Godzilla vs. Kong
While fun and enjoyable in many parts, Godzilla vs. Kong felt like a missed opportunity to continue and expand on the great streak that Monsterverse movies have been on for awhile. 269
Instead this movie tries to copy the Avengers formula with bombastic action set-pieces and lousy screenwriting that almost made my entire head blow off, it was so ridiculous and unrealistic I was laughing and not for the right reasons. The thing that made Kaiju movies so fun to watch is because the films were enjoyable monster action-adventure movies grounded in a sense reality that made the films seem slightly plausible with a possibility that this could happen in real life, but in this film they've got space lasers and flying cars making nothing seem even remotely possible. Oh, also, WTF, the marketing team were doing some real crazy stuff when they came up with this marketing plan, but saying "one will fall" made me think think that one of the titans would die and it would be a real sad moment, but they couldn't even copy the good part of Endgame and instead went for all of the trash parts. If this movie did anything, it made me want to rewatch Hunt For The Wilderpeople. 269
