I wouldnt call it amazing, but I wouldnt agree with Japan's take on it being "Mediocre." I enjoyed watching it, and I could stand to watch it again for the people that didnt come with us last night.
Yes, there was a slight bit of tongue in cheek comedy. Usually dropped into some serious dialogue. So its like your asshole friend that always says funny, inappropriate shit at the worst time.
The story is ok.. and yea, it does have some plot holes. Seems like the monsters have been roaming a while already, slowly waking up. Whatever the talk about San Fran disaster was... they just seemed too uninformed for what basically amounts to the death of millions of people.
(Im not a HC fan of GZ series, but based on the movie alone...)

More could have been done on the vortex highway. More could have been done on the ancient lore. The ruins could have been expanded on more. More could have been done with the conversation about using Titan DNA in a company/war machine. Instead of playing radar tag, we could have had some debilitating weapon against Hydra or something? We did have the thing trapped all that time... you didnt learn a f'n thing through all that? what. the. fuck. We could have had less time flying around in the avengers carrier with 50 jets in tow (I would wager a good 10 minutes of the movie is just clips of boats and planes going in a random direction.) IF they already knew that Nukes helped GZ, then why the hell are they just not nuking the shit out of him each fight? Send that MF to super saiyan from the beginning and get this shit over with.
Instead, we have some random highway men kidnapping mother and daughter. Which, my brain was totally going down another path of why they kept the daughter alive. An insurance policy for them to force the awakenings?? But then she goes all rogue and wants to destroy the world and make it anew? The "good guys" are military/paramilitary, know theyre going to a radioactive destination of "Some sort" and dont come prepared? Guy is in an area so radioactive, and so hot (Lava is spewing next to him of all things) that he just doesnt f'n die almost instantly? A combat submarine that is designed for battle, but the "Weapons are broke and cant be fixed, oh noz!!?? Then, we have the girl escaping a highly fortified bumper, stealing an invaluable prototype (like has been said). The mother and father randomly finding each other in f'n BOSTON of all places. The likelihood of that with no communication is laughable at best. Then the mother tries to run off in a different direction for what.. a few more seconds? It bought time for them, but just seemed like a pointless suicide for the most part. I mean, of all the random shit.. they all of a sudden had a house in Boston that was conveniently located near the f'n Titan fight? I mean.. ... c'mon.....

It makes me think that maybe because of Ghidorah doing the "call", it woke up more of those monsters on Kong's island, and because Godzilla is considered the apex predator he shows up to go deal with it and ends up in territorial conflict with Kong. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some SERIOUS deep dweller that's even more wicked then the previous ones that they both fight together as the final boss.

Calling it now
King Ghidorahs severed head will be used to make an imperfect clone. It will easily be defeated early on. Kong and Godzilla fight. Meanwhile the defeated clone degenerates and mutates from exposure to some kind of toxic debris and becomes this universe’s incarnation of Hedorah, the smog monster. I’m the original, Hedorah was another monster Godzilla could not defeat on his own, requiring outside help

Since the went the space angle immediately with Ghidorah (which was great ala Monster 0), what is the chance the bring in Gigan for the next round?
I still don’t get how they are going to make Kong compete with the Toho monsters. Most of them could curb-stop Kong with little trouble in the old 70’s-80’s universe. I’d even pick King Ceaser over Kong

Kong's gonna be hairless very early in the movie when all that hair gets burnt off of him. Particularly now that Godzilla can just radiate heat/radiation as well as breathe it. Hell, Rodan lives in a fucking volcano and is constantly on fire, how you gonna deal with that? Giant oven mitts??
Kong also needs to get a lot more durable, because he bled a lot in Skull Island. None of the monsters in KotM took the same level of damage that Kong did, except when someone like Godzilla was ripping heads off. If Godzilla got a bite on Kong's arm, let's say...he'd rip it right off. Even if they are equal in size.
Seriously though, how does anything live in fucking lava??

Never watched this. Should I get the 4k version that is out today?spronk
for sure, its a fun watch along the lines of any transformers movie or pacific rim. Any time ripoff Sarah Jessica Parker or really any human is on screen feel free to fast forward though, they add absolutely nothing to the movie. Its better than 2014 Godzilla since its closer to 40% godzilla / 60% human, whereas 2014 was 20/80.
i might download and rewatch this weekend

All the parts of this movie with humans are fucking retarded nonsense. Worse than a B movie, no redeeming value.
Luckily, every part with the kaiju is fucking bad ass.If you can tune out the retarded humans and the retarded plot to just watch monsters fight, it's awesome.
