'Godzilla vs. Kong' Likely the Latest Tentpole to Go to a Streamer

Pacific Rim was far better than any of the Godzilla and Kong movies. The Legendary films went the Transformers route and are just dumb beyond belief. The only way to rationalize them is that they’re for the same audience that loved the originals from Toho — kids — and on that level they work I guess but you can make a Godzilla movie that isn’t an exercise in seeing how many different ways buildings can be destroyed. Remaking the original 1954 Godzilla would be amazing but based on the audience reviews for GvK it seems like most are happy with monsters running amok in a movie with zero character development, completely implausible storylines, and whole bunch of stupid on top.

The first one was not like that at all. Godzilla 14 was a very grounded and "realistic" take on Titans and I was hoping they stayed that route. They didn't.

I think had Edwards done a trilogy we would have something very different right now...

Agree with this. The RLM review pretty much nailed it as being stupid and staying out of the way whenever the monsters fight.
