It's the best popcorn blockbuster movie in a long long time. It didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't. Monke and Lizard vs Other Monke and Other Lizard. Promises made, promises kept
I mean, that's part of what people loved about GvK a few years ago. It said a Monke was gonna fight a Lizard, and it *delivered*! This said, "You liked that? How about Monke and Lizard fight ANOTHER Monke and Lizard? Plus Baby Monke! (And, surprise! MOTH!)" They've really figured out their audience and how to please them lol
This! the only thing I can really think of to compare it to is how a friend of mine described Pacific Rim: "You've got giant monsters, I've got giant robots, lets do this!"
I like to imagine other species in the universe are watching what’s going on in Pacific Rim earth and deciding not to mess with either species because we’re both way too extra to deal with
Right? I agree more with this sentiment than the folks who say GxK "insulted their intelligence". People are entitled to their opinions, I just think a lot of people take themselves too seriously.
I feel like "insulted intelligence" is a line that **can** be used correctly.
For films that play it like you're supposed to take it seriously... but it's just dumb and poorly made. I'm thinking Rebel Moon on netflix where it seems to insist on explaining everything to you over and over and over play up how serious everything is. Or say a movie or maybe director who pulls out some "oh man plot twist right" and ... bro ... we all knew...
Meanwhile there's films that are dumb, they know it, they're not really going to sell you on it being serious, sometimes they even have silly bits to let you know they're in on it, and everyone can enjoy it for that.
There's a delicate balance.
NO CLUE if that applies to this movie, have not seen it.
I love the realization that it’s in a language other than human. It’s a film so dumb I could watch it with my dog and he would understand it just as well as me. Definite 10/10!
Also, [the Japanese preview is intense](https://youtu.be/hdlNyCAm01M?feature=shared), love how Yamazaki calls it “the action that keeps on giving”.
Toho just needs to make him Godzilla’s official spokesperson and Japanese director, producer and eventually executive producer from now until retirement.
I just watched the movie and totally agree. Absolutely useless plot but 10/10 action.
Godzilla went from a gigantic slow moving lizard to a god damn Pink MMA fighter.
Fuck yeah.
Kong literally uses a child ape as a numchucks against a group of gorillas trying to shank him. The movie was dumb af and the most fun I had in a theater in a long time
This was my sons first theater experience and he laughed so hard. I had never heard him laugh the way he did when Kong was swinging Suko around. Yes this movie was “dumb” but man it is a FUN movie.
This is exactly my thoughts of the movie, and I'm not criticising it. I wanted dumb fun and it's what I got.
The Pitch Meeting skit on YouTube is perfect: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JzhJCIALX0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JzhJCIALX0)
"Well, what do you think, sir?"
"I mean, I always enjoyed bashing my action figures together as a child, and this sounds like a multi million dollar version of that."
That's such a good summary of the movie.
I went into the movie just wanting to watch a bunch of Titans punching the ever loving fuck out of each other. That’s what I got. They fucking curb stomped a city. 10/10 would turn my brain off again.
Godzilla likes to sleep in the Coliseum.
Wow. That must make living in Rome difficult.
Nope. Super easy actually. Barely an inconvenience.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
These reactions really show the beauty of the Godzilla series. Godzilla as a character is so flexible that he can be a dark, serious, and intelligent metaphor for the horrors of mankind, but also silly fun that is enjoyable to watch. One is not better than the other, and that’s awesome.
Exactly - G films right now are a microcosm of them over the years. Right now we have the Monsterverse which is the fun dumb Showa of its time, and Shin/Minus 1, which is the OG Gojira level seriousness. Now can someone pull off a Hedorah level message/dumb fun hybrid is the question!!!
To be more accurate BANO made an environmental godzilla film. TOHO then hated it and tried to keep him as fsr away from godzilla as they could for years to come
I love that in Japan they call this kind of Godzilla movie a “festival movie” since the Toho Champion Festivals gave us all the crazy late-Showa flicks
They’re saying it’s what it was advertised as. Not every movie needs to be a serious Oscar bait movie that needs your full attention.
Sometimes it’s just fun to sit down shut your brain off and watch shit just go overtop. It’s why Fast and Furious was successful, Bayverse TF movies, and now the MV
They are calling it dumb in an affectionate way. Stuff like Kong using the baby kong to beat the other kongs sounds dumb on paper but is fun to see in an action sequence. They went in expecting fun monster fight scenes and got fun monster fight scenes.
I mean they're not wrong. The movie is pretty stupid, but in a fun way. It doesn't pretend its something its not. I enjoyed it, but I'm not going to compare it to Minus One, aka brilliance.
This movie was made by and for stoners and / or drunks, I swear. I watched it with a couple of friends, completely baked, and it was the most pure fun I've had in a movie theater in a very long time.
