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

[Ven]

Definitely loved this movie. It was just a bunch of crazyness and over the top fun.

Spoiler

one of my favorites scenes that turned me into a 8 year old was seeing godzilla reawaken afterthat nuke powerup... the music was insane! and the imagery was spectacular.

edit - in case it spoiled anything.

The night setting wasn't enough, they had to throw in a storm? Sounds like a mess. That's one thing I liked about the last King Kong movie, you could see everything clearly. Day fights look better.

I saw this today. As one who saw most of the movies on the big screen as a kid, I enjoyed it for what it was.....a Godzilla film. If it had had a stellar script with great execution, I would certainly have enjoyed it more, but such is life.

From the very beginning, I bemoaned this taking place at night, under water, in snowstorms, rainstorms, tornadoes, explosions and through smoke and debris. Some said it provided atmosphere......apocalyptic atmosphere even. Screw that. I'm tired of going down that avenue. Was it just me, or did they even suggest that the storm somehow followed Ghidorah, or that he was the cause of it, or controlled it somehow so that he was always shrouded?

I said that I had been waiting for this movie my whole life. What I meant to say was GvK, or the next one, if there is a next one, or whichever one they choose to do right. Since Kong was done in daylight, I'm hoping GvK will follow suit.

Are the monster fights in the dark again? One of the reasons I hated the last film was because I couldn't see a damn thing.

They aren't nearly as dark as the scenes from that episode of Game of Thrones, anyone who thinks it's that hard to see is already blind.

I read the same thing. Looks like Kong vs. Godzilla may not happen after all.

Or any other monsterverse film for that matter too.

Godzilla Vs. Kong is happening no matter what, they've already been filming it. The thing is though if GvK doesn't make money or loses money then they won't do any more after that. I don't think they've renewed their contract with Toho beyond the currently planned films.

Anyone going to KOTM for Shakespearian dialogue is bound to be disappointed.

Glad to see those I trust on this forum enjoyed it.

Cause it seems this film is the newest thing to crap on.

Does that monkey even stand a chance against Godzilla? How does he block the atomic breath?

You don’t have to block, just dodge, Ghidorah does it.

 

[xipotec]

Ill have to wait till Friday for this.....

But overall, I tend to like films that RT audience scores are higher than critics.....

I like them more when the majority or average joes hate them....

I remember Fight Club getting panned by critiques....many years later, its a classic...

I liked that KG was

an alien being that could manipulate weather as a metaphor for being a force of nature like Godzilla

True it wasn’t G14 dark not even close. But i’m open for daylight battles lol

Yeah already filmed but I bet the VFX budget is being lowered as we speak lol

He has zero chance the whole idea is just dumb lol

Godzilla is such an unstoppable force in this.

I think they’re giving us Mecha Kong just to give the dumb monkey a slight chance lol

I know in Skull Island that it is said that Kong is not full grown but what is the actual size difference between a full grown Kong and Godzilla. Godzilla seems 100 times bigger then King.

That's good to know! At least we'll see one more!

This! This is what Godzilla vs Kong should be. It’s a stupid concept for a movie.

I had no issues seeing the action on screen.

Its messy though with all the elements.

Have they delivered the BO yet?

 

[darthviper107]

What they've reported so far is about $50 million domestic, $130 million international, so $180 million total, which is lower than projections, they were originally looking at 200-230 total. It needs to make $340 million - $400 million worldwide to break even. If it follows the percentages of Godzilla 2014 it'll do OK, but it depends on how much more it can make overseas.

 

[Wor-Gar]

If it makes half again next week, it won't make the minimal $340 you spoke of to break even and will be a loss.
