The worst part was terribly underusing John Goodman
The best part was the Godzilla roar at the post-credits scene

prove me wrong

>>80413145
Oh fuck, there was a post-credits scene?

>>80413145
>underusing Goodman

well now I don't really feel like seeing it, he's the best person in that cast

looking at Hiddlestone's stupid face for 2 hours doesn't seem too good either

>>80413204
Yes
Hiddleston and Larson's characters are held up in some interrogation room of Monarch. They then show Kong isn't the only King around. Then we see a couple of cave paintings of King Gidorah, Mothra, Godzilla and Rodan. Then Godzilla roars

>>80413252
The Kong scenes are pretty fun, though

is this the dark knight movie
with aiden gilligan

>>80413069
viet kong is so fucking boring, half the movie is setup for the paper thin characters and travel to the island, then just lame shots made to wow you but are really just drivel. the whole thing is an obvious ad for the ride at universal studios

>>80413464
it's just a comedy faggot

>half the movie is setup
what? this isn't peter jackson's kong, they got there pretty quickly

>>80413464
>half the movie is setup
>film opens with Kong
>they get to more Kong not even 20 minutes after that
>even more Kong after almost every human scene
Yea okay

it kinda confuses me that this is part of a universe or series. it just felt like a vietnam war movie parody with monsters thrown in as unsubtle metaphors, and cool visuals. very one-off. I thought it was hilarious though

casting was pretty weird. goodman, reilly and jackson were perfect. but I don't understand why larson and hiddleston were there, they didn't fit at all

>>80414506
you're missing my point, we don't need to see how an expedition is set up, we all know
the movie could have had tons of more things on the island and actual character development but there isn't any

>>80413464
But the ride at Universal Studios is based on the Peter Jackson version.

>>80413069
But why was it so campy compared to Godzilla (2014)....?

>>80416150
I'm 99% sure Godzilla was just supposed to be a standalone movie until someone had the bright idea after the fact to make a franchise

Also completely different director

man, I really hate post-credit scenes. Not because I have to sit through the credits, but because it holds up the theatre cleaners who just have to stand at the entrance and wait for all the autists to fucking leave. I wonder what they think about the mass introduction of post-credits scenes...

>>80416321
They don't mind it if there's enough time between screenings.

>>80416321
how is it any different from the movie just being 10 minutes longer?

>>80416472
because they still have to be there in the theatre waiting on the off chance that no one stays behind for the post-credits

Just saw it. Legitimately enjoyed it, much more than the 2014 Godzilla.


The AMERICA FUCK YEAH scenes with Samual Jackson were fucking hilarious

Kong appeared in the first 5 minutes, had enough screen time, did enough battles with a good camera positioning and in DAYLIGHT

Solid 7,5/10, 8/10 with post-credits

>he doesn't know Larson's character is gonna get APE'd

Did anyone really consider this movie kino? It was okay to middling in my book and I can see how people might think it's pretty gud but seriously kino? Maybe if they kept the Vietnam theme going instead of dropping it partway through the movie but what could possibly make this film anything more than a campy movie?

>>80416321
Who cares? They make 5 dollars an hour. I laugh at them as I'm leaving.

>>80420639
Kong's scenes were kino
Sam Jackson's scenes were kino
But the overall picture was not so much kino

the way she looked at kong... YOU JUST KNOW THEY FUCKED

>>80413069
I thought the movie was fun overall, apart from how "circular" and boring the plot gets in the middle. The action sequences were pretty good and stylish, with them getting REKT as soon as they arrive at the island and the final battle being highlights for me. And the first person, videogame-style shots actually work. One thing triggered my autism, though.

What the hell was up with that scene where Cole sacrifices himself, near the end? He wasn't injured or bleeding. He wasn't holding his team back. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever for him to decide to stay behind and die, the movie doesn't even establish him as being depressed or feeling suicidal because of the war. He could've just kept running. In fact, he was probably the chillest one there. There's a whole gag where his black buddy berates him for just calmly sitting down and eating after almost dying in a plane crash caused by a fucking gigantic gorilla.
What the fuck.

>>80421064
He thought they were doomed, so he decided to try and save everyone by killing the monster, and the best way to do that was to trick it into eating him and then blow it up from the inside
He's really underwritten, especially since he's one of the only likable characters in the movie, but it's not a completely nonsensical train of though

>>80420784
You're very edgy.

