Metacritic is far better than Rotten tomatoes. It has a unified critic score that people actually see, and not a split, misleading, one like plebtomatoes has.

There's a literal scene where the text showing the names takes up half the screen for a second.

Movie just didn't work for me. Took too long to set up Godzilla, the dread of the situation was minor and there were useless shots in the movie that were bizarre af.

>>80214482
Bigger question: WHY ISNT ANYONE SUEING THEM FOR LITERALLY COPYING THE MOST RECENT GODZILLA MOVIE?
Seriously, even the way they explain the origin of Kong IN THE FUCKING PREVIEW TRAILER gave it away.

I mean there's a moment where he uses a crane shot with two people talking and it cuts to pipes for no reason.

>>80214482
The 1933 is also overrated.
>>80214668
This. It was never a movie with good characters or plot. The original is basically a gallery of monsters with herbivorous dinosaurs eating humans.

>>80217834
Same company.
Same universe even.

I'd say the last good Kong movie was the 1976 remake, and MAYBE the 1986 King Kong Lives

>>80217680
Didn't you feel the dread at the beggining when Godzilla destroyed everything around him and the bureaucrats were unable to do anything because they were so incompetent? Or when Godzilla obliterated an entire city leaving a trail of radiation behind?

>>80214482
why does no one like 2005

King Kong would be better without King Kong. Skull Island and everything living there is more interesting than that overrated ape.

>>80214482
>since 1933
But even the original is shit.
Oh look its a giant ape. Thats the whole fucking movie. Its so fucking stupid i cant believe this isnt a franchise universally mocked as a shit idea.
At least Godzilla, as shit and silly as he became, had a fucking point.

>>80218156

>intentional information overload
>lasts one second
I mean, I know you're using it as an example but I still don't think it's a legit criticism. It's not the way a lot of films are presented, but the jarring nature and, to beh onest, downright boredom of the first half an hour actually worked really well for me, looking back. And even better on rewatch.

The pipe/crane shot, for example, was (I think) to emphasise how small the characters felt, dwarfed by the incoming nuclear explosion and the international power machinations behind it. And the pipes were obviously to set up the Yaguchi plan

the original King Kong had basically the same point...not to fuck around with nature. its just that in this instance, the monster was defeated.

Peter Jakson's King Kong was supremely entertaining as a 12 year old boy.

This one looks far far worse

Should I spend my last 20 bucks to go see this in IMAX 3D?

Wow its fucking awful.

is kong immortal? in the trailer they mention nuking him in the 50's

>>80219043
That wasnt the point of Godzilla
Godzilla was a unique perspective on the horrors of the atomic age coming out of literally the only country to have been attacked with nuclear weapons.
King Kong was just bland even in 1933.

>>80218222
that new thor tho!!!

Are you sure you saw Shin Godzilla and not some other movie?

>>80219128
>horrors of the atomic age
I don't know if you know this or not, but nuclear weapons are a result of the manipulation of elements, which are a part of nature.

FUCK DONALD TRUMPF N FUCK WHITE PPL

>>80219121
It's a pretty standard monster movie cliche to have monsters be invincible, or else they aren't really monsters.

In reality there is no reason why a single full loaded Huey gunship couldn't kill Kong, but watching a giant ape take an AGM-22 to the face and die wouldn't make a very good movie.

>>80219214
If you're trying to imply that godzilla is a representation of nature taking revenge rather than a manifestation of japans fear of the nuclear age then you are either retarded or trolling.
>part of nature
sure. That still doesnt make nature the main theme surrounding Godzilla.

>>80219136
that pokemon tho!!

>>80219292
>retarded or trolling
Can I not strive for both?

>>80219280
sorry, I didn't explain well enough. When is this set? how old is kong? 50 to 80 years old?

>>80219121
That's a reference to 2014's Godzilla. Same organization that was trying to kill Godzilla is investigating Skull Island.

2005 King Kong was comfy af

plus it had prime Naomi Watts, Jack Black with a surprisingly decent performance, Brody was good as always, the supporting cast (that black guy, Kyle Chandler, Tom Hank's son) were all great too. Decent cinematography, captured the vibe of the time as well, the Natives were done cool

Also it had the best movie video game of all time

I'm tired of people shitting on this movie, it was great

It is known tie-in movies in cinematic universes are garbage. I.E Avengers 2

>>80219946
Agreed. Terrible dinosaurs though.

king kong has always been a stupid story.
there will never be a good movie.

Ok, so I've always wondered, but felt too stupid to ask. Is the original 1930's King Kong about blacks banging white women?

>>80218624

was that the Peter Hackson one? with Jack Black?

That was fucking awful and about 8.5 hours too long. Hackson needs a goddamned editor.

This.

Even though Netflix's Marvel are /ourguys/, this is pure mistake that they under MCU.

>>80214482
Looks like shit but im still going to watch it

Someone spoiled the script not to long ago and just reading it made me not want to see it. Literally all of the characters in this movie that you can tell bring something to the plot are killed off, most of them in stupidly cliche ways.

The big bads are a bunch of "skull crawlers" that wiped out of the Kong's species and he's the last one left, which is the EXACT same plot of the most recent Godzilla.

The only thing that makes me want to see it is the end is supposed to have some shit about Ghidora, Mothra, and Godzilla.

>>80219946
>Kyle Chandler
>More like Kyle Thunderock

He's literally this idiot Chad that gets dragged halfway around the world and ends up fighting against what people without imagination would call hell itself and he lives, when you get the impression that he's too fucking stupid to walk in straight line and not get lost.

He stole the movie senpai. Actually that giant negro did but he died.

>>80219095
>lets spend the entire second half of the goddamn movie watching characters gawk at how fucking big this ape is
But this is not what happened. Half of the movie is about adventures on the island. There are many scenes with random dinosaurs.

>>80223394
>when the cuck hits you

I saw it yesterday at a free screening. It's shit. There's far too many characters(a token Chinese who does fuck all of importance as well) and the pace is so frenetic to cater for them all it feels like the film is going by at lightspeed. For about half of the film they keep playing classic rock from the era always starting with an obnoxious shot of someone turning a radio on, or putting on a vinyl, felt very Suicide Squad.

If they cut out all the characters and just made it about a small squad of Vietnam vets, it would have been a lot more palatable but it's just an fucking mess. Avoid.

>>80219128
King Kong is basically about the taboo of marriage with black men during the segregation.
