Legendary/WB Godzilla X Kong 2024 Review Part 2

The World Of The Angry Red ApeSo. Apparently Monarch’s base in the Hollow Earth was destroyed by… Angry Red Ape. Why was he snooping around Kong’s domain? Probably sensed him… But he wasn’t there. So Red Ape destroyed the facility and killed random people off camera. Kong? He’s topside, getting his tooth pulled and replaced by our quirky genius who dresses like… Ace Ventura. Was he dressed like…

Godzilla Minus One Movie Review

Dynamic Universe review of Godzilla Minus One

The dinosaur-turned-monster is back and in rare form! Let’s see, where am I at with Godzilla– in 2023? My favorite is the 1968 Destroy All Monsters (directed by Ishirô Honda and Jun Fukuda and written by Ishirô Honda and Takeshi Kimura), probably because of the Rocketship (Moonlight SY-3) and futuristic bend. I also love every movie based on Mechagodzilla. After a while, the entire franchise…

So anyway, about the critics and the audience score...

[askmovieslate]

The doors are shut, there's no way you can escape.

So, ok.

Point number one: You can't take Godzilla down using missiles, in no way, shape or form can he be defeated with just missiles. It's moronic and idiotic.

Point number two: Do you have any idea how idiotic it is to have so many helicopters fly around Manhattan? The buffeting and centrifuge forces alone will cause most of those helicopters to crash onto each other.

Point number three: The characters are deeply annoying and unlikeable. At least give me someone to root for that's not Godzilla.

Point number four:-

Jamesy: No. Nope. Stop that.

Movie: Wait, what? Why!?

Jamesy: This isn't YouTube, Movie. You can't make a three hour long rant disguised an an essay just because you feel like it.

Movie: Did you know Roland Emmerich wants to remake Stargate?

Jamesy:...go on, I'll give you a hand with the editing.

Movie: Thank you. Point number four...

HOLY FUCK. What a movie. Just what a movie. Holy fuck

(Or, it was incredible. Absolutely blew my socks off. Please go and see it. You do not need to have watched anything else in the franchise, it's completely standalone (though it very much retains much of the symbolism of the original and other films). Especially go see it if you like kaiju films. But it was such a good film about humanity and hope. Just incredible. Go and see it.)

Just watched this gem of a movies

What did yall think?

[visio20]

Godzilla: Minus One is a genuine masterpiece. Please go see it. It's getting a wide release in the US which is out of the norm so that's great.

They found a solution to the lame human plot that's in every Godzilla movie. You simply need it to be super well written.

Godzilla and the human plot aren't completely separate or awkwardly jammed together. They found a way to elegantly weave him into the external and internal motivation of the characters. Godzilla really embodies more than just the giant lizard this time. The giant lizard destroying Japan stuff is S tier though, don't worry.

Please do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

Godzilla Minus One Review:

You can tell by the amount of emotional storytelling and having us feel through the pain of Koichi Shikishima as he balances the struggle of defending his country and saving his life; that director Takashi Yamazaki has taken notes from his famed inspiration of the Star Wars franchise and truly made possibly one of the best Godzilla films in franchise history. This science fiction masterpiece clocks in at over 2 hours and every second of it was spent on the edge of my seat.

Kamikaze pilots became an addition for the Japanese military during the closing moments of the war in the Pacific. One thing that the film highlights is the beginning stigma of kamikaze pilots who decided to live either by choice or due to their planes mechanical failures. That is the historical context set up we get in the beginning elements of the movie as Koichi decides to land his plane on Odo Island despite his plane not suffering from any mechanical damage. We also see the first instances of Godzilla as the monster attacks and kills the majority of the mechanical workers on Odo Island sparing Koichi himself and Sosaku Tachibana.

Godzilla’s ruthlessness was felt throughout the entire film from the moment the monster attacked the crew on Odo Island to his absolute destruction of the Ginza neighborhood in Tokyo which was undergoing rapid development. The scene where Noriko hangs from the train pole for dear life as Godzilla rips the train in half was just wild.

One thing i really enjoyed about this film is the character development of Koichi. In the beginning of the movie, he decides not to fulfill his kamikaze duties but after realizing the immense sacrifices that many Japanese people (not only pilots) have endured during the war and the Godzilla attacks, he dedicates his life to his “impromptu family” and realizes that he is willing to sacrifice himself to create a “better world” for his “daughter” Akiko. Tachibana immediately sees that Koichi understands the immense toll that war has, how kamikaze pilots never had that choice to live and creates an eject mechanism so that Koichi can have that choice to live. You can see his facial expressions throughout the film start from being in fear to being determined to save Japan.

I also love that they gave Shiro Mizushima a moment of shine as he coordinates backup for Kenji Noda’s plan to sink Godzilla into the ocean floor. The theater was clapping! The movie was paced extremely well and used every part of its 2 hour runtime to tell its story. Did not feel like there were any fillers or unnecessary scenes. The ending also really does leave the viewers thinking about the many different ways and theories that the film may continue through a possible sequel. I know not all films need a sequel but Please give us a sequel!!

There are so many parts to this film that I can go into detail about that make this one of my favorite Godzilla films. This film only had a $15 million dollar budget and yet superseded many action movies made this year in the United States including the comic book movies in DC/Marvel well known for their $200 million dollar plus budgets. Studios should take note.

I highly recommend this film especially for those who may not be familiar with the Godzilla story who would like an introduction into the kaiju portrayal of monsters in Japanese films.

Godzilla: Minus One was absolutely great. The story is phenomenal, the effects are great, the realities and effects of war and PTSD, the similarities between honor and guilt, and several wonderful plot twists, certainly reminds me of a lot of the classic Godzilla films. Much better than the Monsterverse films (but Monarch so far is great!).

Highly recommend seeing it on the biggest screen you can. This might be the greatest Godzilla movie ever made.

my mom who says she hates horror and violence in movies made me watch movies like from dusk till dawn, seven, pulp fiction and saw when i was a child and now she wonders why i love horror and violence in movies as an adult like……. ok.

[askmovieslate]

Other Godzilla movies I quite enjoy:

Godzilla GMK.

Godzilla VS Megalon.

Godzilla (2014, the Gareth Edwards one).

Godzilla VS Biollante.

Godzilla VS Kong (2021).

Overall, it's easy to be a Godzilla fan, there's such a wide variety of movies with different tones and approaches, it's kind of impossible to have a wrong choice.

I still like procedural dramas a lot, which is why Shin Gojira just pinches it at number one.

Second time watching Furiosa today, and I think I liked it even better than the first watch through!

I honestly have no idea how it stands as a solo movie for folks who haven't watched Mad Max: Fury Road, but for folks who DID watch MMFR and loved it (me), it's an awesome prequel that does not compete with, but rather uplifts and enriches the world and story of MMFR.

It's got the same kind of explosive action, fun post-apocalyptic innovation, and the overall tone of MMFR, while going into world-building details that MMFR didn't have time to explore. Acting was incredible throughout, and really loved the new characters!

Both times I've watched it, it's left me desperately wishing it was a double feature with MMFR right afterwards. I wanna see MMFR in theaters again ;_;
