It's a simple fact, you can't let critics' opinions affect your view on the movie. It's a monster movie. It's not supposed to be perfection, it's supposed to be a thrill ride, and that's exactly what this was🔥

Critics: this film is NOT as good as Godzilla Minus One Fans (us): this film is NOT Godzilla Minus One

The one sequence in the storyline with Kong literally conveys heart and emotion without speaking a single word, just facial expressions and body language

Godzilla X Kong was a great monsterverse movie that was worth the watch. I never let critics determine the worth of a movie that I want to watch. I judge movies for myself.

You cannot compare Gozdilla x Kong and Godzilla Minus One. One is a big budget popcorn movie with Kaiju fights. The other is a thought provoking, emotional story about a pilot with PTSD. They are not the same.

Fans>>>Critics

This why I never bother to take the critique score serious at all, I watched it yesterday. It was freaking awesome, we all asked for less talking and more monster on screen action. 8/10 solid

As a fan of kaiju mayhem, this film actually added another dimension to it which is the monster's emotion. You know, sadness, anger, tired, happy and they can even laugh! This added character development to these monsters who were seemingly just slugging it out on older Godzilla films. And that I think brings out a new angle and enough reason for them to go to war and not just mindlessly duke it. For me, this makes the battle royale even more tasteful and intense! Godzilla and Kong Forever! 🥳

The film is exactly what most fans wanted, angry lizard x flying monkey pounding on other monsters whilst causing massive collateral damage. This movie is tailored for attracting young audiences, and providing good dumb escapism for adults. It's a good evolution of the Showa era.

*Critics when GxK isn’t dark and depressing like G-1:*

Critics lost touch with the fact is that you review a film based on what they are, not on what they want them to be.

I did a quick binge of the four movies leading up to this one (previously only saw Kong Skull Island and Godzilla (2014) in theaters). Going in I could see each movie built up on the previous installment the tech, the human characters, the scale, and expectations. Watched the new one in IMAX and was more pleased with the non verbal communication of the monsters. They definitely focused time on showing the monsters with more thought and reactions in the scenes than the previous ones. As for moving the plot along, the story did a lot of shortcuts to make the scenes connect, with use of movie logic. But that ended up working out so that it was not dragging too long with exposition. And even with the shortcuts they still allowed the human characters time to have some personality. And if you are a fan of the retro 80's aesthetic this movie had it in spades. From the music to the vehicles to the visuals of terrain. The ending does make a good stopping point of the franchise, but allows it to continue if they want.

Minus One has ruined critics view of Godzilla, they think EVERY Godzilla film is a dark, grim art piece. They are so wrong though, just look at the older movies, Godzilla FLYS!

I do not care what the critics say. I sat in the theater with a huge smile. The movie made me feel like I was 10 years old again and it was Saturday and Godzilla Vs Hedora was playing. The movie feels like a 70's Godzilla film, but with modern special effects. I plan on going to see it again this weekend. I saw it in real 3D and I felt it was worth the extra charge.

I left the cinema with a big smile on my face after seeing The New Empire. Kong and Gia's struggle of trying to find where they belong was the heart of the movie for me, as I found it very relatable.

Oh man, Godzilla X Kong was SO MUCH FUN!! It hearkens back to a simpler time, back when movies didn't have to take themselves so seriously or explain everything away. Personally, I loved how many moments there were where they just let the monsters' expressions do the talking without any dialogue--movies don't really do that anymore but it gives the audience some credit and allows for different interpretations.

I'm still gonna watch it. I've never listened to the critics

The only critic to listen to is the creator of minus one. He enjoyed it. That tells you everything. I saw it twice and loved it. My favorite monster verse movie so far. Packed theater.

Let me be very CLEAR!! My life is already DARK and GRIM enough that I am not interested in watching movies of the same tone. I prefer watching goofy, colorful and mass action movies. This was EVERYTHING that I needed. I liked it way BETTER THAN Minus One

Who doesn't like to see Godzilla on a smooth day of work? GxK Godzilla was having the time of his life and it was awesome to see a non miserable Godzilla effortlessly and ruthlessly win every scene he was in.

Screw the critics. I'm going to watch it and I'm going to enjoy every second

I watched it. My only negative thought was it was a little too fast paced and some scenes were rushed into and over just as fast. The movie was still a fun Godzilla movie.

The New Empire opens a whole new realm for the franchise. Kong and Sukos bridge scene was terrifying if you think about the bridge itself.

