So we can all admit monsterkino has officially blown capeshit

>>80363182
>Monsterkino > Capeshit
>Monsterkino < Capekino

If this hadn't launched within of the greatest capekinos ever released (Logan) it would've been received a whole lot better.

>>80363182
Godzilla suffered from monster screen time, Kong lacked main character focus.Both were fun I suppose. That said, I do want to see Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah

>>80363246
it beat Logan at the box office. Sorry.

>>80363226
this

BvS > Godzilla 2014 > Man of Steel > Kong >>>>>>>> capeshit (pretty much all of marvels output)

Kong was mediocre desu, though if you just want some mindless monster mashing then you'll get what you need.

>>80363362
No it didn't. Logan is almost at 500 million and looking to make Deadpool numbers. Kong will barely scrap 300 million at the end of it's run due to all of the other blockbusters coming out.

>>80363380
You're probably 13 years old. It's spring break in some places now, isn't it?

Why does Godzilla get so much shit? It was a fun monster movie

>>80363226
The thing is there isn't and wont be capekino. It's a myth

>>80363435
I'm 20 and exclusively watch patrician films.

>>80363380
>BvS above MoS
Fucking killyourself, even MoS is better than BvS what the fuck, even Kong it's better than BvS

>>80363454
No idea, thought it was great personally. Its only failing is that Bryan Cranston dies, and Kong also makes that same mistake with John Goodman's character.

>>80363404
I dont think so anon, even if it hurts, the true really is that Kong will win the box office against Logan

>>80363552
Nope, you got caught up on the hate bandwagon.

>>80363182
It was a fun movie. That's about all I can say.

>>80363182
I enjoyed Shin Godzilla. Would I like this movie?

>>80363636
maybe but it's hard to tell, if you liked godzilla 2014 you'll like it

Batman Begins, TDK, Hellboy1+2, and Logan are he only good capemovies out there.

Kaiju genre overall is better with tho OG Godzilla, Gamera trilogy, Shin Godzilla and others

What the fuck was up with the direction of this movie? It felt like the director was trying to be Zack Snyder but Zack Snyder's style is already shit so it doesn't leave much room for quality. The slow-mo was way too overused desu

>>80363711
It was trying to pay homage/emulate Apocalypse Now and some other Vietnam War movies. Some of the stylized shots were really cool, some were lame and amateurish. This movie's greatest sin is the blatant China pandering with the obligatory no name Chinese actress taking up screen time constantly but barely saying anything and providing absolutely nothing to the story.

>>80363552
You didn't actually watch BvS did you?

>>80363711
you don't have a clue what direction is if you thought this film was harping on Zach Synders style

>>80363666

Not that anon, but by this do you mean "if you liked the godzilla scenes in 2014, then you'll like it?" because they were the only ones I liked in that movie which I would say was horrible otherwise (in reference to the human scenes and how they played them post cranston).

>>80363993
yeah pretty much, the film shows king kong quite a bit.

Movie is like a 5/10.
Also hated that the movie was restricted by its PG-13 rating and how it obviously to break out of it.
2005's King Kong was a lot less ridiculous with its character deaths.

>>80364088
why couldn't the front and tail end of 2005 king kong be as good as the skull island scenes, it would've been the GOAT kong movie.

Speaking of which, sooo little Skull Crawler action. Disappointed me.

It was a fun move once John C Reilly showed up, but aside from him, everyone was miscast and the script and direction were almost as if some shitty MovieMaker AI program were in charge

>>80364496
I kept getting the vibe that it was directed by someone who had previously only done advertisements and music videos

>>80364425
Skull crawlers were cool up to a point, but they should have had a better final boss than just an extra large skull crawler

He's right though.
Kong is in it about the same. maybe a little more, as Godzilla in the 2014 movie.
The skullcrawler action is also boring.

>>80363182
Yes it will but this movie was garbage

>>80364543
they told you the entire movie that the final boss was an extra large skull crawler

What else were they supposed to spring on you?

