Godzilla vs Kong

article image placeholder'Godzilla vs. Kong' could be the biggest hit of the pandemic
And this is just something that the both of us, my dad included, have been sort of counting down the days for so much so that when I brought it up to my dad tonight, who's a bit older and doesn't really follow all of the release dates and whatnot he pretty much screamed in excitement. So I'm going to update you as I finish the film and hopefully we can talk about it. I'm expecting nonstop fun from start to finish it's

Alright. So this is a film that I think I need to sleep on. I'll be sure to update you all as I sort of flush out my thoughts and feelings a bit more. I'm a little conflicted after watching the film, but I'll leave it at that for now

SPOILERS!

So I'll start by saying that I think this movie did a lot of things really well, particularly the world building. I thought that there were some incredibly smart choices. They really made Kong feel like this King. They did. And the Hollow Earth Theory element of this film was something that I was really not expecting in the sense that I felt like it was a very ambitious move, and they pulled it off really well

Too many characters

In this case, the entire subplot with Millie, Bobby Brown and Brian Tyree Henry's characters and the kid from Deadpool Two whose name I'm not remembering right now it was horrendously forced. And I think every single aspect of it could have probably been accomplished by Alexander Scarsgard's character and the young girl. That is one of the last I think Iwi people that is using sign language to communicate with Kong, and it served no purpose

Major spoilers!

I would recommend for fans of either King Kong or Godzilla. It's a solid ride, but I'm going to be watching the other ones much more frequently. I think
