DrVenkman posted:So now the scientists burst in with all this information about these other monsters that are out there. So what was the point in the stuff about Monarch getting shut down at the start? They'd clearly had that information the whole time. They had a bunch of drawings. Finding Kong is how they proved that the drawings should be taken seriously as possibly corresponding to real creatures.

I was onboard with Aaron Taylor-Johnson's reserved performance, but, yeah, it's not exactly Samuel L. Jackson screaming at a giant monkey against a wall of flame.

Godzilla (2014) did not need someone undercutting the awe and majesty of the creatures, or the enormity of the destruction, with a wisecrack. That sort of thing relieves tension, and that wisely didn't let that happen until the very end, when all of it comes roaring out of Godzilla's throat.

Basebf555 posted:The skill is in inserting some tension relief without undercutting any of the awe and majesty. That's why you hire a John C. Reilly, because he can do that and also portray a well-rounded character at the same time. If you came out of Skull Island with the same sort of awe for Kong that you did for Godzilla in Godzilla, I guess it worked for you, but it didn't for me. Not that that was necessarily what Skull Island was going for, but it not going for that would be why it would make sense to include the John C. Reilly character.

Syncopated posted:Haven't read anything about this movie after watching the trailers, which looked pretty good imo. Is it worth seeing at the cinema or can I wait it out? It's a good movie and benefits a lot from a huge screen. Considering you liked the trailers, worth a trip to the theater.

I sat a little closer than I usually do when I saw this and things like the full-height shot of Kong against the rising sun were awesome.
