Very entertaining movie, great CGI, funny moments, great action scenes, good suspense. Story wasnt great, acting wasn't great, lots of cliche stuff and coincidences. This movie wasn't meant to be the best thing ever, it was meant to be funny and entertaining and that's just what it was. If you're thinking it needs to be a masterpiece to be worth watching your either an idiot or you need to get your autism checked.

That's impressive as hell for such a garbage looking film.

Split and Get Out also performed massively above expectations.

Maybe Hollywood will stop whining this year and get on board the Trump Train.

it just reminded me I have to rewatch good vietnam movies.
movie almost seemed rushed, like if they cut a lot of filler, but not the boring filler, only the good filler.

There's no gap.

This film has like 75% on RT.

Film criticism is dead.

Audiences watch anything with a brand name and a marketing budget.

We're now in a post modern hell.

I bet the top 5 grossing films of the year will be based on pre-existing properties.

thats where yer wrong, kiddo. I had VHS recordings of whatever Godzilla movies had US releases before GINO ever happened. also was hype for Godzilla 2000 as a kid. try not to assume things, son. makes you look stupid.

>>80346118
Let me guess, you liked The Force Awakens?

so why didn't they try to save the guys that got eaten by the 1st small skullcrawler thing?
I mean, it was not even 2 minutes from the time he ate them to the time they killed it.
One of them got even swallowed hole, so he must be still ok right?

>>80348685
Did you also go to Godzilla 2000 in theaters? I remember it fondly.

>>80345270
It's gonna do much better overseas, especially in china

>>80348795
I did, yeah. don't remember much about it other than Orga being really goddamn cool.

I read Kong needs to make at least 500 mil before being considered a success, why is the media making a big deal out of 61 mil opening?

>>80348897
It needs to make 5.3 billion

>>80348897
Because it's doing much better than projected.

>>80348876
Ya Orga doesn't get much love, he's like an even more extreme version of Biollante in that he is so different that no one likes him. At least non-Jap audiences like Biollante...

The only flaw was 'HE'S THE LAST OF HIS KIND'

Fuck off, could have left it open ended legendary you dumb fucks

just came back from the cinema and stayed for the post-credits scene
ask me anything

P U R E K I N O

>>80345141
How the fuck did this movie cost $185 million? The CGI is shit outside of Kong. Godzilla only cost $5 million more and looks 100% better.

I'm about to end capeshit's whole career.

>>80348931
I don't know about that. I hear the marketing cost about eight billion alone.

>>80348999

Cause Kong was actually in this movie unlike blink and you'll miss him Godzilla 14

>>80348989
I saw it too, but am I the only person that thought this shit was written by a 12 year old boy?

Like I liked the action parts of the movie (for the most part, some of it was corny), but holy fucking shit that shitty fucking dialogue kept ruining it for me, as well as unbelievable standoffs that were occurring. Don't get me wrong, the movie was about a giant fucking gorilla, but man was it pretty corny at points (even when its just leads interacting).

>>80348999
Godzilla looked like shit

Every scene was shot in the dark for some fucking reason

does it ain't me start playin?

>>80349186
Everytime the lady opened her mouth it made the scene terrible. Which was why it was so great when Sammy told her to shut the fuck up.

>>80348335
fuck off back to /v/. I'd take John C Reilly over tits any day

>>80349218
No.

>>80345141
it was a fun movie, it didn't pussyfoot around and got to the island quick. It did its job.

>>80348976
Biollante is such a cool design that I find it shocking that Japanese fans dont like it.

>>80349218
such a missed opportunity

>>80349218
No, but you do get "Walking Through the Jungle"

>>80349320
Biollante got popular many years later and is still is today, it was only a failure at the time of release

Just watched it, effects and action was bretty gud but everything else was complete garbage.

>>80349314
When you have to speed things along as much as this movie did you know it's time to stop rehashing this shit.

There wasn't even a point beyond setting up a future movie, it's no better than capeshit now.

>>80349370
damn fucking shame. can we talk about that credits stinger? because holy shit its fucking Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah

>>80349511
they set up at least two movies the fuck you mean

>>80347058
Not a chance with all the competition these few weeks.

It might have a good follow-up weekend.

>>80349186
>>80349224
I also saw it earlier today, sounds like we're all in agreement. The dialogue/script was painfully bad (cheeky black soldier guy making unoriginal jokes throughout, anything the chick said), but I was into all the monster fights, helicopter crashes, and the post-credit sequence actually has me hyped up for more movies.

