    Very entertaining.

    Deaf girl was the best actor on screen that wasn't human.

    Godzilla's fucking smirk was great. Team Monke FOREVER

    Really loved the fight scenes and all. Punches carried a ton of weight. Also that they used daytime footage for such said fights unlike the previous movie. Was cool that KvG started out at daytime and went through the night in HK.

    Fun, very dumb movie.

    what do we think 100k human deaths? They destroy Hong Kong killing countless people for what reason exactly??

    I also got a chuckle at the CNN headline that says “Only 8 Dead” after we watch Godzilla destroy the Apex complex in Pensacola. I literally watched dozens burn to death like a minute ago!

    Fun movie to get high to. Great CGI. But what next?

    I want to see a big ass alien horde come out some portal in Uranus, descend upon earth and all the monsters of earth unite to stop them.

    Maybe throw in some surprise Mecha versions of Godzilla, made by the Japanese, and King Kong, made by the Americans, that sacrifice themselves to turn the tide of the war.

    Then King Kong gets the biggest monster in a head lock and Godzilla get some type of super charge and blasts the main villain, blowing a hole through it and also fatally injuring Kong and wasting all Godzilla’s life force.

    The humans bury Godzilla in Atlantis. Then they bury Kong in that magical ground in the center of the earth by the temple. Some researches stay behind to study the land. As they do, the magic powers throb, and a baby Kong pops the fuck out.

    Deep below the ocean in the Atlantis, we close in on Godzilla resting place, Atlantis is alive with light, and it’s all glowing towards Godzilla...just before the credits roll, his eyes open.

    post credit scene 1. The Russians and China have just finished their own Mechas. Fully operational.

    Post credit scene 2: some Japanese guy is sweeping up outside his shop. The whole area is surrounded by carnage but his shop and the area around it is unmolested and now clean as a whistle. Just as he throws the last trash bag in a dumpster, there’s a rumbling above, debris falls down all around him, loud crashing sounds from above, then a giant torn off monster head crashes down onto his shop, destroying it, and cover the whole area, including the man, in green goop.

    The man licks the goop...fuck, it’s actually delicious.

    it may not be necessary, but a well acted movie with a better plot would certainly make for a superior movie. Just because you can enjoy it for what it is doesn't mean it cannot be improved.

    It made no fucking sense. They had zero reason to have Kong leave Skull Island.

    “we need Kong with us so he can...checks notes...crawl through a fucking tunnel and then fall?”

    They had ZERO need for Kong. They just needed those gravity ships.

    To me, part of the enjoyment is that it doesn’t make any sense. If you’re not constantly chuckling at the absurdity of the plot then you’re not maximizing your enjoyment.

    This. How people complain about a monster movie being more indepth
    This. Is supposed to be way over the top and extremely dumb and far fetched. The best ones are these type movies that don’t take themselves so seriously.

    I mean they specifically said they need Kong to lead the way to the energy source. Maybe Hollow Earth is massive and they wanted to find the source quickly with help in order to stop Godzilla sooner rather than explore the place themselves.

    Man that was not great. Not nearly enough monster fights (where did all of the other monsters go from the last movie?) and the humans could have been shaved down to about 3 people and not skipped a beat. 2014 Godzilla was fun, Skull Island was a blast but this and the last one are just complete messes.

    This shouldn't be this difficult to make these entertaining.

    Well they took him off Skull Island because they knew Godzilla would come for him if they didn’t. But also they needed him to lead them to the power source, which he ran straight to.

    How did they know about the power source? Why not use the device that detected the power source was there to find it?

    I assume they knew about the power source from their readings. I think he mentioned at some point that they had readings of the amount of power. I could be wrong though I was pretty high when I watched.

    The evil dude asked Skarsgard to help him find a "needle in the haystack" (energy source). Skarsgard said he might have a way (Kong) with the help of an old colleague. I assume they theorized it was there and were unable to find its percise location.

    They had no way of knowing that because they couldn't even get in the place. Plus, the giant, glowing mountain would have been the first place I checked.