>>80421184
Why did they give him such a comedic death and then played it as tragedy, though?

>>80418950
They go to the bar especifically to meet up with Hiddlestom. They know exactly who he is and why they need him. Pay attention to the movies you watch.

>>80416321
They're supposed to wait for the credits to end before cleaning anyways, dumbfuck

The monster would have caught up to them, so he decided to be a hero and sacrifice himself

Then he get swept away like a bug. It was fucking hilarious. I like how they took a shit on the "GO ON WITHOUT ME, I'LL HOLD THEM UP" cliché

>>80421268
I didn't find it funny but I can see how some might.
It was a nice way to subvert the suicide savior trope.
Why he didn't throw a grenade into the monster's open mouth is a better question.

>>80421184
>>80421353
Yeah, I think him being a bit underwritten gets in the way of understanding why he'd simply give up like that. But I do see where you guys are coming from and both of those answers fit.
The death itself being a riff on the whole "go on without me, friends!" cliché was indeed nice though, I agree.

>>80413069
this movie was fucking hilarious, intentionally or not. the audience kept laughing throughout

>>80420639
I didn't think it was that good.

The movie had a tonal problem. One scene serious shit is happening, then suddenly the next one Reilly is doing comedy. There was also alot of choppy scene transitions. I did like the go-pro gun cams though, those were well shot.

Most of the characters were fucking stiff as shit, in particular Tom and Brie. Also, while that Chinese girl was a qt, her character was pointless with 10 lines tops, that could've been rolled into another character without losing anything. She was probably written into the contract with 10cent, since she's also gonna be in Pacific Rim 2 boogaloo. Not sure if Goodman was miscast or he was phoning it in, because he was boring. Sam did a good job, but he also seemed slightly out of character as a Lt. Colonel when he lapsed into his Ghetto atttitude spats. Cole's death kinda seemed like an asspull to make the audience laugh.

I thought the 'Nam aesthetic was pushed way too hard, considering it had less than quarter of the movie to do anything at all with 'Nam. The soundtrack was good, but stereotypical. Lack of It Ain't Me was surprising and somewhat pleasant.

I know it was an action-kinorino, but there was alot of stuff military-wise that made me cringe. Like how they charge into that fuckhueg storm, with the fucking side-doors on the Hueys wide open, and Sam is giving some sort of inspirational speech through the intercom while wind and shit is screaming through the cabin. Or how they dogfight King Kong close enough so they can be smashed by him, or crash/shoot one another. Also how they're all heli pilots, and as soon as they crash they're out of their pilot gear and into GI grunt kit. One guy has a fucking flamethrower, and some other guy apparently was carrying a fiddycal through the jungle (remember these are chopper pilots). Also the kid had a M16A2 with M203, a model not in service at that time. Tingled my /k/autism.

Should have been more about Kong curbstomping monsters.

>One scene serious shit is happening, then suddenly the next one Reilly is doing comedy

there was no seriousness in this movie though

S. Jackson's character's drama was so fucking exaggerated, I laughed my ass off every time he went full PTSD, or more like PostGorillaStressDisorder

Also the undeveloped characters were a PLUS point for me instead of negative. The biggest mistake about '14 Zilla was that it focused way WAY too much on the characters, and less on the "giant monsters beating the shit out of each other" part. Here, we got just enough focus on the characters to let the plot build up and advance, and a shitton of scenes with Kong. Perfect. Like oh no, the Asian chick didn't have any backstory or lines. Who cares, she was there only to increase the squad size, so that the movie is not about 2-3 guys running around.

I agree on the military part though.

>>80421064
>There's a whole gag where his black buddy
this was supposed to be part of some ongoing buddy movie style comedy hijinks between the pair but none of the jokes were even slightly funny, and there was no chemistry as the black guy had zero charisma. Just one of the many 'wtf were they thinking' aspects of this shitshow.

>>80421268
This. He was very likeable, and he got a cuck's death, no one was laughing in the theater, they were mostly uncomfortable. I can see doing that to a hated annoying character (e.g. the lawyers portapotty death in Jurassic Park) but it didn't feel right here at all.

Is this worth it?

From the trailer it looked like some kind of surreal mashup of Vietnam Movies and Pacific Rim.

I almost expect to hear IT AIN'T ME blasting off at some point.

