But not before starting a thread about it.

Why do you give a shit, Mickey. Leave me alone.

Was Kong in that one?

These big monster movies have never really been a draw for me. I haven't seen any of these "new" ones. And I can't imagine I'll start with this one.

No. Are you saying he will succeed where Mothra failed?

So the latest Kong flick was a lead-in to this too? Fuck. This is too much like homework.

I just rewatched the trailer. When Godzilla is trying to flash-fry Kong, Kong is deflecting it with an axe that looks like it’s made from one of the spikes on Godzilla’s back.

This movie intrigues me. I may try and find Kong and that last Godzilla flick and watch those.

He had a little cameo IIRC

I highly doubt you need to have watched any of the previous stuff.

Godzilla is a giant lizard that stops a bunch of stuff. King Kong is a giant gorilla that lives on an island. Godzilla killed a bunch of other monsters.

I've summarized movies 1-3 for you.

Unfortunately, I’m not wired that way. Knowing these other 3 lead into it, I HAVE to watch them. Thanks, tho.

I'm a huge fan of the old movies, so I'll see this. But Godzilla > Kong, so if they say otherwise in this movie it will suck

Monkeys are smarter than lizards bro. He’s using tools for fuck sake Godzilla’s gonna get blitzed. Unless Godzuki shows up then things get interesting.

It was a cave painting wasn’t it?

I’m not sure I’d have pretty girl calms ape for starters. It was some I thought he 70s and jack black as well as spin offs mighty joe young

I am surprised this last one they didn’t bring Kong back to the mainland and left him there. While the outline is usually the same (man vs nature) sometimes you have to throw a curve ball to keep the audience honest

Maybe have the humans kill Kong only to find out it was son of Kong and now poppa is pissed

Pacific Rim is better than all these movies.
