The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Godzilla VS Kong

Since this film is coming out by the end of the month I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread about it. What are your thoughts so far based on marketing?

Huge Kauji/Gojira fan, so seeing this smackdown is a must!

There is a spoiler via toys about the other monster in the film. Should I share?

Don't you think the film is coming out way too fast? The first trailer was dropped a couple months ago and it's already being released. That is not normal. I am excited but worried at the same time.

I know they began pre-production on it back in 2019, even in King of Monsters (2019) credits it mentions Kong and alludes to a smack down to come.

2019-2021, that’s a good amount of time to put a movie together.

I am a little worried that this film will be a let down for different reasons.

Most versus films have not done well:

Alien vs Predator (Overhyped)
Alien vs Predator Requiem (Disgusted even die hard fans, plus poor lighting)
Drucula vs Frankenstein (1971, has a score of 3.6 out 10 on IMBD)

Even King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) only has 5.9 out of 10 on IMBD and 50% Rotten Tomatoes. I go by IMBD because the score comes from normal viewers, like if you posted an Amazon review.

At the moment Gozilla vs King Kong (2021) has a 7.5 out of 10 IMBD and a 79% Rotten Tomatoes Fresh rating. Tomorrow we will see if we both agree with those ratings.

I am hoping I can rent it at midnight on HBO Max.

So without providing any spoilers, because I am watching it tomorrow, what were your thoughts?

Turns out the HBO subscription I have isn’t HBO Max. So I will have to sign up to watch it. Ugh.

Saw it, I do not recommend it. It had great action, particularly the first round between Gojira and Kong, but aside from that It was a let down due to ignoring plot points, and symbolism from Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019)

I felt the SPOILER was rushed and demolished too quickly; it should have been the focal point of a sequel I’d have called “Destroy All Monsters,” in which it kills Titans, giving it the title “Destroy All Monsters.” It felt like a third wheel to the movie.
