For the two classic movie behemoths of Godzilla and King Kong, I should be considered very early. For King Kong, the earliest contact should be the 1976 version of "King Kong", for Godzilla, it is the Japanese 1991 version of "Godzilla's Revenge of the Dragon", and later I saw the 1962 version of "King Kong vs. Godzilla" , Of course, the films produced in that era could not be said to have audio-visual effects, but the imagination and impact brought by the film were huge. Until later, I watched the 1998 US version of "Godzilla", the 2005 US version of "King Kong", and then watched many Japanese versions of Godzilla one after another, such as "Godzilla 2000", "Brother" Zilla VS Mecha Godzilla, Godzilla VS King Ghidorah, Godzilla Tokyo SOS, etc., and I also watched several series of Mothra. Godzilla, these two classic screen monster series, have a relatively deep understanding.
The 2014 version of "Godzilla" that was restarted in the US version was not satisfactory. In the two-hour film, Godzilla's appearance time was only 5 minutes, but anyway, this series continued. The appearance of King Ghidorah in the US version of "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" in 2019 has brought back the memories of this classic series, but it actually feels that the plot is not as good as the Japanese 1991 version of "Dragon's Revenge" . The King Kong series also launched a reboot of "King Kong: Skull Island" in 2017, and the response was not strong. So far, Godzilla and King Kong have been fully active on the screen of the new era. Under the joint leadership of Legendary Pictures and Warner Films, and the success of Marvel and Disney's creation of the "Marvel Universe", the Monster Universe has become a reality. Launch became inevitable.
On March 26, 2021, "Godzilla vs. King Kong" was released, and I took the baby to watch the IMAX 3D show for the first time. The conclusion: It's cool!
In the previous series of movies, most of the monster battles took place at night, and the dark scenes have been criticized by fans for a long time. In the latest movie, it is full of sincerity. For this ultimate popcorn movie, although the plot can be completely ignored, the logic and rhythm still need to be mastered, and there is no need to care about other things.
In fact, for this kind of movie, there is really no need to care about it. Are many settings reasonable and important? Originally this is a fictional story, why take it so seriously?
This movie gives people a grand world view from the beginning. Human beings completely control Skull Island, observe King Kong's living habits, and then Godzilla suddenly appeared on the coast of the United States and attacked humans abnormally. Humans can only think There's a way to get Kong out of Skull Island to fight Godzilla, but there's actually a lot of deep conspiracy involved.
In particular, I want to talk about several battles. The level of confrontation between Godzilla and King Kong in the sea and in the city is quite high. If you say too much, it will be a spoiler. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it in the theater, especially the IMAX theater. Really cool!
