"Godzilla vs. Kong" Comment: Let us fight him
What Is the Story About?
Godzilla vs. Kong offers exactly the promise of the title. This movie is based on Warner Bros. and the legendary "Monster Universe" Kaiju movie, which started in 2014 with Godzilla and 2017 in Kong: Skull Island, pits two huge monsters against each other since 1962. Japan made King Kong The first time for Godzilla. This one-off battle has preserved enough Godzilla-sized footprints in popular culture, and no matter how many other creatures the Japanese lizards stand on level, this pairing seems inevitable because it is unlikely.
Of course, 49 years may be enough for these two icons to calm down in their respective corners. Therefore, for this protracted rematch, the timing couldn't be more appropriate. Just as Adam Wingard directed the screenplay from Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, Godzilla not only smashed the innocent bones of the hole, but built the title of the promise of smashing, it also brought together many threads to lay three A monster universe chapter so far.
Does this mean that Godzilla is particularly deep or introspective about the hole? Haha need it? nor. Avoid the ironic edge of Skull Island or Godzilla's slow burning method in 2014. This is a Saturday afternoon alma mater, full of elaborate effects. It makes it all better to embrace this wholeheartedly.
The story broadly starts from where Godzilla: The King of Monsters left behind at the end of 2019. Giant Titans flood the world, and Godzilla is the best among the top bananas. Life goes on, the monsters almost put people aside. But when Big G attacked a facility operated by the shady company Apex Networks, this fragile easing was shattered.
At the same time, Kong-now much larger than the "puberty" of Skull Island he set in the 1970s-is being transported to a place large enough for him to live: a hollow earth, a complete underground primitive ecology system. Kong must get there before his presence at sea can attract attention to certain other Alpha creatures who might wish to knock him down. Oops, it's too late.
Then why did Godzilla fight with Kong? The various developments that lead to it are best discovered by yourself, but fight them to do so. Maybe the smartest thing about Godzilla vs. Kong is not to delay the game a few times. Yes, there is a rough endeavor to hang together the narrative in a ground-based way, and it feels like a natural progression, but there is no way to get, the action of the hot monster on the monster, everyone has appeared.
The bigger challenge-given their respective large fan bases-is to ensure that each champion monster gets their moment of shining, while also making their games enough for us to participate. There is no denying that this is a tricky balance, but Wengard manages it very well.
The night before, I watched "Godzilla vs. Hole" alone in the dim living room. This is far from ideal, but it does make me miss a special happiness that I haven't had in 13 months. There are many reasons why I miss going to the cinema, but one of the things I didn't really consider is that watching a bad movie on the big screen is particularly pleasant.
I am not saying "bad" in a bad way. This is a description, not a judgment. "Godzilla and Hole" directed by Adam Wingard is the fourth episode of this series called "Monster World", designed by the B film DNA fossil. Therefore, it brings together impressive human actors, running around, explaining fake science, and reminding people to pay attention to what is happening before their eyes. "Did the monkey speak just now? He did it, kind of, but this is not what anyone sees here. We spend money to watch him fight with lizards.
Well, I don't have one, but if things are different, I might have. Not necessarily part of the monthly HBO Max subscription fee, please note. (Last weekend, this movie made $123 million in overseas theaters. The spectacle of the veritable giant going to Manomano is destined to witness in front of the restless members of your own species whose behavior arouses you to moan in absurdity Part of the second-hand jokes and cheers when laughing too hard, the simulated fist is connected with Soria's chin.
If there is no such company, you can at least appreciate what "Godzilla vs. Kong" is-an action movie with extravagant grandeur, zero pretentiousness, not too much originality. The direction of the opening sequence gesture was paid in installments in the previous Monster World ("Godzilla", "Kong: Skull Island" and "Monster King of Godzilla"), and also used the energy drink rhythm of the playoff sports broadcast . Myths and legends are cited along with genetics and geophysics, but scaffolding is a related discipline of knowledge.
The main aesthetic achievements are Kajju and apes. They fought on the sea and on the streets of Hong Kong, and their bodies were rendered in loving and absurd details. Kong's size seems to fluctuate a bit, as if he is a boxer hovering between heavyweights. However, his nails are beautiful, his teeth are straight, and his fur is impressively dressed.
This film created by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein may be slightly biased towards Kong. He has a sweet friendship with a young girl named Jia (Kaylee Hottle), and her guardian is the sensitive scientist Irene Andrews played by Rebecca Hall. Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgard) is not very sensitive. His involvement with Walter Simmons (Demián Bichir) is morally compromised. The latter is a corporate tycoon, he Wearing a brocade smoking jacket and brandishing a glass of Scotch whisky, he elaborated on technical ambitions.
You know the type. You may also know the anachronistic genres who took the side of Godzilla's story: The Paranoid Podcast (Brian Terry Henry); The Neurotic Book (Julian Dennison): Independent Thinking Maiden (Milli · Bobby Brown). Brown played Kyle Chandler in "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", and she once again played her father, an anxious bureaucrat. That movie and other early MonsterVerse pictures are more interested in people than this movie. It reduces motivation and relationships to visual shorthand and indifferent jokes.
As I suggested, poetry lives with beasts. Kong, as a passionate creature, is two more passionate and moody. He also learned to communicate with humans and use tools, or at least the glowing axe he found in caves deep on the surface. (The earth is hollow, if you don't know it. Godzilla is simpler, but also more mysterious-a short-minded killer whose scaly face records almost philosophical boredom and instinctive belligerence.
Which one would you bet on? I won't destroy anything despite the light blue death ray shot from Godzilla's mouth. This is an old-fashioned Donnybrook, a quarrel, and it feels more physical than digital. Kong has broad shoulders and the ability to make fists, but Godzilla has claws, a low center of gravity, and a sledgehammer tail.
It's not beautiful, and it doesn't make much sense, but "Godzilla vs. Kong" turns its limitations into virtues, turning stupidity into its own ingenuity. The original "Godjila" is an allegory of human recklessness, just like the ancient "King Kong" is a tragedy catalyzed by human cruelty. They are popular fables, and this sleek spectacle does not aspire to be far away. But at least it respects the nobleman of the barbarian on the screen, because it caters to the appetite of the barbarian on the sofa.
