Radioactive fire. But yeah, there's some fuckery afoot, either something powering up (and increasing the size of) Kong or weakening Godzilla.
Currently watching this on HBOmax.... and I kind of checked out with this scene (even though I'm still enjoying it and it's going by faster than I expected).
Ok... I enjoyed it, a lot more than I thought I would. It was campy, but not too campy, and pretty much not stop action with just a few parts that slowed down, but didn't slow down the movie. More like a breather and back to the action. My WTF thoughts, and the final battlethoughts.
Okay, saw it in a theater (first time in some 18 months) on opening night, and i had only read one review which said (not unpredicatably) that the battles were great fun but the human bits almost ruined it. (gosh where have I heard THAT line before) My conclusion? 1. I disagree entirely with the reviewers claim, this seemed to me as good a balance between human plot threads and kaiju doing stuff as I've ever seen with the possible exception of Skull island. 2. you can quibble somewhat with what they DO with the people (poor Kyle McCloughlin had zero to do and maybe 3 or 4 minutes of screen time, if you're a fan of lance Riddick you better not blink bitch. Butthat's a different complaint. 3. there were some dumb bits, particularly that they jump directly from "we need to move Kong" to Kong-in-chains-on-a-barge. HOW? He just said "fuck it, whatever" when a key plot point is that he doesn't trust humans? It's like the writers couldn't figure how to do that without an attack on Kong which would justify the mistrust so they just said "fuck it, moving on" 4. I don't really care about dumb, I assume that going in. That being the case, i thought it was the best Kaiju movie I've ever seen, and my youngest who is an intense Godzilla conisuer (no, neither I nor spell check can spell that word) thought so too. If your goal is to be really impressed by the action visuals - you will be. 5. They made some fucking weird choices with the soundtrack.
I saw "GODZILLA vs KONG" in the theater 3 weeks ago yesterday. It's not a bad movie, was pretty exciting & cool. Though there is one thing in the movie they shamelessly got DIRECTLY from Jules Verne.
‘Godzilla vs. Kong 2’: Dan Stevens Reunites With ‘The Guest’ Director Adam Wingard On Legendary Sequel
Just watched this preview and am waiting for the Incel backlash consideroing Godzilla has gone woke trans. Yes, godzilla went from blue to pink which means HRT and SRS for G which now must stand for Girlzilla. Woke godzilla!
So I saw the first gozilla vs kong finally. Why did I feel like someone thought it would be a really cool idea to have the two of them fight john wick style in a flashy nightclub so they sasid let us use hong kong and we can make it like a rave. Then someone thought wouldn't it be cool if we had some human in a big old rave head piloting mechagodzilla? This whole fucking thing could be LED lighted and we could have three of these fuckers doing kung fu in the middle of hong kong because that would be cool. But what doi they do for the other hour or so until we get there? Oh, how about we have to bring thwem there, and there will be boats and then we will go to hollow earth so kong can get his blue LED rave ax. Sure, why the fuck wouldn't kong have a home in the middle of the earth where he keeps his glowy rave ax? Why the fuck has no one from the glow company thought of marketing a king kong glow rave axe to go with this shit? You put all the cool LED colors in this shit, and I want some LED merch with the cool pink and blue flashy colors so I can smoke pot, do some DXM or Molly, put on some techno and play battle with my cool fucking toys at fifty fucking years old. I might have saved some of the hundreds of dollars I plugged into the fucking Rampage video game so I could buy this merch now.
