Godzilla vs Kong movie review from Decker Shado

Godzilla vs. Kong has finally been released after being postponed from May 29, 2020 to March 13, 2020, November 20, 2020, and finally May 21, 2021, the film has finally been released. The film will be released in the United States on March 31, 2021. The film was also accessible on HBO Max until April 30, 2021, at which point it will be removed.

The screenplay was written by Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields, while Adam Wingard directed the film. Borenstein, Dougherty, and Shields collaborated on the script. In Godzilla vs. Kong, which takes place five years after Godzilla vs. Ghidorah, Godzilla and Kong square battle when Ghidorah goes on a rampage.

When Jia pays a visit to Kong and offers him a toy, the Titan, knowing that he is stuck within the biodome, discovers this and tosses a tree at it.

Meanwhile, Bernie Hayes, an Apex Cybernetics employee and presenter of the Titan Truth Podcast, exfiltrates material implying dark operations at a Pensacola Apex facility, but Godzilla appears and suddenly strikes. Among the rubble of the facility, Bernie discovers a bizarre piece of equipment like a huge robotic eye.

Impressed with Godzilla's ability to save mankind, the populace turned against him following the assault. An adult listener of Bernie's show, Madison Russell, is frightened about the latest Godzilla assault on her school. When she attempts to reason with her widower father Mark (who is also the Monarch's director) about the source of Godzilla's rampage, he ignores all she says, saying merely that animals may change like humans. Soon after, Madison enlists the aid of her closest friend Josh Valentine to uncover the mysteries of Apex and the man behind Godzilla's rampage

Ilene Andrews, a Monarch anthropological linguist and Jia's adoptive mother, joins Nathan on Skull Island with his plan to utilize Kong as a navigator to direct them to the energy source since Skull Island is no longer able to hold him and enable him to thrive. Ilene first rejects the task, but when Nathan convinces her that this is the only way to end Godzilla's rampage and locate Kong a new home, she agrees.

In a modified barge, Nathan, Ilene, Jia, and an Apex crew lead by Walter's daughter Maia board to prevent a mildly drugged Kong from escaping. Kong is locked up to keep him from escaping. Kong gets restless and upset one rainy night, and he begins to tug on the shackles that keep him restrained. Jia calms him down by allowing her and Kong to hold fingers in solidarity as Kong signs the word "home" much to Ilene's surprise. Later, Ilene tells Nathan how she raised Jia as her adopted daughter when violent and unpredictable storms killed most of the Iwi and their parents, but Jia herself was the sole survivor since Kong protected her, resulting in the two of them developing a strong affinity with one another.

As the Titan approaches and assaults the soldiers before capsizing the barge and almost drowning Kong and the others aboard, Jia detects Godzilla's presence via the ship's vibrations. Fortunately, Nathan unlocks Kong's shackles, enabling him to fight Godzilla beneath long enough to swim to the surface and tip the barge back on its head, sparing the passengers from drowning. Kong mounts a neighboring aircraft ship to confront Godzilla, who gets onboard to confront Kong. Before fighter aircraft distract Godzilla long enough for Kong to shove him back into the water, the two Titans trade ferocious punches. Godzilla unleashes his atomic breath from under the carrier, but Kong leaps off to avoid the impact, only for Godzilla to wrap his tail around Kong and pull him deep into the water, aiming to drown the Titan.

Seeing that Kong can't live in the cold and that they can't return him to Skull Island, Nathan asks Ilene whether Kong would go if he believes there are others like him down there, and she tells Jia to persuade Kong that his family may potentially be down there, causing the Titan to enter the tunnel.

Walter plans to use the energy of the Hollow Earth to overcome Mechagodzilla's restrictions, it is revealed later. Madison then understands that Mechagodzilla is the reason Godzilla attacked in the first place: Apex is attempting to replace him and all of the Titans in order for humans to become the Earth's apex species. Madison and the others stumble upon a room where Ren is sitting inside Ghidorah's severed head, which has been turned into a biological supercomputer and cockpit for Ren to control Mechagodzilla through radio waves after Apex acquired it from Alan Jonah after it was bitten off by Godzilla during his battle against Ghidorah five years ago.

Kong and Nathan's team set off on their journey after discovering a majestic stone temple belonging to Kong's forebears. They uncover artifacts of an ancient fight between Kong and Godzilla's race on their way inside, and Kong discovers an antique axe carved from a deceased Godzilla's race member's dorsal plate. This power source may also be used to recharge Kong's axe. Despite Ilene's concerns that Apex cannot simply seize the find of the century, Maia and the Apex team use spider-like drones to retrieve the power source and return it to their Hong Kong headquarters. Maia's guards open fire on Nathan's team, but Kong cries back furiously. When Godzilla senses the activation of Mechagodzilla, he races to Hong Kong.

Godzilla is so taken aback by Kong's power and ability that he spares his life before walking away, leaving him still alive but severely injured.

While Josh and Bernie attempt in vain to remotely deactivate the rampaging robot and Madison attempts to summon Mark for assistance, Godzilla and Mechagodzilla battle, at one point both firing their energy beams at each other, which lock together, only for Mechagodzilla to gain the upper hand, knocking Godzilla over and burning him. While Mechagodzilla proceeds to overrun and humiliate Godzilla, Nathan, Ilene, and Jia approach an unconscious Kong, where Jia detects a slowing of his pulse. Ilene explains that they are unable to generate a charge large enough to restart Kong's heart, but Nathan, recalling Maia's earlier statement about the HEAVs producing enough charge to power Las Vegas for a week, flies the remaining HEAV onto Kong's chest and sets it to self-destruct, detonating the craft and releasing a massive electrical charge that instantly revives Kong.

As soon as Madison sees Mark again, she invites him into her program so that he may talk about the Roswell Monarch facility with Josh and Bernie. Godzilla attacks Kong, causing the Titan to grab his axe and resume the fight. Despite Godzilla's reluctance to strike, Kong remains calm. As a result, the battle between Kong's species and Godzilla's is over. We see Godzilla return to the water peacefully with Kong following him, while everyone else looks on.

Sometime later, Monarch have created an observation post in the Hollow Earth. One day, Ilene, Nathan and Jia watch as Kong passes by on his morning walk. After signing "home" to Jia, Kong swings onto a cliff, pounds his chest and roars, declaring himself as the king of the Hollow Earth and happily embracing it as his new home and kingdom.

Site: "This long-awaited blockbuster matchup makes it easy not to think about the so-so story and characters by serving up plenty of action and incredible effects." Indeed, the movie's monster fights were praised by most reviewers. Some were disappointed by the movie's "half-baked" human characters. The film was credited with ending a box office slump fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, having earned an estimated $48.5 million dollars in the U.S. box office by the Sunday morning of five-day weekend release period. WarnerMedia did not release numbers for the film's reception on HBO Max, but stated that it was a film that viewers were watching more than once and that the film had a larger viewer audience than any series or film released on the service since it launched. The film also saw massive international ticket sales, with an additional haul of approximately $236 million in non-U.S. markets.

Since 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla, Godzilla and King Kong haven't appeared in a picture together.

A possible allusion to Martin Riggs' iconic talent of a similar kind in the Lethal Weapon series might be made in the moment when Kong slams his right shoulder against a structure to realign it after it had been dislocated previously.

Multiple references to the NGE are made throughout the film.

Kong, like Godzilla, jumps from ship to ship in order to avoid an angel.

The location of Mechagodzilla's station is similar to the Central Dogma in that it is underground and has a pyramid above it.
