32: Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Ohoho what’s this? A new release? You better believe it, buster. We’ve tightened up our supply chains and we’ve vertically integrated in order to deliver our takes from the Hollow Earth directly into your earholes in 5-7 business days or your money back, guaranteed.

That said, you might be wondering “Hey, what’s your take on Godzilla vs. Kong?” Well, I’m so glad you asked. Some of us liked it and some of us didn’t. We have all sorts of reasons for this, but we all agreed that it wasn’t very good in spite of however much we happened to enjoy watching it.

The plot is a huge mess, the human characters are really hit-or-miss (and there are way too many of them), and worst of all, you couldn’t see the guys in some of the fights. I mean what the heck is that, I’m sitting here trying to watch two kaiju (Japanese for big ol’ guys) kick each other’s asses and you’re telling me you chose an aspect ratio that prevents me from seeing the guys? Give me a freakin’ break!

At the end of the day, there’s enough positive in Godzilla vs. Kong that it’s probably worth a shot if you have HBO Max, but it didn’t quite live up to our expectations. Especially in a franchise where Kong: Skull Island already showed how much fun these movies can be, Godzilla vs Kong felt far too much like King of the Monsters. We hope to see more Big Guy movies, maybe with some Space Guys or some Robot Guys, and get into a discussion of how the Monsterverse can make that happen.