>>80364141
But the beginning and end of Skull Island are the worst parts of the movie.

>stupid badly directed opening scene with young John C. Reiley and the dude from Unbroken (who was wasted like all of the other actors). And no fucking storm aparently??

>shitty CGI storm scene with the helicopters and Sam Jackson's retarded speech (also hold onto your butts!! XD watch me reference better movies guys)

>>80364496
That's the problem with a lot of these new blockbusters that have been directed by up and coming directors.
They're good directors but they're also studio yes men.

>>80364609
then don't show a bunch of fight scenes with skull crawlers that are about only 20% smaller than the big boss skull crawler, it makes the final battle feel anticlimactic

>>80364615
You're also forgetting how the final fight and the group escaping feel like totally separate things happening and neither really feels like it affects one another, except for the skullcrawler chasing them for a second and getting shot at.
Shouldn't all of these big crashes and splashed be affecting the crew on the boat?

That one bit did kind of annoy me, where Loki talks that one guy into lowering his gun from that giant water buffalo thing, and then as he's lowering his gun, she raises her camera. They even do a rack focus to really drive that fucker home.

>>80364457
Winter Soldier was shit

>>80363182

The movie itself was ok, but I still like the '05 Kong way more, even if that one was 30-40 minutes too long. Regardless, as long as the eventuality is big budget remakes of Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster and King Kong vs. Godzilla, I'll accept this movie to get us there.

>>80364899
no it wasn't

>>80364496
We're never going to get blockbusterkino unless it's done by Nolan or Affleck. For as absurd as it sounds, it would almost have to be indepenedtly produced or crowdsourced.

As long as a studio is in charge of any movie with a budget of over 100+ million, over half of what you see will be homogenized focus group tier cliche bullshit because studios absolutely refuse to take creative risk with that much money on the line.

They're inspired by Sachiel (from Evangelion), Cubone and Spirited Away's No Face. The latter I assume cause of the way they crawl around.

>>80365130
Godzilla had minimal oversight and had a mostly white cast and male leads

>>80365226
Japanese Godzilla would obliterate anyone, because his whole character is written to be an unstoppable monster sue with plot armor out the ass.

This is because everyone truly believes that niggers and spics are inherently incapable of being smart, organized, or hard working enough to come up with real solutions to real problems.

They also are inherently aware that a nonwhite person isn't capable of organizing any sort of kind of group into a realistic menacing threat. The only exceptions to this I can think of are Vin Diesel (who is white enough that he can be sold to white and Asian markets) and Samuel L Jackson who has worked so hard for so long making so many different kinds of movies that you almost expect him to be in a film if there's a black role.

Asians specifically will not watch anything that heavily features niggers for the exact reasons I just cited. It's simply too unrealistic to have them be anything else other than mindless labor.

I think we have a big misunderstanding, lol. I was saying I wished the first part and last part were as good as the Skull Island scenes FROM the 2005 King Kong (like the midpoint of the movie). The first hour or so on the boat was fuckin miserable. I wasn't referring to the new movie at all, haven't seen it yet.

Just more brainless popcorn flick garbage, but I'm glad they gave Kong a bunch of screen time.

This one suffered from coming after the '05
Feels like it was specifically made just so G vs K can happen

The new trend for studio productions is to hire literal whos so they don't challenge the studio

Marvel has tried to hire big guys in the past and it always ends in conflict because Marvel doesn't care about "artistic vision"

Other people have done the same thing like Colin Trevorrow and Jurassic World and that movie was a major success, though I doubt that had anything to do with the director, just because it was a well-loved property and there were only white people in it

I almost completely agree with you Anon, as long as they handle the dear Billy shit in a way that doesn't involve everybody constantly saying "dear Billy" at the beginning of their sentences. There was a lot of cringeworthy dialogue in this movie but those were some of the most annoying bits desu
