Tekne posted:This movie reduced me to a pile of ash. It's a relentlessly thrilling and often beautiful joyride of clashing titans, exploding buildings, and squishy humans. King of the Monsters really understands what awe inspiring spectacle is versus the legion of forgettable disaster movies we've had over the years. I wish I could see this movie now gently caress, you don't know how jealous I am I can't even see it Thursday, my theater doesn't change stuff until Fridays So any cameos from other Toho kaiju that we could keep an eye out, if you care to share?

The new titans created for KotM had really diverse and interesting designs though.

Last question I promise Do Rodan and Godzilla ever get to throw down. Rodan throws down with Ghidorah and Mothra and I wanna know if he just throws hands with everyone

Rodan and Godzilla never get the chance to the fight. He always has his plate full when Goji shows up.

I actually turned it off after about a half hour. I also saw it once before years ago and remembered it being frenetic, but I didn't remember the dad rock, the anime sensibilities, the snap-cut editing, the wild story about human mutants, and the intro featuring a Japanese sub captained by a Jesse Ventura lookalike. That half hour wasn't good, but it was fun.

Got my tickets booked at the local Ultrascreen DLX, which is unfortunately the biggest one available (true IMAX is prohibitively distant, though someday I'd love to take a road trip). Opening-week matinees are AWESOME. Someone at my theater's bar is a serious artist with the chalkboard and regularly draws amazing things for the specials, hopefully they'll do something Godzilla-themed this time and I can snapshot it for the thread. Their Shazam and Avengers boards were muy impressive. McSpanky fucked around with this message at 17:14 on May 23, 2019 |

I liked Final Wars, but I also liked Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes ridiculousness and Versus, and saw it RIGHT after both of those things, so it was more of the madness. I watched it more as a Ryuhei Kitamura movie that Godzilla happened to show up in and liked it because of that.

Still got Godzilla lodged in my brain today. KotM is just stuffed to the brim with truly epic and more importantly memorable sequences. The post credits stinger has got me hyped for what kind of crazy poo poo is going to go down in future movies.

Well I meant more his physical design- like does he have an awesome beard or more scars? Still that's interesting. Godzilla has fought Kong's species in the past before. Weird.

There was a "new" titan I was happy to see. A full grown female Muto (she's bulkier and heavier armored than 2014's) appears, so the lovers are not totally gone.

Accidental double post because I am dumb. Anyway, this channel just uploaded the entire soundtrack. It's one of the best parts of an already incredible movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qBvXSv2qoY

Detective No. 27 posted:Does the soundtrack have any spoilery names? Godzilla's Noble End Not in the playlist I saw there, but from the earlier tracklist reveal, I saw some spoilery-seeming ones: Goodbye Old Friend, Rebirth both seem like they might hint at Mothra dying, though that one was kind of expected and almost certainly spoiled by trailers already anyway. Other than that, there's Battle in Boston, but I think that's also been shown in the trailers too. Nothing looks as bad as what you have spoiled there, at least.

Tekne posted:We get some partial shots of him from the side and back moving around. They're extremely short and on computer monitors so hard to judge how much bigger he is. The first credits sequence shows an ancient painting with a giant Kong fighting a slightly larger Godzilla. I guess I'll need to brush up on the Monsterverse Kong species. I thought the 1970s Kong was growing larger only because of radiation induced by nuclear weapons. Or does the Kong species just typically grow throughout their lifespan? The latter would only have the ancient cave painting make sense.

The paintings don’t make any sense anyway, originally the idea was the monsters were from a period when the earth was irradiated, and awoken by new food sources. Then they added in Skull Island and Now it’s all cave paintings with Godzilla in them fighting ghidorah so he’s been on ice max a hundred thousand years

Bear McReary's version of the theme is absolutely wonderful, but lets not forget Pharoahe Monch has the all time best version of the Godzilla theme.