I’d watch so many more of these movies if they keep em coming , Kong has so much personality and I’m all for it . He’s come a long way man and it’s great to see. Definitely like him being the main face of our monsterverse but I’d still be down even if they make Godzilla the main one next movie , seeing them as enemies who respect each other enough to keep separate parts of the world theirs but also help each other if a bigger enemy is needed to be taken down is always awesome to see

Last night I sat down and read every single negative review and about 89% of them were either mindlessly comparing it to minus one or just insulting the movie, none of them felt like actual reviews and it's clear that only a few of them actually understood what the movie was going for.

I really don’t care what critics or audiences think of this movie, it’s gonna be a blast

For a long time I have just waited for the audience reviews, those truly reflect the movie's quality, specially when they are the type made for fans. It's very simply, if you're not a fan you'll not enjoy some movies. Edit: also many bad critics just use the "not as good as Minus One" sentence... They are not even the same type of movies, one is center on the human's struggles against an unstoppable force while dealing with a post war era, and the other one is a movie center on big monsters clashing.

For me my favorite monsterverse movie was Godzilla 2014, I really liked how it seems more like an apocalypse, and it shows a lot of human perspectives of the fights. I feel like legendary has slowly started leaning away from the apocalyptic feel and more into the chaos/action-packed feel, which isn’t bad but I still miss the old feel. Which is why I’m excited to see minus one eventually, because it goes back to the apocalyptic feel. Anyways I haven’t seen minus one or Godzilla x Kong yet so I don’t have a whole lot of fact to go off of, so I’m just going off of trailers.

I watched the movie with my family during a pre-release in IMAX and I enjoyed it so much! The whole theater was clapping at the end. The critics are comparing the movie to Godzilla Minus One, which is okay, but the franchise is so versatile that Godzilla can work seriously or fun. The movie was a love letter to Showa era and the fans.

It’s simple. This movie is for the fans, not the critics. A critic will say that it doesn’t make logical sense, whereas fans will go into the cinema without even expecting it to make sense. They just want to enjoy these insane „escapist” movies where big monsters beat each other up

Yeah, I stopped reading 'critic' reviews after they said The Last Jedi was practically the next Empire Strikes Back. Fans sync with other fans and can talk the trade. Fans>>>>Critics As for Godzilla x Kong, we all enjoyed it. Very Showa-Esque.

I think it's quite obvious that a lot of critics see these films in a very narrow, restricted way - meaning Wingard's entries in particular: The monsters ARE the protagonists. It's beyond obvious the entire narrative in GxKis about Kong's journey - his emotional journey and search for home. He. Is. The. Main. Character. All of the other monsters, even the bit players, have personality to them. I think a lot of critics have a hard time tuning into the fact that the monsters aren't just VFX in action scenes - but CHARACTERS. So when critics say "there is no story or character development" they are demonstrably wrong, because they looking at this film in the most shallow way possible by virtue of it being about giant monsters. Because it's a big, fantastical, pulpy comic book of a film, they immediately look down upon it as lesser. So of course they aren't going to see what's right in front of them. No character development? Kong and Suko go through a whole-ass arc. And although they are mostly for exposition, Dr. Andrews, Jia, and even Bernie have arcs as well. They're just not he main protagonists. KONG IS. Also, can we acknowledge that a LOT of "critics" on RT aren't actually critics in the film-educated sense? They're just casuals with TY channels who only ever glean the surface of anything they watch? Call me a snob, but I don't think people like Emily Wolfe and Jeremy freakin' Jahns should be considered a "film critics." They're just people who kinda like movies as a hobby.

I'm gonna say one thing the Mario Movie taught me and I think is good advice for everyone: Screw the critics, at this day and age, you're better off watching the movie yourself and form your own opinion on what you watch or check on what the audience and even what some KZfaq channels say about the movies in their reviews, because here's the thing about critics: They're out of touch. All of them.

Notic how "TOP CRITICS" give bad reviews and common critics give good reviews.

I had so much fun watching this film. Lol, the theatre started cheering when Godzilla and Kong teamed up. Pretty fun theatre experience.

I think the critics are going to hate because of ghidorahstan64

Have to say I love the community you have here. I’m in a community group on Facebook and it’s extremely divided ever since -1.0 has come out and it’s infuriating. As if Godzilla’s Legacy should be forgotten because -1.0 is the new “golden standard”. It’s sad to see many either say the past should stay in the past. But here I’ve seen nothing but love for everything Godzilla. Congrats Dangerville, you’ve become a great home to the King of the Monsters and his fans

The movie isn’t perfect and I’m not expecting critics to blindly praise it, but most of the negative reviews don’t even point out actual flaws of the film and just say that it’s an emotionless blockbuster.