>>80423739
Do you enjoy monsters beating the shit out of the army, and each other?

If so, yes. It's very entertaining.

The scene where Brie touches Kong's face was so fucking shoehorned in

>>80419312
>>80419409
>>80419505
>>80419630
So, what its Godzilla and Kong (established now as earth protectors) teaming up with Mothra (general good girl) against Rodan and Ghidorah?

>>80423739
See the thing is, Pacific Rim's script is so bad it's good.
Seeing Idris Elba say "1, dont touch me, and 2, dont touch me" is still fucking fantastic. Plus the fight scenes in that ramp up so amazingly, I mean he gets out a giant fucking robot sword just out of the blue.
Kong has all the same problems, with the stiff cast and shit writing, except it doesnt pay off well at all. A scene where all the helicopters are charging off into a storm and Samuel Jackson starts saying shit about Icarus flying close to the sun or some shit.
Kong has little to no interaction with the human characters through the bulk of the film.
Serious tonal issues where everyone's having a great time, drinking beer and shit and the next someone's getting carried away and dismembered right fucking there and then. Then back to the cheesy quips.
The internal fight between the human characters had literally no progression. Just characters making retarded decisions and the rest of the cast saying fuck it why not let's get even more lost in this fuckass jungle.

Worst of all is theres a real simple talking scene where Hiddleston's talking to someone off camera, but there's a fucking Vertigo shot thrown in there for no fucking reason. What the shit was the director thinking. Goddamn.

Overall this film's gonna blow some 12 year olds minds, with all the monster fights and cool quips and shit, but anyone with at least a shred of self-respect should find themselves angry at all the blatant mistakes made throughout the film.

Shit movie, actually angry over watching it and its positive response.

If he wanted to make it into a farce or satire, I'm fine with that. But this movie is essentially a designed-and-directed-by-committee movie, he is just a cheap director they can order around to do the execs bidding.

the movie is a fun mess, I don't see how it could be anywhere near the execs' vision. because it's so stylised and obsessed with vietnam it doesn't work well as part of a franchise. it's also way off the tone of godzilla

definitely a farce, I don't see how the movie could be seen as anything else

>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Jordan Vogt-Roberts, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Skull Island had a very ook ook philosophy: that if the kong was a good ape, the island would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Jordan Vogt-Roberts can say that Kong became King and reigned for a hundred years, and he was strong and good. But doesn’t ask the question: What was Kong’s tax policy? Did he maintain a banana hoard? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these skullcrawlers? By the end of the movie, Sam Jackson is gone but all of the skullcrawlers aren’t gone – they’re in the caverns. Did Kong pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby skullcrawlers, in their little lizard cradles?

go back to r/movies plebs. Monster movies and character development don't have to be mutually exclusive. Okay, I had unrealistic expectations, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an unoriginal action comedy(?) with le meta references reliant on tired action movie tropes and stereotypical characters. Movie never needed to be made in the first place. But keep on being your typical american entertainment consumer and continue to watch remakes and sequels.

My perfectly honest opinion on Kong Skull Island is that these attempts at making modern monster movies with large budgets and CG take away the only reason to really watch these movies for anyone over the age of seven, the cheesiness and camp quality.

I hate to be /pol/ here but the adults of the previous generation had any sense of real identity robbed from them by Jews which has created this phenomenon where people's identity are wrapped up in Hollywood products that now have to grow with the people who initially loved them as kids, which is why you have forty year old men still buying comic books and asking for darker adaptations of properties originally made to sell toys to kids.

So now we have to have the "serious" adaptation, and of course, this wasn't as bad as Godzilla but it was still incredibly boring for most of the runtime. This same problem applies to Capeshit too but Capeshit can at least create compelling human characters sometimes like Superman and Batman, the characters in Kong suck and the monsters are just there to smash things.

>>80426999
For Reddit to circlejerk over

>>80426999
>quips style comedy in all these movies
quips at this point is just a buzzword to mean any jokes.
There are legitimate jokes in the film with set ups and pay offs.
Now Age of Ultron that's quip central. It's easier than actually writing good dialogue. If your character just jokes everything away you don't have to write actual depth into them.

>>80423576
That anectode they discuss right before the giant spider fucks their shit up fell especially flat. Like it was clearly supposed to be amusing but it just didn't land.

