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.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Once Upon A Deadpool Review

Movie Ratings The current PG13 rating allows the use a limited number of profanity words during the film otherwise the film will get an R rating.  Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were both rated R mostly for the profanity used throughout the movie in place of actual dialogue. I was not a big fan of these movies coming in at an R rating as it would reopen the door for other superhero movies to go for an R rating. My personal opinion was that profanity in a superhero movie would be overused like 3D because studios believed it was the key for the movie's success at the box office. It was not. The character was. In my opinion, I believe Logan was properly done as an R movie as it did not over use profanity in the movie. Many might believe that the Deadpool movies were the first R rated superhero movies. They were not.  All three Blade movies that came out in 1998, 2002, and 2004 respectively were the first R rated superhero movies. I believe these movies were also properly done lik...
