Shitty movie desu

It's over capeshit

Shit and unoriginal movie and all the praise it's getting here and in the media just speaks volumes over the state of American cinema.

Capeshit btfo

>you were born just in time to live through the age of kaiju kino
Feels good

that's not too good for an almost 200M film

kaijukino* > capeshit

*translators note: kaiju means monster

Search "Hand Expression" on youtube.

>random child breast feeding in videos

The gap between critics and the masses just keeps growing

Shit movies make hundreds of millions and kino won't even get mainstream releases

>Godzilla(2014), Shin Godzilla, now King Dong
Move over comic nerds, there's a new king in town

it'll make a huge amount overseas, they love caveman tier hollywood trash and this looks at least entertaining unlike transformers

CAPESHIT IS OVER

>The gap between critics and the masses just keeps growing

Its certified fresh on RT with a 79% and the movie just made more than it was expected. Id say that critics and the masses are on the same page on this one

You don't even know what kino means you meme spewing retard.

All of those films are better than every capeshit film too, this is working out pretty well.

How the fuck is this degenerate shit allowed!? Any child could access this fucked up shit!

natalie dormer?

Based Kaiju Kino is back

what is it? i thought it was just women nursing babies or giving lactation tips to other mothers

Well yeah, this movie was about nothing more than making money
Hopefully they take the profits and break the bank on Godzilla vs. Kong

more like a chubby stone

Very entertaining movie, great CGI, funny moments, great action scenes, good suspense. Story wasnt great, acting wasn't great, lots of cliche stuff and coincidences. This movie wasn't meant to be the best thing ever, it was meant to be funny and entertaining and that's just what it was. If you're thinking it needs to be a masterpiece to be worth watching your either an idiot or you need to get your autism checked.

K A I J U K I N O

IS HERE

Not that impressive. I expected 90 mil. in Murica at least.

face blindness?

Why is ugly ass Kong running away?

...

>That's not where milk comes from!

BTW in case anyone wonders I think this is Katerina Hartlova

I, for one, welcome our new kaijushit overlords.

Well done Legendary, well done

HOWEVER

>tfw you're happy about living in the age of kaiju kino but so far Godzilla was just okay and Kong was downright shit.

Brie Larson is getting less attractive the older she gets. She peaked at 20/21.

Anno is a hack

You got to start somewhere

Good
>Vietnam War stuff
>Mythology surrounding Kong, Skull Island, and the other MUTOs
>SLJ and some of the other soldiers
>John C Reilly
>Action sequences
>Soundtrack
>Post-Credits scene
>King Kong himself

Bad
>Hiddelston and Larson
>Slo-mo and lens flares
>Pretty standard story (basically the plot of Jurassic Park 3)
>Not spending more than 1 scene each with some of the other monsters

You forgot one in the bad category
>John Goodman and his pointless death

Yeah lets take the only character with a direct relationship with monsters and a clear objective and just dump him from the screen once they get to the island.

>Good
>John C Reilly

>Bad
>TITTEYS

>fucked up shit
>breastfeeding

That's impressive as hell for such a garbage looking film.

Split and Get Out also performed massively above expectations.

Maybe Hollywood will stop whining this year and get on board the Trump Train.

it just reminded me I have to rewatch good vietnam movies.
movie almost seemed rushed, like if they cut a lot of filler, but not the boring filler, only the good filler.

>post yfw Kong comes in from out of nowhere and bashes that monster on the head with the bigass rock

as a regular viewer of the MCU, I agree. Kaijukino is back and I am loving it.

There's no gap.

This film has like 75% on RT.

Film criticism is dead.

Audiences watch anything with a brand name and a marketing budget.

We're now in a post modern hell.

I bet the top 5 grossing films of the year will be based on pre-existing properties.

you've probably never even seen a monster movie besides Godzilla 2014

>If you don't like watching boring trash made for the dumbest of the dumb global audience member you're an idiot

Hmmm.

...

thats where yer wrong, kiddo. I had VHS recordings of whatever Godzilla movies had US releases before GINO ever happened. also was hype for Godzilla 2000 as a kid. try not to assume things, son. makes you look stupid.

Let me guess, you liked The Force Awakens?

so why didn't they try to save the guys that got eaten by the 1st small skullcrawler thing?
I mean, it was not even 2 minutes from the time he ate them to the time they killed it.
One of them got even swallowed hole, so he must be still ok right?

Did you also go to Godzilla 2000 in theaters? I remember it fondly.

It's gonna do much better overseas, especially in china

I did, yeah. don't remember much about it other than Orga being really goddamn cool.

I read Kong needs to make at least 500 mil before being considered a success, why is the media making a big deal out of 61 mil opening?

