He also did "The Guest" which is pretty good, even if it's kind of a slow burn. Neat. Excited for this to come out.

So, anyone placing any bets on the winner? The King Kong in this franchise seems to be more on par with Godzilla than previous versions, so it'll be more of a fair fight.

I'm betting they encounter each other fight one or two times, then team-up against some other, more malevolent kaiju

The final fight where Kong and Godzilla have to team up to face Destroyah and then you hear the music



and who saves them is

Anyways this'll be a good Redbox rental. I'm more excited for an actual Gojira movie, hopefully a sequel to Shin Godzilla.

That wasn't a reboot. Not remotely.

Kong won the first duel way back in the 1960's. He did it before and he can do it again. Godzilla vs. Kong II. PPV will be 59.99$ and the live event ticket price will run about 400$ for backseats and almost 2000 plus for the nosebleeds.

Godzilla vs. Kong II. Don't miss it.

Godzilla didn't get his chest hair lit on fire, so who really won?

Delayed 8 months:

Yeah, I saw that news making the rounds on twitter yesterday. It sucks, but I’m sure it’s for the best. I’d rather them take the extra time to do it right than put out a rushed, sub-par product.

Well... they had 5 whole years between Godzilla 1 and Godzilla 2 and we saw how that went.

I was so bummed to read that. My sweetie & I have been watching every Godzilla film throughout the year & this seemed like it was gonna be the perfectly timed end-cap. Oh well, better late than never. I'm more interested in what Toho is working on, hope this doesn't give them a delay as well.

To be fair, Godzilla vs. Kong's release date always struck me as pretty optimistic.

D'oh! Bad sign.

I mean for my part, I enjoyed Godzilla: King of the Monsters waaay more than Godzilla (2014). I liked that Godzilla and the other monsters all got more screentime but I do admit that the human element was severely lacking. Pretty much every scene with Vera Farmiga or Millie Bobbie Brown was terrible. It’s my hope that they’re taking extra care with the CGI but also reworking the human-centric parts of the plot so they’re not so abysmally weak this time around.

Really disappointed to hear that they pushed the release date back like 8 months.

I like the human characters much better in Godzilla KotM then Godzilla(2014). Though I wasn't a fan of Vera Farmiga's character at all. But I liked Millie Bobbie Brown's but her decision not to leave(until it was too late) when she summoned Ghidorah still puzzles me.

Yeah, all of the writing involving Farmiga and Brown’s characters stunk. The military and scientist characters were decent enough, at least. I’m hoping they lean into that for GvK.

Like how they went from believable characters with understandable dispositions to brilliant scientists that want to wipe out most of the planet and and super invincible Agents of SHIELD organization with helicarriers or whatever?

Yeah the serial escalation of the MonsterVerse movies is very real, but if the movies can continue to be fun then I don't mind. I mean ****, the next movie is going to have a massive fight, a giant robot, and a hollow earth. I'm not looking for these movies to have a "grounded sense of realism".

I'm finally hyped for this movie, haven't cared for the monsterverse at all since I absolutely hated Godzilla 2014, which was supposed to be a "realistic" take on Godzilla, but it was just a boring mess, I had free tickets to watch it a second time and passed. Shin Godzilla being amazing only solidified my dislike of 2014. Because of that I didn't care to watch the sequel.

I was also mad that the prequel to Jackson's Kong, with Skull Island was scrapped in favor of making Kong movie that could eventually crossover with Godzilla. Still bitter about that but I mean I'm glad that they decided to go all out with kaiju and a new Kong v Godzilla fight is also amazing that it's happening. I will be doing a re-watch of 2014 and watching Kong/KOTM for the first time to be ready for Kong v Godzilla.

I agree that Godzilla [2014] is too light on Godzilla himself and as a result suffers for it. At first, I liked Peter Jackson?s King Kong but looking back I feel it was waaay too bloated. That scene with the bugs? Man, that sh!t drags on. I like Godzilla: King of the Monsters a lot but I?ll be the first to admit that nearly any scene with people talking (which you may or may not care about when watching a kaiju flick) is awful. The military/scientist scenes are, to me at least, more tolerable than the family drama scenes with Millie Bobby Brown and Vera Farmiga.