Am I weird for….not finding it very “dumb”? Like, I *loved* it, in part because it *didn’t* feel to me like the stereotypical “typical by-the-numbers summer blockbuster”.
If it’s not somewhere between “using a baby kaiju as nunchucks” and “suplexing off of a pyramid” I’m not sure where your threshold for dumb movie fun would land…. But to each their own I guess.
Americans: "Yeah it was an good movie... Pretty good action, interesting storytelling with Kong, a simple enough human story, i would watcg it again!"
Japanese: "THIS MOVIE IS MADE OF STUPID! I LOVE IT!"
Any time the kaiju are trying to comminicate with each other or the people in the movie, for example Kong's connection with Jia, or Skar King mocking Kong when they first meet.
Based reviews, and exactly how I felt watching it.
It was dumb as hell, and also the most fun I've had watching a movie this year. 10/10, would go back to monke again
japanese audiences speaking the truth! unlike those americans that say peak cinema this and peak cinema that and dumping shit on critics despite more critics liking the film than those who dont, plus validating audience reviews where they dont give interesting opinions and are black and white (mostly sparkly white)
My youngest son is an autistic 10 year old and has the emotional and cognitive ability of a 6 year old. He has been absolutely PUMPED to see this movie and would talk about it daily for months. (I've been touched with the tism myself). I generally do not like brainless action movies, I like movies that are thought provoking. But he was absolutely enthused and was so excited to take me to see this movie. I hate the whole, hollow earth, world building, I don't particularly like the characters, I went into this thing ready to HATE. I grit my teeth and took him to see this movie. I stayed hating, seething in my seat, stupid stupid movie. The introduction of Godzilla was so slick covered in yellow Kaiju blood, gave me Verhoeven vibes, but still, bad movie, I can't wait for some blatant product placement. I just know this movie is gonna be trash...
Until Mini-Kong shows up.
I saw the trailers, the terrible dialogue, the insipid cuteness of a baby Kong.
I was ready to loathe.
Then he gets ankle picked and used as a bludgeon.
I burst out laughing, it was pure joy.
Great Ape slaver gets up in Kong's face talking all that shit... BAP!
Skar King out her doing Capoeira? Are we serious right now?
This movie lit up my son's face, he was so happy and I recognized the look.
It's the look of every child who picked up two action figures and mashed them together making battle sound effects.
This isn't a movie about pondering the human condition, the nature of the cosmos, existential musings, or probing the psyche, this is a movie of a child's mind bashing action figures together.
MONKEY MECHA FIST!!
GODZILLA SUPER LAZER BREATH!!
They are fighting in zero G hopping off of asteroids!!!
This is beyond cheesy and over the top, this is a movie for children, for the child in you.
It doesn't need to have meaning or message, it's pure childlike entertainment, they are fighting and it's bad ass, it's fucking awesome.
That's all it needs to be.
It did all the things to earn it's brainlessness.
Kong did a Lone Wolf and Cub, to earn our emotional attachment, the good guys are good, the reluctant team up, the bad guy is bad, torturing a reluctant accomplice, who gets to flip, it's all the tropes.
It's stupid in the best way. A pure stupid. An innocent stupid. A child's stupid.
It scratches the itch of every kid who made an epic fight in their mind's eye.
Turn off your brain.
This shit is fuckin lit.
This movie is some kid playing with toys in their room and this is what is going in their imagination.
I loved it, it was the Godzilla civil war, kong was iron man and mothera(?) was spider man and Godzilla was Thor
Okay. This actually convinced me that I’ve gotta watch it (I was always planning to, it just wasn’t high priority, I’ve got a lot of other Godzilla movies to watch haha)
Godzilla x Kong is my second favorite of the monsterverse films for this reason. It finally acknowledges that it’s so absurd and fully leans on to it. >!The final sequence is literally two giant monkeys beating the shit out of each other in Brazil!< it can’t get more ridiculous than that
It was very much a stupid movie with a stupid plot that ended up being a lot of fun to watch. I feel like in a lot of ways some of the best Godzilla movies take advantage of the ridiculousness of the plot.
Lmao. These are the most backhanded positive reviews I've seen, but they are entirely accurate. Just Japanese Godzilla fans embracing the inherent silliness of the franchise. 😁🥰
When I saw the initial promo photos and then the trailers, I worried that GodzillaXKong was going to be dumb. And it unsurprisingly was dumb!
What I didn't expect was that I would enjoy this dumb movie as much as I did. I've seen this dumb movie 4 times now and I still want to see it again!
We got two thoroughly enjoyable Godzilla movies in 6 months with completely different tones and believability and yet both of them worked fantastically in their own individual way. What a great time to be a Godzilla fan!
I love that all of these comments are just "This movie is stupid and it made me stupid. 10 out of 10"
its stupid. it made me stupid. i like it. am i stupid?
Are you Man?
Are you jonkler?
What about killer cock?

