That's a real hard question to answer. I found it entertaining, but I've also watched through ridiculous Godzilla movies before so this is nothing new to me. Some people will most definitely find it boring though. It's far from a perfect movie.
4% is straight up lie. Maybe if he's talking about 2014 zilla. This has at least about 4x/5x more kaiju / fights time than the 2014 zilla. I found the fights fun and entertaining, 2014 fights has better cinematography but was wayyy too late to get into it lol.
They confirmed the two are fighting in the third when this movie was announced I believe and I think that cave painting they showed in the end credits, of Godzilla and Kong fighting ,was in Skull Island itself as well.
The humans in this remind me of your typical cast that you would see in a Roland Emmerich disaster flick, without a Jeff Goldblum or Will Smith to elevate it. Not exactly a ringing endorsement ;). With that said, while the characters were the weakest part of the film, they certainly didn't ruin it for me.
The burning Godzilla is taken from the Heisei films. He is empowered in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II by a fellow monster's sacrifice exactly like in this film, though not by Mothra but by Rodan, and gains a superpowered red spiral beam he beats the villain with. Then in Godzilla vs Destoroyah he starts going critical and is showing burning and glowing like in this film. That he's going to meltdown and irradiate a large amount of the planet is basically the plot of that film, though it ended a lot worse for him there than it did here.
Godzilla was shown in the 2014 film to be very graceful in water, he makes no noise and moves very swiftly (in fact it's the last shot of the 2014 film, the water being immediately calm after he dives under the waves), it's not til he's on land that he lumbers around. They carried that on to this film where he got the drop on Ghidorah who obviously is not so swift in the water and was actually kicking his ass underwater til the Oxygen Destroyer hit. It was actually Godzilla being clever cos he ambushed Ghidorah and tackled him into the water on purpose. Ghidorah on land is near unstoppable. However, when Mothra showed up they had the advantage, if Rodan didn't join in Mothra and Godzilla would certainly have beaten Ghidorah two on one.
I thought him glowing red was just the nuke timer getting close to 0 like the guy kept reminding «only 5 minutes left ».
This movie was obsessed with sex jokes. They wanted do quips like a Marvel movie but it just channeled Bayformers.
You know what's funny? There are monsters fighting almost throughout the whole thing but they just don't show it. I am going to breakdown avery "monster fight" scene for you:
Maybe I was being too harsh, probably around 8%.
I believe the idea is his Burning form which could run off the excess radiation as an attack was from Mothra empowering him. When he fires the nuclear pulses, you hear Mothra's cry and there's a slight outline of her wings in the blast.
I think it was just the American take on him gaining the red power, which he originally got from absorbing Rodan instead of Mothra, iirc
It was a pretty direct reference to his Burning Godzilla form in Vs Destoroyah, right down the danger of him either exploding or melting down.
Ah okay. Couldn't remember if he went full on or just got the red scales in the old one
I remember seeing a toy of that, actually.He looked like this for the whole film
Godzilla is powered up by Rodan sacrificing himself in that film, it gives Godzilla a superpowered red atomic breath he trashes Mechagodzilla with . KOTM combined both into one.
Yeah, they swapped Rodan out with Mothra
