Godzilla x Kong - the New Empire (2024)

Better than I thought it was going to be from the trailers, visually this was better than some of the previous as they decided to go almost full day mode so you can see everything.

Around half way through the film you can work out how it's going to end but it's a decent popcorn flick.

Dan Stevens looked to be having fun, first role I've seen him in since Legion.

As always, money talks and BS walks and this thing has made a massive $195m worldwide in just a week from the global audiences so I'd suggest that the critics, as per usual it seems, just aren't looking for the same things that the audience is, making their worth seem lesser to me.

Is everyone expecting shawshank redemption :cry:
 
It's a popcorn flick where giant monsters beat each other up. :cry:

I'm honestly not sure what people are expecting, it's switch your brain off and enjoy the ride for a couple of hours material. You don't go into something like this expecting Citizen Kane, I bet many of the same critics gave a lot of the recent Marvel films high scores and they've largely been ass even from a popcorn material perspective.

I guess my point is, why do they have to be brainless popcorn faire?

Why can't they be fun popcorn movies and still have a decent plot?

I would suggest asking "Hollywood" why they can't do that, because I'd love them to make things like that yet they seemingly point-blank refuse to for a reason I can't fathom.
 
This is on streaming already. Literally 6 weeks since it's cinema release, even for a film like this that made over 500 million at the box office.

I'm still glad I saw it on the big screen, but this still seems very soon. Maybe it's just Warner Bros films.

Fast & Furious squad should have turned up
If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don't you?



8/10 :p

Probably got paid a good chunk for it. When I see Netflix spending almost $200m on that Rebel Moon garbage, I can imagine platforms are throwing a couple million for streaming rights.

Does seem like a short cycle but it might have been contracted like this in advance.