It needs to make 5.3 billion

Because it's doing much better than projected.

Ya Orga doesn't get much love, he's like an even more extreme version of Biollante in that he is so different that no one likes him. At least non-Jap audiences like Biollante...

The only flaw was 'HE'S THE LAST OF HIS KIND'

Fuck off, could have left it open ended legendary you dumb fucks

just came back from the cinema and stayed for the post-credits scene
ask me anything

P U R E K I N O

How the fuck did this movie cost $185 million? The CGI is shit outside of Kong. Godzilla only cost $5 million more and looks 100% better.

I'm about to end capeshit's whole career.

I don't know about that. I hear the marketing cost about eight billion alone.

Cause Kong was actually in this movie unlike blink and you'll miss him Godzilla 14

I saw it too, but am I the only person that thought this shit was written by a 12 year old boy?

Like I liked the action parts of the movie (for the most part, some of it was corny), but holy fucking shit that shitty fucking dialogue kept ruining it for me, as well as unbelievable standoffs that were occurring. Don't get me wrong, the movie was about a giant fucking gorilla, but man was it pretty corny at points (even when its just leads interacting).

Godzilla looked like shit

Every scene was shot in the dark for some fucking reason

does it ain't me start playin?

Everytime the lady opened her mouth it made the scene terrible. Which was why it was so great when Sammy told her to shut the fuck up.

fuck off back to Sup Forums. I'd take John C Reilly over tits any day

No.

it was a fun movie, it didn't pussyfoot around and got to the island quick. It did its job.

Biollante is such a cool design that I find it shocking that Japanese fans dont like it.

such a missed opportunity

No, but you do get "Walking Through the Jungle"
by CCR when they start walking through the jungle

Biollante got popular many years later and is still is today, it was only a failure at the time of release

Just watched it, effects and action was bretty gud but everything else was complete garbage.

When you have to speed things along as much as this movie did you know it's time to stop rehashing this shit.

There wasn't even a point beyond setting up a future movie, it's no better than capeshit now.

damn fucking shame. can we talk about that credits stinger? because holy shit its fucking Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah

they set up at least two movies the fuck you mean

Not a chance with all the competition these few weeks.

It might have a good follow-up weekend.

I also saw it earlier today, sounds like we're all in agreement. The dialogue/script was painfully bad (cheeky black soldier guy making unoriginal jokes throughout, anything the chick said), but I was into all the monster fights, helicopter crashes, and the post-credit sequence actually has me hyped up for more movies.

Fuck superhero movies, haven't been interested or watching them since Age of Ultron, just give me fuckin monsters! I want a rated R King Kong next time.

yeah deadline just said, this is fucking horrible. No Godzilla vs King Kong if this doesnt make more money.

Jesus Christ. This is borderline pornographic. I understand having these videos on youtube for educational purposes, but this seems a little much.

Why do they all have gargantuan breasts?

Is it just me or did they have issues with consistency in his size? Sometimes hes as tall as a mountian, but then his palm and feet were kinda tiny in comparison

Else I was sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time

It's strange realizing there are films like this and Transformers 5 or Pirates Of The Carribean 5 (?) that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, feature the best cast and crews possible, will earn hundreds of millions of dollars and I will never, ever watch them.

Not even as a conscious decision. I can't even imagine having the enthusiasm to add it to my netflix queue.

The right to be the property of any American man who wishes to own you?

A lot of them are literally porn

Pretty much
It's not a fantastic movie but as far as blockbusters go, but it has enough neat visuals and action sequences to make it infinitely preferable to Marvel's Family Friendly Quiptrip #407-B9

Kaijukino is the hero we need

desu 6/10

>Die, you motherf-

Sounds like a review for a shitty Marvel.

I was so mad I paid to watch this fucking garbage.

*anime tiddies

Put the soundtrack in the bad category and I'm pretty much there with you. I think this movie would've been so much better if Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson just didn't appear in it. Both characters were boring as shit and had 0 motivation. Samuel Jackson, John c Riley, and John Goodman actually had interesting back stories and motivations that didn't get explored as much as I would've liked since the movie was wasting so much time on Larson and Hiddleston. Get rid of those two and either replace them with the Asian woman and John Goodman's assistant or throw those out as well.

>that scene where Kong just wants to chill in the lake a bit and wash his wounds

Kong is precious

Tricks of the camera. You can make a manlet look like a giant without needing CGI simply by shooting at the proper angles.

One of my favorite parts of the movie. Samuel knew damn well why she was in the movie and it sure wasn't to tell a better story

>unironically uses RT to gauge movies

Well at least one of you is correct, but I'd also like to add that film itself is dead

Nolan of our generation