It fvcking sucks that Godzilla vs. Kong is delayed AGAIN but I understand. If anything, they?ll have a lot more time to polish it up and I look forward to watching it on a big-ass screen.

Edit: sdp, let me know when you get around to watching Kong: Skull Island, I think it may actually be the strongest film of the MonsterVerse so far

Here's the Godzilla vs Kong Trailer.

All the money shots are of Zilla getting clowned on. Looks like they are leaning heavy into the goofy summer blockbuster vibe. I actually preferred the tone of something like Shin Godzilla, or even Godzilla 2014, but I can see the appeal of taking the material less seriously and just smashing the toys, I suppose.

That’s always the thing about what people prefer when it comes to Kaiju stories. What people prefer is so varied it is hard to get a “general” film

Will this film have different outcomes depending on what day or hour you see this in theatres?

The movie is going to be awesome. And the best part about it is that I can see it at home. :)

Is Godzilla smaller than before?

No still the same size. Its just that Kong is now as big as Godzilla. Because the first time we saw Kong was back in the 70s. So he's grown a lot bigger since then.

Eh, visually it looks fine to me. I haven't read anything about the plot so I have no idea what's leading to this one, story-wise. I'll definitely check it out but I might wait for the Blu-ray since I generally don't stream anything. Hopefully it'll be good. I've liked the series thus far even though it's definitely not how I would have "booked" a Godzilla franchise. But I openly admit that my Godzilla preferences lean more towards "He's a violent force of nature without a conscience" rather than "Benevolent protector of nature's balance", but that's just me and either works just as well depending on the execution.

Haven't watched KOTM but it's definitely better than 2014 and overall not a bad King Kong movie I liked it, just not the Skull Island movie that was cancelled.

King Kong wins in the international version and Godzilla loses in the Japanese cut of the film

Definitely can foresee how it's going to go. Godzilla goes crazy aggro on everything because some other kaiju (or some faction of humanity) is doing something to him like on a brain wave level... Kong shows up, they fight, it's indecisive and then they team up against whatever or whoever it is that's been making Godzilla go nutty.

Oh, and this new little girl that's buddies with Kong clearly is going to hold hands with the Stranger Things girl from the last movie at some point, to coincide with Kong and Godzilla becoming buddies by the end.

Looks great, though the trailer is very one sided on the fight aspect.

Sounds about right.

If Vegas was taking odds on this film's bout, I'd say the "Mecha-Godzilla" reveal would be looking very lucrative.

I preferred 2014 to KOTM. Maybe the action scenes are awesome in KOTM, I'm not sure. I couldn't get more than an hour into it because the human cast writing and acting was the poorest I've ever seen in a movie like this.

See I love the new Godzilla and Kong stuff. Love it. But I'm easy like that - it was the same with Indiana Jones. I was just so damn happy to see the guy running around on screen again that I never deeply cared that he hid in a nuke refrigerator. It wasn't good. But I didn't care.

Yeah, the last Godzilla movie was deeply disappointing to me. 2014 was good, they just had to up the ratio of Godzilla time to human time by a small percentage. Skull Island was OK but honestly a little forgettable (as in I don't really remember it... maybe 1 scene with big spider things with long legs and big lizards giving Kong a hard time).

I prefer KOTM because it had more Godzilla then the 2014 one. I don't care how the humans were in KOTM as long as we had more Kaiju action. That's all that matters to me.

Like I said before Kaiju films have a hard time for hitting a good film as often they can go from silly action flick or a psychological horror film.

Nobody sees a Godzilla movie for the good story or good writing. They see it for the Kaiju action.

It boggles the mind why people hated KOTM when I thought it was superior to the 2014 movie. The one complain people had with the 2014 movie was it had less Godzilla. So KOTM gave you more Godzilla. So they should be happy right? Nooo! They complain about the story and human characters more then the amount of Kaiju action that sequel offered. I hope for Godzilla vs Kong that it will satisfy everyone. Because all I care about is the Kaiju action. Sure there's a story in there somewhere. But those two are the main attractions.
