Godzilla vs Kong - Movie Review

 

59 Years Later

In case you missed the original 1962 first round, YouTube has King Kong vs Godzilla free to watch.  If you brave the theaters or have HBOMax, Godzilla vs Kong has arrived. This is a time where the original was made so long ago that I am okay with a remake. I also liked that the remake was not a direct retelling of the original movie but an mostly new story. It also helps that the special effect are way better now than they were back then.

Review

The story gives both of these titans something that makes you want to root for them. There were more than one round of fighting so don't loose hope if your favorite titan does not win every round. A small spoiler that I think you will see coming is that Godzilla and Kong are not the only titans to show up to the match. Unlike the original movie, this story focuses more on the titans than the human. Don't get me wrong, there is a human side to this that helps you care for these titans. In the end, I feel the story had a satisfying ending with plenty of action in it.

Hard to believe this franchise started back in 2014 with Godzilla. It was followed up with Kong: Skull Island in 2017. Godzilla: King of the Monsters came out in 2019. This franchise feels a little like the Unbreakable trilogy where two stories come together in a final film. I think everyone will be able to enjoy this movie.

Rating

I would give this a HD rating. If you enjoyed either Godzilla or Kong, I would recommend you add this to your collection if it is under $10. I will update the post when I get my copy.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