>>80426999
there are funny quips in classic action movies like T2, Predator, Aliens, etc., but it's not easy to get the right tone/timing/delivery, comedy is difficult and getting a genuinely funny line from a script to the screen requires talent, which nobody seems to have anymore.

>>80426999
This movie has comedy, yes, but barely any quips. Quips are the smartass one liners or non-sequiturs you usually see in Marvel movies.

>>80425769
Yeah it's honestly horseshit that they would detain Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston but let John C. Reily go, considering that, if nothing else, he's the world's foremost expert on Skull Island and everything that lives on it
I'm glad he got a happy ending though, he's the only one that deserved it other than John Goodman and Sam Jackson

>>80413069

>>80424852
This movie is way too stylized to be "designed-and-directed-by-committee".

>>80427839
It's not stylized at all. It has a light Vietnam/70's theme at random points, and it has good photography, but there's no consistent style, it's a mish mash of utter shit decisions and non-decisions.

>>80427759
I mean there are a couple of obvious scenes where something flies at the screen for the 3D audience, but other than that I have no idea. I've always thought 3D movies were a meme though, so take that as you will

>>80425265
>because it's so stylised and obsessed with vietnam it doesn't work well as part of a franchise. it's also way off the tone of godzilla

But that's good IMO. Having one universe where each one of the movies has its own style and tone is 10x more interesting than the homogenized bland shit we see on the MCU and the DCEU, for example. Now those are directed-by-committee, production-line made movies.

am I the only one that laughed during Hiddleston's gas katana sequence when he was cutting pteras in slow motion? shit was hilarious as fuck. but the whole movie is good though. better than 14 Godzilla. the world building is fine, but I think they could have done more in that regard. the local tribes people, I don't think they were really that necessary.

Samuel L. Jackson was one of the best parts. dude is Vietnam as fuck. he says he wants to avenge his men, but he seems to be just using them as an excuse for his own sanity. this is one war he isn't abandoning. other characters didn't really offer much and just went along with the plot.

>>80420639
Movie's pace was way too rushed.

Samuel L was best thing about the movie cos his character actually had meaning compared to Hiddleston who we knew nothing about and Journalist girl was just there again knowing nothing about her.

Movie is a 6/10 for good visuals but weak characters and the pace was too fast.

That scene was hilariously. Like he puts on the gasmask for like five seconds and then drops it even though the gas is still right there. Completely out of place for this film, but would be entirely appropriate for his MGS film.

>>80428902
>am I the only one that laughed during Hiddleston's gas katana sequence when he was cutting pteras in slow motion?
Where the fuck did he get the gas mask from? Its like he pulled it out of thin air.

Yea that scene was silly and dumb but movie had really good other moments

>>80427332
>Now Age of Ultron that's quip central. It's easier than actually writing good dialogue. If your character just jokes everything away you don't have to write actual depth into them.
and now it's spreading to so many movies it's a tad annoying. I guess it's because the humor is the same always.

>>80427731
>>80427689
idk i prefer the old school quips but do you guys find it annoying that it's in every marvel movie? And it's boring because i expect it by now.

>>80429132
The comedy just has no replay value. Once you've heard it, it just gets annoying rewatching it.

>>80429206
Yeah same. Quips back in earlier movies like Lethal Weapon worked so well. Now they feel stupid.

How come?

>>80429132
The trailer for Spidey Homecoming was disasterous with the quipping.

Say what you will about the ASM movies but they knew when to shut off quipping compared to Marvel that even quips when a character dies

>>80421064

desu I thought Cole's death was supposed to show the monster is smarter and more dangerous since it realizes he's trying to trick it and kills him instantly.

The only problem is that the scene goes straight from the whole sacrificial and triumphant moment to immediate splat too fast imo.

What's the real /tv/ analysis of this flick? I'm debating wether I should see this or the great wall

>>80429360
See Kong because it will prob be more memorable with a couple good horror scenes and some blood.

Its average but prob better average

>>80429254
Because for me it just doesn't feel natural anymore like before.

>>80429298
I love spider man, but i'm hesitant to watch that one.

>>80429254
most quips are based on the current political/social climate when the movies were made, and many movies try to be topical, which wows audiences because it makes the movie seem fresh at the time of release, but makes it seem dated decades later.

>>80421064
this
he has a grenade launcher and a bandolier full of shots but doesnt try to blow up the skullbro at all.

probably wouldn't have done anything bc every monster was a bullet sponge.

