Movie Review – Godzilla vs. Kong

[No Spoilers]

Thank gawd. It didn’t suck.

Godzilla vs King Kong looked epic in the previews and I’d say it lived up to expectation. Which is a relief because the last movie, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, was pretty awful, especially the plot and acting, and writing, and the monster fight scenes didn’t wow me like the previous two movies in the Monsterverse.

I’m relieved that this movie got back on track. I thought the first two movies, Godzilla 2014, and Kong: Skull Island were much better than expected. They were both all around good movies, plus had great kaiju fight scenes.

The fight scenes in GZvKK are worthy of the hype. The fight choreography was well planned and did a good job of telling a story within the action.

And the best actor award goes to… King Kong

I’m not sure if even the actors in this movie would watch it for the acting. It’s not that kind of movie. For the most part the acting was good enough. But it’s worth noting that if I had to pick the best actor in this movie it would be Kong. No kidding. They did a great job displaying Kong’s emotion. Likewise for Godzilla. Godzilla doesn’t have the range of expressions that Kong does, yet there’s still a few scenes where we can empathize with the big guy and his feelings.

I’m glad you took the time to read my little review, but I’d like to give you fair warning that there are some spoilers for this movie that you’d probably like to run across before you see it. So be careful reading anything until after.

Mild Spoilers Ahead

Now we have to wonder: where do they go from here? Now that the hollow earth is open there’s more room to explore. One thing I noticed is that there were lots of Kong’s axes on the floor of the temple. So maybe there’s some back story there to explore in the next movie.

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Grade: B+

About The Peetimes: I have 3 good Peetimes for this movie that are nicely spaced out. The middle Peetime is the best. It’s very easy to summarize and there are no scenes of Godzilla or Kong in it.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Godzilla vs. Kong. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
