early screening of Kong, and it was pretty fucking great.
Fixes basically every problem with the Godzilla movie. 8.5/10

What's the post credits scene and are there any other Godzilla references that's all I need to know senpai
>>
>>79969034
Did you feel like they made him bigger so they can plug Godzilla later on or is he still too small for that. He'd have to be close to 300 feet tall for that to be realistic
>>
Godzilla 2014 was really disappointing, so I hope this movie actually did fix the problems that movie had. How much screen time did Kong get? Godzilla had like 8 minutes in his movie
>>
>>79969318
Kong at this point is a juvenile, he's got a few decades to grow to match Godzilla's height.

I didn't notice anything that related to Godzilla, or even see a post credit sceneI left because I forgot all about the GvK movie

>>79969318
He's big already and they say that his only a baby, and seeing that this is 40 years in the past, he's gonna be huge by the time he meet Godzilla.

>>79969335
From the very first 5 minutes to the last scene, he's in most of the movie either fucking shit up or doing his own thing, and its great. Also scene where he's not in and it dealing with the human characters are so much better than it was in Godzilla. Monsters roaming the island is great and there's even a giant spider scene.
>>
Lots of Kong screentime. John c reily killed it. Goodman seemed a bit stiff. Movie manages to balance things pretty well, it is a lite-comedy essentially in tone. Some jokes fell flat but others were great. Main characters could have been done tad bit better imo but is in another league compared to Godzilla. Bretty gud, nothing too awful, overall very entertaining.

>>79969599
Cgi seemed pretty good, would say it was used pretty heavily though, so it might run thin on non-monster stuff.
>>
>>79969259
It doesn't matter how big King Kong is. He's still flesh and blood. Godzilla is nearly indestructible and shoots an atomic blast out of his mouth. How will this be a realistic fight? Explain using science.

John c reilly is underrated. Funny as fuck in comedic roles (walk hard, check it out, talladega nights) and great in dramatic roles (gangs of new york , thin red line, aviator). Never seen a bad movie with him in it
>>
>>79969034
Is John C. Reilly good in it? He's actually one of my favorite actors, although it does seem like he goes full on Brule in the trailers. This is one of the few flicks I'm genuinely looking forward to so I hope it's satisfying.
>>
Felt like they teased future alien monsters at one point. !!!!
>>
>>79969741

Does he get eaten, or better yet stepped on?

He's the best character in the movie

It would be easier telling you who lives.

>Is Sam Jackson's death bitching?

Yes, after the helicopter scene from the trailers, he goes full captain Ahab trying to find and kill the Kong. After everything is done he uses explosives to lure Kong into a trap and incapacitate him, and plant c4 all over him. Everyone is telling to let it go and that Kong is really only defending his territory when suddenly a giant monster comes from the ground and everyone runs away. Sam stands his tried to detonate the c4 but Kong smashes his with his fist.
>>
I seent it too. Agree with the OP, lots of good action featuring Kong. Better movie than Godzilla 2014.

Post Credits is Monarch looking at these drawings of Godzilla and talking about how neat they are etc And then we see Godzilla fighting Mothra, Rodan, Ghidora and some other monsters I don't recognize.
>>
Who lives?

Something like that, character deaths were colorful and pg13 brutal. Best one is a silhouetted one though.

It's a Gareth Edwards film:
- Very weak at directing people unless they're charismatic enough to hold up on their own (i.e. Cranston)
- Not nearly enough of Godzilla onscreen, went too far with the Jaws-style tease-the-monster approach
- Screenplay was hot-potato'd several times and it shows
- With the exception of Cranston's character, almost everyone is paper-thin and generally unengaging, especially Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Other than all that, it was a pretty serviceable film, especially given the circumstances of a fresh-from-indie director being handed the reins to the second big Hollywood attempt at a franchise like Godzilla.

