- Motto: "Individual freedom above all else."
So today I went to see Godzilla vs. Kong.
it was fun! Definitely the best of the new Godzilla movies, and a fluid sequel to the last one. The story was alright, a bit thin. But this movie shouldn't be seen for the story, not mainly anyway. This movie should be seen for the action. In the 2 hour run time, there are 3 fights. The 1st 2 are between the title characters, Godzilla winning the 1st round because it's in the water. But it takes literally everything the humans have to throw at him to save Kong. Then the story goes into exposition mode for a while, and afterwards Kong and Zilla meet again, this time in Hong Kong, and since it's on land, Kong fares much better. But in the end, he still loses. However, Godzilla spares him, choosing to let him live in defeat. The last fight happens right after, and it's between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. Being exhausted from the Kong fight, Zilla gets thoroughly trashed, along with the entire city of Hong Kong. But right before Mechagodzilla can finish him, Kong recovers to come to his aid. I won't give details, unless you want them, but the end fight is short but sweet. Kong and Godzilla tear Mechagodzilla apart, and at the end Godzilla even gets a hero's walk as he slowly walks away from Kong and a destroyed city behind him. Kong returns to his home and all seems to be well. I didn't stay to see if there were end credits, so we might get more.
Watching the movie, the special effects were flawless. Whenever Kong and Zilla were on screen, I started thinking I was looking at Beast Megatron and Optimus Primal. It made me think that if this movie could be done, a Beast Wars movie can't be that difficult to pull off.
It was a lot of fun, I definitely recommend it.
