Godzilla vs Kong!
I finally had a chance to see GODZILLA VS KONG.
The movie promised that Godzilla would fight Kong, and it delivered! There was a plot, but it was mostly there to support the monster fight.
Let’s be honest, we’re all there to see the giant monkey fight the radiation dinosaur.
The plot revolved around an evil corporation building MechaGodzilla for reasons of, well, evil. The evil corporation also had terrible security, and was easily infiltrated by two teenagers and a guy with a conspiracy podcast. You’d think that after spending trillions of dollars to build MechaGodzilla, they would invest in better security, but I guess not. Then again, no one asked the obvious question of how building MechaGodzilla would increase shareholder value.
Anyway, since the evil corporation’s evil plan was not well thought out, naturally MechaGodzilla goes berserk, and Kong and Godzilla have to team up to battle the robotic menace.
A couple of times I thought I could see Kong thinking “back in the 1930s I was stop-motion, and now I’m CGI and fighting a radiation dinosaur with a giant crystal axe, what just happened?”
Anyway, this was a thoroughly entertaining monster movie, and you could tell that all the actors were trying really hard. As mentioned above, the plot was a bit thin, but we were there for the monster fight, not the plot, and there was LOTS of monster fighting.