King Kongs got the grit and moxie. He's been on Skull Island training. Godzilla has just been sitting on his ass getting fat.
Also motivation, Kong fights for white women all over the world. Zilla is just a serial killer he has no soul.

meanwhile in 2014 kickass happens to be where godzilla is, stands around, looks for his wife, cant act, stands around. the only interesting character dies like 20 min in

Here's a run down of the entire movie
Part 1
>Opening starts in '44 with a young John Reilly and an enemy Jap plane crashing on the island and fighting before Kong breaks it up
>Fast forward 28 years and John Goodman wants to go to Skull island because he things monsters reside there
>Recruits Samuel and his army to be his protection
>Once they get to the island they start dropping bombs on it to see if the ground is hollow
>It is and everything is going great then suddenly Kong starts killing everyone
>Everyone gets separated and
>Sam confronts John Goodman and tells him to tell him everything or he'll kill him
>Goodman says that he knew monster were real because he was attacked by one and wanted to prove it to the world
>Tom and Brie gets caught into an ambush by the island people and John Reilly bails them out
>Tells them that Kong is their god and is the only thing protecting them from the monster underground and only attacked because they were waking them up
>Everyone gets back together and Sam is like one of men is out there (You see him get eaten by a Skull monster in the previous scene)
>They go into the Danger Zone and one of while John Goodman is taking pictures, a Skull monster sneaks up to him and eat him whole.
>Also the skull monster spit up the bones and tags of the guy there are looking for.
>Battle ensues and they kill it
>>
>>79970794
Part 2
>Everyone is like like fuck that shit, lets go, but Sam isn't having it. He wants Kong dead.
>He and his remaining men go out to get some explosives to kill Kong
>They incapacitate him with fire and explosives, but before they can kill him Tom and Brie says not to and that he's only defending himself
>Everyone backs off except for Sam who has the Bloodlust and says "Bitch please" to Brie
>Suddenly a giant Skull monster comes and everyone runs except for Sam who is standing his ground to both monsters and tries to kill the 3 of them with c4 he plants to kill Kong with.
>Before he can detonate it, Kong crushes him with his fist and a fight between the two ensues with the Skull monster winning.
>Human characters are running away from the Skull monster and one of the soldiers say he's tried and tries to sacrifice himself to kill the monster by unpinning a bunch of grenades and having it eat him
>Skull monster says bitch please and flings him with his tail into a wall
>Kong returns for round 2 with Brie on support with a flare gun.
>Brie gets herself knocked into a river and Kong saves her
>Skull monster tries to eat Brie out of his hand and Kong rips out its insides from its mouth
>Kong pimp walks away and everyone goes home
>John Reilly gets a scene where he's reunited with his wife and son he's never seen before and get to see the Cubs with the world series with a hot dog in one hand and a beer in the other.

Shins zilla was as boring if not more so, than zilla14. The characters in shin were generic stereotypes of the genre. Politics is boring. Padding more than 2 thirds of a movie with it is garbage. But hey I'm obviously wrong because a gook made one and a westerner made another, and I know how much you weabs are self loathing betas.

>Human characters are running away from the Skull monster and one of the soldiers say he's tried and tries to sacrifice himself to kill the monster by unpinning a bunch of grenades and having it eat him
This scenes happens in the day time in trailers yet the fire scene with Jackson happens at night .

In a few of the tv spots they even manage to chain up Kong and we see him destroy their base. Wonder why you didn't mention that.

>>
>>79971141
No that's it. The chains come up during the final battle when Kong gets thrown into a shipwreck by the big skullcrawler. The soldier sacrificing himself is the movie subverting cliches. Similar thing is done when sam jackson says Bitch please to brie

You're full of shit, Shin Godzilla had barely Godzilla too in it

What retards like you doesn't understand is pacing, that's why everybody barely notice there's like 15 minutes tops of dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park movie, or that you barely see the shark in Jaws
Old Godzilla movies have a lot of G in them, but because they are like 1h30 long and that's it

Cutting the airport scene in G14 was a bad move, it's like cutting the T-rex entrance in JP right after it escapes and roars

but the politics are actually interesting. there's some good moments of humor. there's them solving how to beat godzilla. it's not dead space like 2014, or hell, most godzilla movies. jt's like you've never seen the old movies of people standing around making sex robots and riding submarines for no reason and shit. the shooting and music were godly.

Just a normal monster trying to chill, but the guy was sitting on him, so he started to move and the guy panicked and started shooting at it. Monster say that the skullcrawler was right behind him and noped outta there.
And for monsters, besides some birds, that's pretty much everything.