Suko getting used like a pair of nunchucks was too funny 🤣😭💀💯 movie was legit 🔥🔥🔥

At this point, the critics are just tasteless idiots

I never listen to critics. They hated on King of the Monsters. The Audience score disagreed. I was in that group. KOTM remains my favorite Monsterverse movie (I haven’t seen GxK yet)

My biggest problem was the editing, i wanna see the directors cut. Just a few more scenes during certain moments of the film (if you've seen it you know) could have given it a more meaningful impact. I've seen it twice, and i love it.

Just saw the movie last night (3/29) on opening day and let me say holy shit!!!! I agree with the mayor it was fast paced however I understand why. The big reveal they had was awesome!!! I love how they got the monsters expressions and show cased it. All in all thanks to dangerville for the lore videos and their videos, I was geeking out hard and my wife was as well. Thank you Dangerville!!!!

Allistor, what we need to talk about is how good it was. Talking about negative reviews only feeds them. The human story while not perfect was actually nice and i enjoyed the car more than most other monsterverse films. I really hope dangerville does a video on how well the titan interactions were. I can't be the only person greening blown away by Adam's silent dialog performance. U could feel what the monsters were saying and that was dynamic in a way I've never seen before

Completely stayed away from any media concerned with the movie after the first two trailers. And when I went to go see it yesterday off of that alone? It was so worth it. Has a special place in my Mv list along with king of the monsters

I watched in 3D IMAX today, absolutely loved it. I thought the special effects were incredible, 10 years ago they had to keep Godzilla under darkness most of the time but now he's in sharp light most of the time and still looks amazing.

I watched it last night and personally loved it. It was easily one of, if not the most insane monster movie I’ve ever seen. There’s not much more you could ask for in a kaiju film. Was it perfect, no. But it was a damn good time. Can’t wait to see it again!

I watch GXK when it first came out and for sure. its to good to be on big-screen ngl. 12/10 in my opinion

Bro I Watched Godzilla X Kong Just Hours Ago ! Man It's Sooo Goooood !!!! THE HYPE IS REAL Y'ALL ❤

Kong tried to drag Zilla by his tail into the hollow earth. I thought that was so freaking funny! Loved the movie.

Watched it earlier and all I can say is that I love it. The only thing that I felt at the end is that I was left craving for more. I agree with a commenter here when he said that it was "a little too fast paced". But I still love it and my inner child is left craving for more.

I saw it yesterday in 3D, exactly in the center of the theater, and it was very good, entertaining and has so many great parts... Top G, of course, with his always awesome self, the Scar King was quite a character and you got to see how he got to be the leader of the great apes with his insane demeanor, I could actually relate to Shimo and her situation, but most relatable of all was Kong, whom I've become quite fond of... I love seeing him going through all this, how he responds in the various situations, especially his interactions with the other great apes... Solid movie that delivers BIG...!

Lately nowadays all movies that’ve been hyped up have been giving low ratings, like fnaf, kung fu panda, godzilla x kong, black panther 2, believe it or not even spiderman into the spider verse got backlash before fans fought back

I loved watching this last night. It was sooo much fun! However, I did have one issue: the poor handling of Skar King and Shimo. They were introduced way too late, imo. We should've been introduced to them by the 30 minute mark, not the hour and ten minute mark. Their limited screen time hurt their presence. We should've had more scenes of Skar King being an oppressive tyrant but also an intelligent force, and Shimo being tortured by him and having flashbacks of her alliance with Godzilla, so it builds up her eventual redemption by the end

I am a writer and I write about darkness and Vampires for they are my world, I also love Godzilla, and these sorts of stuff written by these critics are totally nonsense. I have some words to say these critics: 1- They love to see some real life drama, super sad things that would make them cry and they would walk out of the movie theater and began yapping, nonstop, how great the movie was, the more suffering they see a human being undergoes the more they like it. 2- In their infinitesimal minds they can't understand supernatural, imagineay characters can and do have their own soul and character to them anything that is not a slice of life is junk and they intentionally go and watch it to come utter bad thing about them, remember the critic from Birdman power of ignorance? In the end, we Godzilla fans will always love Godzilla, we are the ones that create Fantasy stories, movies, and make them great... our world is far more beautiful than their small world, and that 93 percent cab testify on that... I have not watched it yet but I can say it is a wonderful movie and the fact you have given it 8 out of 10 shows how great this movie is. I just hope in the end Godziall is safe for that is the red line for me :)

I really liked it. Adam did a great job again. My only issue again was it's really a Kong movie with Big Z as an afterthought. It did make me like Kong even more, which is great. But If there is a 3rd movie it better be with Godzilla as the main story. I understand kong is more relatable but Godzilla had less screen time in this movie than all of his previous movies. Need the 3rd movie to be someone godzilla needs help with and recruits kong, shimo, and mothra to help him. I can think of 2 villians that can fit. One is from space, the other created when they used the oxygen destroyer weapon in King of the monsters

DANGERVILLE IS THE BEST GODZILLA CHANNEL FOR A REASON!!! THIS MOVIE WAS PEAK!! Critics, Minus One Fans, and Grifters like Moon, Doktor Skipper, and now seemingly others (some should automatically come to mind) have no bearing or overall relevance in the overall fandom. Screw all these people, long live Godzilla and long live KING FREAKING KONG🔥🔥

The audience rocks🤘🏻

Just watched GxK and it was awesome. Definitely my favorite film in the Monsterverse now. Skar King’s entrance may be one of my favorite scenes in the whole franchise now. This was the film I was waiting for.

