Kong: Skull Island - Part 3

[Galactus123]

Hopefully the end credits scene is making its rounds on the general audience.

I hope so too. I was the only one who stayed till the end when I saw the movie.

I want that Godzilla vs Ghidorah painting as my desktop background so badly.

When i saw it, there was just me and some other person (i believe it was a girl, but don't quote me on that).

 

[Arachnerd]

When I went to see it, I think there were still two couples in the movie theater.

 

[Fading]

There are theories floating around that

Spoiler

John C Reilley, and the Japanese WW2 soldier's relationship was foreshadowing Kong, and Godzilla. An American (Kong), and Japanese (Godzilla) finding common ground, and cooperating. Just in case, I mean Kong as an American in a where King Kong movies are made sense. As obviously in the movie Kong's from an undiscovered island.

My main worry is if it really is foreshadowing, the Japanese soldier died, and I don't want Godzilla to die, lol. I mean I know he's died before a few times, but still. Some people think it means he'll die to King Ghidora in Godzilla 2 (think it's called King of Monsters), but then he wouldn't be alive for the Godzilla vs King Kong movie, so I doubt that.

Huh, never thought of that. That is an interesting similarity.

Kong held really well this weekend in spite of Beauty and the Beast's massive opening. It was only down 52% compared to Godzilla's 67% second weekend drop. It's also at $260M WW now and should close in or surpass $300M by the end of next week. I believe $500M+ WW is pretty much locked for it, but the question now is will it surpass Godzilla's total?

 

[Inhuman117]

well the movie lands next week in China and Japan so everything is possible

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Not shocking considering Godzilla had terrible word of mouth while Skull Island's is decent.

 

[All-Father]

Saw it yesterday and really liked! The action is amazing, and I think it's my favorite "big monster" movie.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

I've seen Kong twice now and of the recent big budget monster movies it's still my favorite. I honestly think it balances characters, humor and action the best without ever feeling boring or slow. It's a total crowd-pleaser and while I understand people might be disappointed because they were expecting more I don't think many realize just how hard it is to make a fun popcorn movie these days. I mean just look at the garbage that came out last year like The Legend of Tarzan or Independence Day: Resurgence. Hell the last couple of Transformers movies are no better either.

 

[Enriquespy]

To be honest I think that Peter Jackson's Kong had the better fight scene with the 3 "V. Rexes". I really enjoyed this film more that Jackson's, but that scene still trumps any of this one's fights.

To be fair, its down 52% because it didn't make the much its first weekend. It still somehow came in under Godzilla's second weekend.

Yeah, I was gonna say that. That fight is spectacular. As is the entire film really. I quite love it.

I do think that Skull Island has a bigger rewatchability factor though.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

If this year weren't so crowded this would have killed in the blockbuster season. This movie has high rewatchabilty and because of that has decent legs.

 

[David H.]

I saw this last night. I liked it, specially this part:

I'm still reeling that we got ****ing Life, Power Rangers, and GITS to deal with and it's only March.

 

[Sithborg]

Saw it and really enjoyed it. Glad it is doing well at the box office.

Yeah that V-Rex fight was dope and while nothing in this tops that scene I still love the scale of the monster fights in SK. This Kong is on a whole other level than Jacksons and I can't wait to see what he does as a full grown adult duking it out with Godzilla and hopefully other monsters.

 

[Lasirius]

I hope so too. I was the only one who stayed till the end when I saw the movie.

Only a couple of people stayed for the end credits aside from my partner and I. I have the impression most people aren't aware of the monster shared universe.

 

[Enriquespy]

Plenty of people stayed in my theatre, news of the stinger ran fast.

I'm really hoping GITS is good. Like with video game movies, anime real actor movies are typically poorly made no matter how good the source material.

I agree though, lots of big movies this year. While I'm watching Logan, and Kong, trailers of GITS, Aliens, Power Rangers, and Transformers are out.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

You all haven't even mentioned the biggest movie of the year so far.