>>80414076
Maybe there's oil on the island that they have refined into jet fuel and fuel for other purposes like heating or weapons?

>>80424254
i laughed in the theater at this and was the only one, like come on was she serious? coulda scrapped that scene

Batman v Superman went over your head too, didn't it?

>>80424254
it's partly a nod to how she'll be Captain Marvel in the future. it will seem more amusing a few years from now after the movies with her as a superhero come out.

>>80428846
Because up until recently that's what blockbuster shlock called for in every movie to attract multiple demographics

such a good ending for such a good character

you are wrong.

>>80426132
The original King Kong had a budget double the cost of the average major movie of it's time.

It came out at a time where many adults would regularly go see movies that were frivolous musicals.

>>80428902
Yeah, that scene was so absurd that I'm willing to say that it was intended to be semi-comedic

>>80428902
>>80431643
>Hiddleston's gas katana sequence

Cinematographer was the guy who usually works with Zach Snyder.

It was a 300 homage

>>80430899
>eating a hotdog and having a beer with his old family
no he was just sitting by himself, sad as fuck

Just got home from seeing it, it was pretty good. Would have been a lot better had I known there was a post-credits scene since I enjoyed Godzilla quite a bit as well and would have loved to hear it's cry at the end.

But like always I never know if there's post credit scenes because I forget to look up if there is one before heading out.

I'm glad the bandana kid survived. WW2 era guy was great, film had a lot of neat scenic shots.

It's a good giant monster film, I like how the tone was different then Godzilla but still managed to portray Kong as a beast.

>mfw thinking during the movie that Kong VS Jackson was literally monkey VS monkey
4chan has ruined me.

Can't wait for the next giant monster movie to come out.

Shouldve been a Cast Away movie instead of Apocalypsr Now with Reilly and the japanese guy then they sent a signal from their radio for the rescue
Flash forward sam arriving and having nam flash backs on Kong

>>80431249
>A video game director liked it so now I have to like it
Can any of you guys form your own opinions?

Kinda off topic, but that Dunkirk clip that played before the movie had me hooked.

I was actually really disappointed when it cut out and Kong started playing.

That few minutes of Dunkirk gripped me more then the entirety of Kong did.

More like pure shitkino. and by shitkino I mean it was a bad movie.

the post credit scenes were cave drawings of GUESS WHOO

>>80425734
Underrated

>>80432796
>ApeShit
>shitkino
these are apt labels for Kong: Shit Island

I love giant monster movies. What else is good? Already seen Cloverfield, King Kong (2005), Godzilla 2014 + 1998, and The Host.

>>80433205
The 90's Gamera trilogy is great. The last one being pure kino.

>>80416194
Not at all. They got the rights of Kong to do this. That's why monarch existed in the Godzilla movie.

Where do you get your kaiju movies? I can't seem to find torrents on open trackers with files above 600mb, I was hoping for something above 4gb at least. Stuff like mothra or ghidorah's or even gamera are impossible to find.

>>80434048
Just looked on PirateBay for Gamera. There were a few files, but none of them had any seeders.

>>80433874
How did he get the job to direct Kong as his first feature? The movie is total dogshit.

>>80433205
Shin Godzilla
Gamera trilogy
Godzilla Final Wars
GMK
Ghidorah
Godzilla vs Mothra
Heisei Godzilla movies

>>80434250
yeah, I've searched in a ton of them, nothing with seeders above 600mb

>>80434322
Do you have any info on where to dl those? I'm >>80434048

>>80434317
indie director with a previously successful movie or two are now usually chosen as new blood to be directors for blockbusters, ex. Colin Trevorrow with Jurassic World, Marc Webb and Jon Watts with Amazing Spiderman / Spiderman Homecoming, Vogt Roberts with Kang, Taika Watiti with Thor 3 and so on and so on.

Vogt Roberts also happens to be a total sjw and Imam impersonator, plus his last movie was a garbage teen dramedy about kids living in the forest, so they figured he could do the same with goofy 2 dimensional characters in a jungle for a kang blockbuster made for 12 year olds.

>>80434633
You cared? We didn't even see any flashbacks with him when they were friends.

Proof /tv/ doesn't know what a good movie is.

>>80435146

I'm sad because we didn't see any of it though.

Not really sure why they killed him off desu.
