I finally had a chance to see GODZILLA VS KONG.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Let’s be honest, we’re all there to see the giant monkey fight the radiation dinosaur.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
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.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
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?”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
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.<\/span><\/div>\n