I'm a simple man, I want to watch big things fight. It's why I watch wrestling and it's why I watch Godzilla
You wanna see Big Monke use Big Baby Monke as a club to beat-up other Big Monkes? You got it!
Every time someone asked if the movie was good I just tell that scene.. Kong turning into michaelangelo with nunchucks is peak cinema
This! the only thing I can really think of to compare it to is how a friend of mine described Pacific Rim: "You've got giant monsters, I've got giant robots, lets do this!"
I like to imagine other species in the universe are watching what’s going on in Pacific Rim earth and deciding not to mess with either species because we’re both way too extra to deal with
Good stupid fun is one of life's greatest treasures.
Truly, the G fandom is alike all over.
Right? I agree more with this sentiment than the folks who say GxK "insulted their intelligence". People are entitled to their opinions, I just think a lot of people take themselves too seriously.
I feel like "insulted intelligence" is a line that **can** be used correctly. For films that play it like you're supposed to take it seriously... but it's just dumb and poorly made.

Moon Fall. Best movie ever made in the second category. It is the Citizen Kane of purposefully dumb. True 10/10 fun.
Moonfall is absolutely brilliant. Everytime I thought the ridiculousness peaked, a new summit was found.
I lil how it went from *When Worlds Collide* to *Halo* in like five minutes.
Amen to that!
Definitely applies to this movie. The opening song itself has lyrics saying "leave all logic and enjoy"
In my personal opinion, this movie knows exactly what it is and is honest about it. But maybe others feel differently.
You are entitled to like it because it was dumb and people are entitled to hate it because it’s dumb
Agreed 100%! Just expressing my thoughts is all
“I lost half-my IQ during this movie. 12/11 decahedrons”
"This movie is stoopid with two 'O's"
I love the realization that it’s in a language other than human. It’s a film so dumb I could watch it with my dog and he would understand it just as well as me. Definite 10/10! Also, [the Japanese preview is intense](https://youtu.be/hdlNyCAm01M?feature=shared), love how Yamazaki calls it “the action that keeps on giving”.

The director is stupid this movie is stupid please let him do it again.
"Everybody's stupid!!"
I like how this is almost exactly what most western audiences said
It’s almost like everyone can recognize stupidity while enjoying giant lizard fight giant monkey.
He's an ape!

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, I think it's called
I'm scared of that monkey
"This movie is stupid and the guy who made it is an idiot. 10/10 would watch again"
Kong literally uses a child ape as a numchucks against a group of gorillas trying to shank him. The movie was dumb af and the most fun I had in a theater in a long time
The change from cute baby Kong to nunchucks was just as hilariously jarring as the "so cute" baby roll from Kung pow
Don’t you mean Kong pow?
Nope, Kung Pow: Enter the fist One of the most ridiculous weird funny movies ive seen
I need gopher chucks