Fuck superhero movies, haven't been interested or watching them since Age of Ultron, just give me fuckin monsters! I want a rated R King Kong next time.

>>80345270
yeah deadline just said, this is fucking horrible. No Godzilla vs King Kong if this doesnt make more money.

>>80345966
Jesus Christ. This is borderline pornographic. I understand having these videos on youtube for educational purposes, but this seems a little much.

>>80345426
Why do they all have gargantuan breasts?

Is it just me or did they have issues with consistency in his size? Sometimes hes as tall as a mountian, but then his palm and feet were kinda tiny in comparison

Else I was sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time

It's strange realizing there are films like this and Transformers 5 or Pirates Of The Carribean 5 (?) that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, feature the best cast and crews possible, will earn hundreds of millions of dollars and I will never, ever watch them.

Not even as a conscious decision. I can't even imagine having the enthusiasm to add it to my netflix queue.

*anime tiddies

>>80348188
Put the soundtrack in the bad category and I'm pretty much there with you. I think this movie would've been so much better if Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson just didn't appear in it. Both characters were boring as shit and had 0 motivation. Samuel Jackson, John c Riley, and John Goodman actually had interesting back stories and motivations that didn't get explored as much as I would've liked since the movie was wasting so much time on Larson and Hiddleston. Get rid of those two and either replace them with the Asian woman and John Goodman's assistant or throw those out as well.

>that scene where Kong just wants to chill in the lake a bit and wash his wounds

Kong is precious

>>80349872
Tricks of the camera. You can make a manlet look like a giant without needing CGI simply by shooting at the proper angles.

>>80349224
One of my favorite parts of the movie. Samuel knew damn well why she was in the movie and it sure wasn't to tell a better story

>>80349978

>>80351421
I don't care what people say shes the most beautiful and lovely woman on Youtube, Alicia Malone knows a little too much how hot she is but Grace actually has a brain and a real opinion on things I can respect as well as having a nice voluptuous body.

>>80352245
A dark secret about women is that breastfeeding gives them orgasms and its really sad for them to give it up. That is why breastfeeding was banned for so long outside.

>>80348188
Holy shit, I never realized how similar the plot really was to JP3. I thought it felt familiar.

>>80348334

What the fuck was the point of the Chinese chick? She said like two lines in the entire thing, I'm pretty sure she solely existed for the Chinese market.

Also I liked that two characters were named Marlow and Conrad, although I'm not sure how many people remember their high school English classes to get that reference.

>>80348897

>>80354355

>Hollywood accounting

You mean accounting.

Harry Potter used a shell company. Same shit every business does.

It's why Facebook has never and will never make money.

>>80354457

Several different things.

The one most people are referencing is signing idiots into profit sharing based on net points rather than gross.

Net profit never occurs because the gross shares suck up all the profits.

In the case of Potter or Jedi which often get stated, they used the same system every major corporation does, which is using shell companies. Warner Brothers creates a new company called Harry Potter Inc. Harry Potter Inc. makes a Harry Potter movie and then pays Warner Brothers a billion dollars to distribute the film. Harry Potter Inc never makes a profit as a result. Warner Brothers does though. If they're smart like Warner Brothers they will base themselves in the Cayman Islands where they pay no tax. Facebook Ireland never makes a profit because it pays all of its """""fees"""""" to Facebook Cayman etc.

Then there are the tax write offs like Germany and Australia used to have. You claim a 100% tax return on your investment. Pay no tax unless the film is a success. You can also put a lot of expenses and salaries under the film budget.

If your company earns 2 million bucks, you can either lose a million to the tax man or put that mil into a Steven Segal movie, pay yourself a 250k producer fee and maybe buy a house (lol """"set""""") or a new car (lol """""prop""""").

I just arrived from the theater and imo is a wasted opportunity.

Is not a terrible movie because in the end the action and the mosnters keeps you interested but holy shit how difficult it is, in a 200m budget movie, to hire a writter who doesn't suck?, is a continuos hit and miss, Goodman is one of my favourite actors alive and is completely forgettable in this movie, same happens with S.L. Jackson.

Also Brie Larson sucks, although the fact that I saw the 2005 movie yesterday doesn't help, Naomi Watts makes a wonderfull job in that movie.
