The highly anticipated monster movie "Godzilla vs King Kong" has been released, and as an audience that has been chasing the monster universe, Lao Sai has gone to watch it for the first time.
After reading it, the feeling is very worth the ticket price, but the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
First of all, the following content involves spoilers, and children's shoes that care about this please circumvent themselves.
First, let's talk about the two protagonists that everyone pays the most attention to, Godzilla and King Kong.
Throughout the movie, they are played twice, and basically each time it is a suspenseful Godzilla crush.
In the first fight at sea, although King Kong gave Godzilla a punch, Godzilla slapped King Kong directly down with his backhand.
King Kong was then pulled by Godzilla to the home of the seabed, and he had no power to fight back.
In the second Hong Kong War, King Kong initially had the upper hand with an artifact axe, and once knocked Godzilla over.
However, Gods pulled up and directly beat King Kong to death.
In fact, the entire film has been rendering Kong inferior to Godzilla, such as King Kong must be assisted by humans, or he must strengthen himself to compete with Godzilla.
This is also in line with the director's previous statement that the battle between the two monsters will not obscure the outcome, but has a very clear winner.
Godzilla, the king of the monsters, is still the king.
Of course, King Kong's fans don't have to be too upset, because the director also saved enough face for Skull Island on the other hand.
Throughout the movie, Godzilla has very few scenes, and basically only appears when fighting.
The film is from the perspective of King Kong as the protagonist, although the title is Godzilla in front, but the scene is that King Kong is much more.
It's also a balancing act, fighting Godzilla to crush King Kong and then giving King Kong a little more of a play as compensation.
Let's talk about the play.
The whole movie has a total of 4 fight scenes, in order:
Godzilla vs King Kong (World War I).
King Kong vs Hollow Earth Monster (Feather Snake God).
Godzilla vs King Kong (World War II).
Godzilla & King Kong vs Mechanical Godzilla (Showdown).
Strictly speaking, there are only three because the last two battles are linked.
The production of the fight as a whole is very good, unlike the previous "King of the Monsters", the monsters always cut to the human side while fighting, here at least the monsters have finished a full round, and the camera will switch.
However, the first two battles were relatively short, especially the battle between King Kong and the Feather Snake God, and it was over in a few clicks.
But even so, the third and fourth matches, or directly the final showdown, are very, very exciting.
There are also some very interesting scenes, such as the audience who has seen the "King Kong" series of movies know that King Kong likes to tear open the mouths of his enemies.
During World War II, King Kong grabbed Godzilla's mouth several times, and seemed to want to do this trick, but each time Godzilla immediately spat out atomic breath, directly scalding King Kong to release his hand.
Although the shot is short, is this also a small Easter egg for fans who have watched the series?
The battle against mechanical Godzilla is wonderful.
At first, Godzilla consumed a lot of physical strength due to the battle with King Kong, and was rubbed on the ground by the mechanical Godzilla, the gap was so huge that Godzilla could not touch anyone.
The mechanical Godzilla's sense of oppression is a hundred times more powerful than the three-headed dragon Ghidorah in the previous part.
After King Kong was restored by the human infusion of energy, he teamed up with Godzilla to fight the boss, and the design of that section was very impactful.
The horror and destructive power of the monsters is displayed to the fullest, so that the audience can enjoy watching it very much.
Overall, the production of the four fight scenes is excellent.
The first two games were wonderful but unfortunately short.
The last two can definitely be said to be super meals, whether it is the quality of itself, visual effects, and length are absolutely satisfactory.
After talking about martial arts, let's talk about literary drama.
Everyone understands that the literary drama of this kind of film is actually completely unimportant.
As long as you don't make people look at the screen as awkwardly as "King of the Monsters", it is already a pass.
The literary drama of this movie generally completes the task of connecting the various monster play scenes.
But there are still shortcomings, small places, small details, etc. logical errors are simply too many, and the plot in many places cannot withstand scrutiny.
However, these are nothing, the biggest problem is that because the first two play scenes are relatively short, so the first and middle periods of the literary drama are still a little more.
It is also very embarrassing to always let the dead family members of each character show their emotions, either the girl died her parents, or the male brother hung up, or the black man's wife died again.
But on the whole, the literary drama did not affect the "main dish", so even if the quality is not good, everyone will not care.
Although the literary drama in the first and middle periods was slightly delayed, there was basically no cold field after the start of the third battle, so the literary drama of "Godzilla vs King Kong" was obviously far better than the previous "King of the Monsters", at least people did not affect the play.
In the end, the film doesn't have an Easter egg because Godzilla's copyright has expired.
As for whether the follow-up monster universe will continue, it is most likely to look at the results of this movie to decide whether to continue the copyright.
In the film, when King Kong arrived inside the hollow earth, there were other types of monsters, so there was no problem for this movie universe to continue to develop.
Overall, it's a really good commercial monster movie.
