GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS - Legendary Pictures' Godzilla 2

[Wor-Gar]

I understood that reference.

Fun movie! I thought the pacing was a bit uneven and a lot of it was outright silly (subs outrunning nuclear blasts, etc.) but it seemed that anytime I there was a lull something so insanely cool would happen that it'd put a huge old grin on my face all over again.

I have to say I enjoyed it and my kids did too. I absolutely loved all four of the main monsters and they really took me back to when I first saw them as a kid.

I don't feel the usual "Khev passion" in this review.

 

[Khev]

Ha, I suppose not. But it was a fun enough two hours and I'm glad to gave caught it in a premium auditorium before Dark Phoenix and Secret Life of Pets knock it to the smaller screens this Friday.

The new Terminator trailer felt even sillier on the big screen.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I really want to experience this on a big screen... but I'm just not sure I can get to it before it disappears like you say. I may be doomed to seeing it for the first time on the small screen.

What was the best part?

 

[Khev]

I might have liked Rodan's awakening the best. He's really the only baddie who took out civilians. Then the subsequent air battle/chase with the fighters was great.

It did have a pretty satisfying battle royale at the end too.

The movie as a whole is very "one note" but like John Wick the one note it hits it hits very well.

Do you think the four monsters stand a chance against a well rested angry John Wick?

 

[Khev]

Yeah those would be pretty even odds, lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

He's really the only baddie who took out civilians.

Well, since the only other baddie is Ghidorah, then that means Ghidorah doesn't kill any civilians? What does he do, step around them?

Spoiler

Ghidorah only fights the military and Godzilla in Antarctica and evacuated cities. As for Rodan and Ghidorah being the only baddies, the movie might have a slight surprise or two in store...

It's a WB film after all.

I don't count the horrible MOTU or other "The Mist" goons.

 

[Khev]

Very well, lol.

I feel like one of the most under appreciated moments of this movie is that they somehow managed to work in Mothra twins. What a film.

Totally. I loved all the callbacks to vintage lore. There's probably a lot that I missed too. I did feel kind of giddy hearing them refer to Ghidorah as Monster Zero and am glad they kept him an alien.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why is he called Monster Zero?

Are there really the Twins in this? Oh jeezus...


Maaaaa---tuuuuuu--rahhhhhhh!


Jye was lying, wasn't he -- the monsters really do talk in this.

 

[Khev]

Yep, they sing and dance too.

And I don’t remember if they explicitly mention why it’s called Monster zero. But it’s the code name before they find the Ghidorah name later.

I supposed the two options are it’s maybe the first titan they found? Or because it’s located in the Arctic, frozen, subzero temperatures etc...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Ghidorah the Space Monster is found on ice... on Earth?

This movie gets worse with every post.

Ghidorah “fell from the stars” in ancient times that’s when he started his rivalry with Godzilla. There’s a substantial exposition scene that goes into it more. They go on to explain how the titans are part of the natural balance...but Ghidorah is not because he’s not from earth.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Exposition is in this movie too!? That's the most dangerous monster of all.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

That Ghidorah seems like a real jerk.