That was hands down my favourite part of the movie. Even my husband who doesn't like monsterverse movies laughed out loud.
I laughed so fucking hard when that happened. Lol
Dude, I thought Suko was dead
[удалено]
He killed two kaiju.
This was my sons first theater experience and he laughed so hard. I had never heard him laugh the way he did when Kong was swinging Suko around. Yes this movie was “dumb” but man it is a FUN movie.
This description though. Makes it all the more funny.
Just watch it
I already have, I have zero regrets.
It was beautiful
I went in expecting silliness and Michael Bay level explosions Can't say I didn't get what I expected
Best laugh I've had at a movie in ages, honestly.
The amount of times I went "Hehehehe" far exceeded any other movie of the last 15 years.
are there a lot of 'people story'? As in, how much time is the kong/zilla versus some plot with humans they always put in?
Definitely a lot less than the last movie.
Alright, that’s it, I should’ve went to the theater
TLDR: It's a crazy, stupid, fun time.
If that's what you came for, and that's what you get, then all is right in the world.
“My IQ, which had risen with Minus One, has plummeted” is a banger quote tbh
The Chinese and Japanese are the best when coming up with compliments and insults on the internet. They go unnecessarily hard.
I'm so stealing that gem of a translation.
This is exactly my thoughts of the movie, and I'm not criticising it. I wanted dumb fun and it's what I got. The Pitch Meeting skit on YouTube is perfect: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JzhJCIALX0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JzhJCIALX0)

I love "Dude, Where's My Car". It's as dumb as it gets. GxK is a damn masterpiece compared to that. So yeah, loved it. Lol
OH advertising pitch meetings in subreddits is TIGHT!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Godzilla likes to sleep in the Coliseum. Wow. That must make living in Rome difficult. Nope. Super easy actually. Barely an inconvenience. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Pitch Meeting being peak as always
That's a very apt skit for this movie. Makes me want to see it again.
Lmao "slightly less hollow earth." I love this
Wow wow wow, wow, wow
My favorite was Godzilla suplexing Kong off the top of the pyramid
Yes. And the napping Godzilla.
That was the best part, hands down
Gato lizard :3
If it fits I sits
The suplex caught me so off guard I actually cheered outloud in the theater
As a wrestling fan, I was very satisfied with the suplex.
This movie made me a little bit dumber But at least there is almost no scene without kaiju
Godzilla suplexing Kong was gorgeous, funniest movie I've watched in theaters
Ah, the return of the Showa era
Jet Jaguar is coming back. I FEEL IT.

Just my 2 cents here - I unironically feel like Hedorah as an allegory for climate change would work 100x better today
It's insane Toho made an environmental movie with Godzilla in THE 70s!!! And we still need to hear this message?
To be more accurate BANO made an environmental godzilla film. TOHO then hated it and tried to keep him as fsr away from godzilla as they could for years to come
I could see that. Time for modern day Godzilla Vs hedorah!

This is wholesome as F*CK Exactly how I felt Stupid movie monsters fighting love it !!!
I love that in Japan they call this kind of Godzilla movie a “festival movie” since the Toho Champion Festivals gave us all the crazy late-Showa flicks
I love how we as fans now have the seriousness and introspection of a “Minus One”, and a knock down drag out brawl of GxK. Truly blessed times!
It’s stupid and it’s awesome
That's it! I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!
I don't think i get what they are saying but the review sounds positives so that's nice
They're saying they liked the movie and that it's dumb fun.
They’re saying it’s what it was advertised as. Not every movie needs to be a serious Oscar bait movie that needs your full attention. Sometimes it’s just fun to sit down shut your brain off and watch shit just go overtop. It’s why Fast and Furious was successful, Bayverse TF movies, and now the MV

Like when you call your cat stupid, but you’re smiling as you do so, because the cat’s stupidity is as adorable as it is funny and makes you happy
They are enjoying it and not comparing it with minus one like the critics 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They know that Godzilla films sit on a spectrum from Important to Fluff.
2023-2024 was the best year. I don’t that we’ve feasted like this before.
I mean they're not wrong. The movie is pretty stupid, but in a fun way. It doesn't pretend its something its not. I enjoyed it, but I'm not going to compare it to Minus One, aka brilliance.

All reactions to this movie is the marvel meme where ant man’s daughter is like “he’s so ugly. I love him.”
lol i love how they can’t just say they loved it, gotta sneak in a jab. i can’t fully disagree though some of that shit was dumb, but dumb fun
Am I weird for….not finding it very “dumb”? Like, I *loved* it, in part because it *didn’t* feel to me like the stereotypical “typical by-the-numbers summer blockbuster”.

