UK Trailer

Apparently red monke is a real asshole

Saw the trailer for this. I don't have high hopes.

Why are Godzilla’s spikes red?

And how did ancient humans get into the Hollow Earth?

If there is no appearance by Megalon in this movie I will be a bit disappointed.

This is what movies are now. CGI monsters fighting. Just awful.

You came into a Godzilla/Kong thread to complain about CGI monsters fighting? Like, for real?

LMAO

I mean, I think thats pretty clear.

It's just not the same as watching awkward Asian actors in foam suits destroying tiny model cities...

I miss the dub over English and not matching their mouth. Good times.

If you are over the age of 22 you should not be watching fantasy, superhero or monster movies. Be an adult.

If you like you can come over to my house and bitch with my wife when I go. Swap beauty secrets or something...

So im 38 and preparing a D&D game for next Friday. Can you come in halfway through with a beer in one hand wearing a wife beater and mumbling something about "when men were men?"

Name the time buddy

Hold on. D&D? Your ****ing bullshitting me now aren't you? Grown men don't play Dungeons and Dragons. No way.

joe manganiello would like to have a word with ya about that.

Then shut up and get out of the thread…

LMAO That's literally all BWillie has. I've seen him pop in and be a condescending pillowbiter in a bunch of other threads in the media subforum.

I care about you all so much I don't want your adult brains turning into a pubescent mush. Forgive me for my benevolence. I wish you well.

Just saw Godzilla Minus One at the theater. Was a great movie, much better than these Hollywood productions.

Set at the end and immediately after WWII in Japan following a disgraced kamikaze pilot and his efforts to overcome the effects of war.

A very good friend said it’s likely the best Godzilla movie he’s ever seen, and one of the best movies overall in the past few years.

OK. What movies do I need to watch to catch up here. Starts with Sam Jackson's KONG right?

My family all loved it. I did get a bit tired of reading the captions after a while though.

This is the Lionsgate Monsterverse Franchise which chronologically goes Kong,Godzilla, Godzilla KoTM, and Godzilla vs Kong.

Godzilla Minus One is a standalone which is from Toho Pictures.

Just saw Minus One. Holy crap what a good movie. Even the wife enjoyed it.

Awesome. Just bought some new Klipsch speakers for the living room too.

Let's ride!

I wanted to go see that before it left theaters.

I just finished monarch on apple +. Really enjoyed it

You can still get that on Netflix with any of their international stuff.

Most of it is on youtube...

I can echo others' sentiments in this thread about Godzilla Minus One....it ****ing rules.

Easily my favorite movie of 2023 and I'd have to say right now, my favorite Godzilla movie ever.

Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color (black & white) will be in US theaters from Jan 26-Feb 1

Hopefully it'll be near me somewhere, I'd love to see it again in B&W. And it looks like it's not just gone from color to B&W they did some remastering to get it to have the right 'look';

"Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut-by-cut," Yamakazi said in a statement last month. "I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes as if they were creating a new movie. What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography. We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating color, a new sense of reality emerges."

Well darn, looks like the B&W version will have a much more limited release, the closest theater to me showing it is 57 miles!

Towards the bottom "Get your Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color tickets now" be sure to change it from 'All' to 'Minus Color' and a date bewtween 1/26-2/1 to see where it shows up for you

Minus One was ****ing awesome!

New trailer dropped.

Wonder what’s freezing the water from the clouds in Rio..

Who has the glowing eyes in dark? Are we seeing the intro of Gigan and Megalon into the Monster-Verse?

You can see both antagonists clearly about 30 seconds in. One is obviously Skar King. One controlling the ice is

Yeah, I actually stumbled upon a leak so I basically know the whole movie already lol

Still wondering what was freezing the water in Rio.

Looks like you're right.

Just saw this. It's what you expect it to be. Maybe even a bit more dumb and convoluted by Monsterverse standards.

Just saw it, my 2 cents...

What I Liked -
The monster designs were excellent.
One of my major gripes with the Monsterverse movies was all the fights were either at night, in a driving thunderstorm or both, these fights were in the daylight and we'll done.
There were scenes that would be perfect for either IMAX or 3D.

What I Disliked -
The music, they tried to do a 'Gaurdians of The Galaxy' soundtrack and failed miserablely.
The human characters were wooden caricatures, none of the returning characters showed any sort of growth, just the same character from the last Godzilla movie.

What Made Me Cringe -
The script, dear God the script. As I stated above the human characters were wooden but the script did them no favors.
There were parts where the exposition was grade school level writing and the actors put no effort in making the script any better.
Way too many plot armor moments in the movie, I won't spoil them here but if you see the movie, you'll know what I am talking about.

Summary -
As a lifetime Godzilla fan I did enjoy the movie. The monster parts are excellent. Presenting Kong as more human like and Godzilla as more animalistic is a great dichotomy between these characters. It's a good popcorn movie, fun and enjoyable but could have been better with a little more effort.

Huh? He started to trust Kong after he fed him and was completely on his side after Skar King spartan kicked the other monke into the magma.

Why not add another monster?

Kong vs Godzilla vs TRex vs The Blob vs The Fly vs Lochness Monster

Let's keep going! Smart movie making!

This is straght 60's Godzilla with the WWF team up battles. it starts off like Goonies meets 80's Sci-Fi with a Disney princess - ends up Godzilla VS. Megalon.

I assumed they were going for a "My Science Project" type of trope-a-rama. They had them all in there. They only thing that was missing was a miracle happening due to "the power of love."

80's side kick science guy, goofy conspiracy guy, Disney princess, natives that they don't even let talk that use telepathy. And music from every 80's cheese movie you can think of. I think there was even a Flash Gordon song in there. I know what he was trying to do I just don't think they pulled it off as well as they think they did.

My impression was they leaned into the meme. They cheese'd and crazie'd it up on purpose. The stuff with the Nintendo Power glove convinced me.

This movie sucked so bad.
