Your fears for Godzilla King of the Monsters

[OpteraKaiju92]

At this point in time I have no real concerns for this movie. I'm setting my expectations low for the acting as a whole but am intrigued by the cast overall. I think they've took their time coming up with a comprehensible and appealing back story. And I haven't been disappointed at all from the action sequences in the other movies at all. I really liked the trailer as well, though that doesn't mean much about how the movie will be

[PitchBlackProgress]

If you’re a fan of monster action, you’ll love this movie.
If you’re a fan of spot on drama in all parts, you’re going to be very disappointed.

Basically go in thinking you’re going to go see Kong: Skull Island
That way you’ll have no choice but be blown away in some aspects.

[RamshackleRanger]

I decided I'd watch G2014 and KSI last night in celebration of Godzilla's "Birthday," and honestly, I always forget just how goddamn good G2014 looks. I'm honestly a little nervous that KotM might not live up to it in the cinematography department, especially with the whole color pallet issue (Which was my only real complaint about the trailer).

Well, at least you can actually SEE the monsters this time In all seriousness, after some of the descriptions by fake, I think we may be ok on cinematography.

This right here is a major reason I hate test screenings and leaks in general, the people who read them act like they know the movie already when in reality...they don't. You haven't seen the movie. You don't know how good the characterization is, how the dialogue is, how the performances are, how good the action is and choreographed. You're getting the overwhelming majority of your info from literally one random dude on the internet, at most like 3..but let's round it up to 5. 5 people....whoopty doo. That is such an incredible small sample size, it's hilarious to try to judge a movie based on the reaction of that many people. And what's even funnier is 3 of the people who've talked about leaks (ViewerAnon, Guy on ResetEra, and 'Fake') have all actually kind of said different things in regards to the characters and how good each one is as well as the performances. It's ultimately all subjective anyway. You simply can't judge a movie accurately until you've seen it. Anywho, mini rant over

By the way as a little side note, the action in Kong: Skull Island is not that great. The only pretty good action sequence is Kong attacking the choppers and that is a sequence that only happens because the moronic pilots continue to fly their helicopters directly towards a huge monkey. (The spider scene is also pretty cool I suppose) But I honestly think it's hilarious that there are actually people who believe that KSI's big final battle at the end is superior than the Godzilla (2014) battle...it ain't even close. Point is I feel confident the action scenes in KOTM will far exceed the action in KSI. But again...I can't actually judge that until I've seen the movie

Although you can’t know for sure what you will think of the movie in May 2019, you can get a good picture on what you might be disappointed, what you might love etc. You can get sane and sound expectations instead of deluding yourself on how this film will be the absolute best and go all fanboy on it which certifies disappointment.

You say that like KSI is a bad thing.

[Mr_Goji_and_Watch]

KSI was a popcorn flick through and through. Whether or not you think that's bad is up to you

You totally ignored everything I said.

I was talking about the narrative part of Kong Skull Island and its lack to let anyone breathe for a second or weigh in on what was happening.

G14 was certainly a different film then what kong was and what king will be

Idk about you, but I thought KSI had several moments to breathe. But regardless, as long as the action is awesome, I don't mind.

When did you last watch KSI?

[morgoth]

As of this moment, There isn't much to worry about as far as G:KotM goes. At least not for me.

[PitchBlackProgress]

Randa died, no one cared and that dude on the boat

[Xx_The_Masquerade_xX]

I'm expecting weak character development, decent acting for all around cast and lots of monster fights.

So I think my expectations are set accordingly. If the character development is solid and the acting is good then it's only a bonus.

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

I honestly don't know enough about it to have any major fears one way or the other. I honestly don't care if the characters are weak if there's enough action and spectacle to make up for it. Not that I want the characters to suck but if they do they'll be easier to swallow if they can make up for it in other ways.

John C. Reilly filling in the gaps did wonders for this movie.

100% this. His performence was by far the besr one in the movie (aside from Samuel L.Jackson maybe), and it gave the movie some actual emotion.

Hopefully, KOTM will have atleast a small pocket of breathing area. Either way, I think it will be better to judge for ourselves when the movie actually comes out.

IT IS

And funny enough, that's my biggest concern about this movie: That it plays too much like Skull Island and less like LPG. Skull Island was all style (not even a great style, just an exploitative Sci-Fi channel B-Movie mixed with 70's rock music and gratuitous slow-mo) and no substance. LPG at least had *something*. Build up, delivery, fantastic sound design and cinematography, *some* great characters and acting, and better action scenes.

Give this man a fucking award, thank you. I agree 100% about your thoughts on KSI.
Glad to see someone else is smart enough to see what I’m talking about.

Dude, I'm not gonna act like KSI is flawless, but it at least gave us more than just 2-3 good performances and had ACTUAL character arcs. It didn't take itself too seriously and had fun with its premise. I really like LPG AND KSI equally, and I know when to give credit where credit is due. They have similar strengths AND weaknesses, but while LPG had scale and atmosphere, KSI was fun and entertaining.