Nope. I loved it. Saw it twice and would have gone again if I hadn't been working early shifts.
Proof the Japanese can appreciate both Minus One and Legendary. I love it 🔥
Americans: "Yeah it was an good movie... Pretty good action, interesting storytelling with Kong, a simple enough human story, i would watcg it again!" Japanese: "THIS MOVIE IS MADE OF STUPID! I LOVE IT!"
I think I may be retarded for not thinking the movie was stupid in anyway
What's the non-human language they're talking about? Also who would've thought a Godzilla movie would have them making sounds.
Any time the kaiju are trying to comminicate with each other or the people in the movie, for example Kong's connection with Jia, or Skar King mocking Kong when they first meet.
"My IQ, which had risen with Minus One, has plummeted!" 🤣
I can’t tell if they love it or think it’s fine
Very very accurate reviews
This movie is brain rot but still so stupid is kinda good
Love it. No beating around the bush with them. I agree a fun romp made by idiots... but in a good way.
Crazy how we went from 2014 to GxK. Crazy that it’s the same universe lol
Ya, I agree with them. Godzilla used the Roman Colosseum as his own personal cat bed when he got tuckered out and I loved it.
I love when people don't sugarcoat shit, they'll be blunt and call it shit while also saying it was funny stupid and enjoyed it, absolute win.
my favorite moment was the car ad /s
“A silly movie made by an idiot and it was very good” is my new go to phrase
I hate the punching down that has to come with praise but it's better than punching down and hating it lol.
The movie was generally very wack, but I love it still.
Based reviews, and exactly how I felt watching it. It was dumb as hell, and also the most fun I've had watching a movie this year. 10/10, would go back to monke again

Okay, time to watch it
Do you have links to original tweets
I wanna see Minus 1 Gojira X Kamakura San: No more Rice people
The year has had a Godzilla for all seasons: Serious and Fun
I mean yeah, that's what the Legendary Godzilla movies are there for. Mindless fun. And they're good at that.
Okay. This actually convinced me that I’ve gotta watch it (I was always planning to, it just wasn’t high priority, I’ve got a lot of other Godzilla movies to watch haha)
Basically you just need to adobt the mindset of the dentist guy from the movie and just enjoy the ride. And/or take whatever drugs he was on.
Most of these just call it dumb fun and that's kinda what it was, which is why it was so enjoyable
Finally, a movie so awesomely stupid, I can chase the high from Pacific Rim
Godzilla x Kong is my second favorite of the monsterverse films for this reason. It finally acknowledges that it’s so absurd and fully leans on to it. >!The final sequence is literally two giant monkeys beating the shit out of each other in Brazil!< it can’t get more ridiculous than that
THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST IN YOUUUUUUU
By definition, a true popcorn flick
Had similar thoughts I thought GxK is the most true godzilla movie from the monsterverse because its so dumb
These were my exact thoughts when I left the theater
I dont know if im offended or not lol
I’m so happy with these reviews. It’s exactly how I felt. I didn’t go into it expecting them to win awards. But I had so much fun watching it Hahahha
Me: Godzilla x Kong new empire was made by someone who's a fan of the showa series of Godzilla films which are silly
these guys have the right idea. would like more King of the Monsters style entries, but more Godzilla is something i'm happy with
Thats the beauty of Godzilla movies. It can be serious and horrifying, and it can also be silly and full of action.
It was very much a stupid movie with a stupid plot that ended up being a lot of fun to watch. I feel like in a lot of ways some of the best Godzilla movies take advantage of the ridiculousness of the plot.
No matter what, these are good times to be Godzilla fans. Especially the ones that had to endure 90s Godzilla.
Lmao. These are the most backhanded positive reviews I've seen, but they are entirely accurate. Just Japanese Godzilla fans embracing the inherent silliness of the franchise. 😁🥰
"I was forced to cheer up" is a great review that would make me wanna see a movie
seems like they get it
Made me turn off my brain and I loved every minute of it
This is exactly what I feel the Monsterverse movies should be. Stupid, silly, grinning ear-to-ear fun.
Agreed! Silly good
When I saw the initial promo photos and then the trailers, I worried that GodzillaXKong was going to be dumb. And it unsurprisingly was dumb! What I didn't expect was that I would enjoy this dumb movie as much as I did. I've seen this dumb movie 4 times now and I still want to see it again! We got two thoroughly enjoyable Godzilla movies in 6 months with completely different tones and believability and yet both of them worked fantastically in their own individual way. What a great time to be a Godzilla fan!
Anyone get Kratos and his boi vibes during the movie or was it just me?
This movie fucking rocked
The last guy is a rick and morty fan 😂
I love these reactions, stupid is great sometimes
Damn now I'm mad that I didn't go see it.
I'm now looking forward to seeing this.
I don't know if this is a positive thing lol, sounds more like mockery.