Who ACTUALLY liked the movie👇

Just saw it, and DAMN! This is probably the best movie of all time! The amount of monster action and screen time is INSANE! Critics will never understand any of these movies. Why the hell focus on the people when there is such a great amount of character development with Godzilla, Kong, Suko, and even Shimo! In my opinion, 1954/10

I’m going to be completely honest. I love Godzilla minus one, definitely one of the best in the franchise and one of the best films I’ve seen. But I hate what it has done for the future of the franchise. It has made a lot of people think that every film moving forward has to be another minus one. It just seems like people can’t see that these two films (Minus one and GXK) are supposed to be 2 completely different movies.

the way Godzilla was in GODMODE the whole movie, then Went Super Saiyan Rose.

I seen the movie my self, I was literally at the EDGE of my seat , and I was never big King Kong fan, but now he has a special place in my heart fr.

Who cares what the critics say? The movie isn’t meant to be some groundbreaking deep film like minus one, it’s supposed to be a good time. Which is succeeded in, that movie was lit

Bro the critics suck, this movie was so good! I was loving every bit of it, I wish the humans did have some better emotions but at the end of the day I'm here to see Kong fight a big monster with Godzilla! Go watch this movie now!!!!

So wait, a giant monster movie that was made solely for entertainment didn't do well with professional critics? Why is that a problem?

bro it was only 2 hours...? it felt like 4 years... best 4 years of my life ngl

Where they even watching the film? This was an amazing showcase of how the Showa era was fun despite certain story aspects being off like why does jia need to be present for mothra to be reborn simple really to give the humans an objective to make their presence needed, I’ve spoken on this matter in a review on my channel, I’m just so happy this film is doing so well and I pray for more monsterverse goodness

This movie was so good

I just watched it last night and I Loved it. I can't wait for them to continue with the Godzilla storyline that will introduce more of the other Titans and maybe see the aliens introduced followed by Space Godzilla. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Just got out a few hours ago. LOVED IT!

Only problem with the film is that they keep focusing on king and gets more screen time I really want Godzilla to get the respect he deserves and gets a background and story about godzilla

As Promised, alister, we have assembled and thus far 8M overnight and climbing! We begin the full on theater event...NOW!! Again i thank you all so much

Amazing analysis again.

The critics score is just an example of why nobody actually gives a shit about most movies getting Oscar awards. And movies that people actually like rarely win award

Ask those critics to make a movie on their own and they'll probably sh*t their pants. These guys are like cheap food citics, don't even know how to make food beyond instant noodles but go on to criticize food made by actual chefs.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but regarding Odie's review, apparently, Kong and Mini Kong are very expressive and convey emotions and communicate without words. Odie's review isn't just biased against the film, it's ignoring the acting the monsters did.

Soulless? Are u kidding me did they not see suko? Also daug stole kongs dinner hahaha legend!!!

Them critics be like 80 yrs and don’t know what good movies are

Best MV movie!

3:34 soulless is just another buzzword now

I’m watching again tomorrow with my AMC-A list in IMAX.🔥🍿 man the first time I took my niece on friday everyone in my theater had a BLAST throughout the 2nd half🤣🤣 ..I enjoyed the vibes so ima use my pass for another experience 👏🏾👏🏾

Screw critics rating. If you are up for big monster fights, this is the best in the entire monsterverse, of course without spoiling anything.

Saw it in IMAX 3-D. Was exactly what I expected. Fun titan brawling. Lots of action. Fast paced. ✌🙂👍

I’m really disappointed that people are giving it low ratings.. after Adam worked so damn hard and no one likes it how it is

So with the New Planet of the Apes Movie coming out later this year. Did this effect your view of the whole Kong & Scar King dynamic and fight scenes. The scene when Kong first discovers the Scar King I almost hoped they would start talking? Lol. Still Loved ❤❤❤ the movie as a whole.

I saw the movie in 3D, and it showed the movie coming out of the screen feeling like it was in front of you to touch the monsters and watch them fly into your lap

1. godzilla KOTM 2. godzilla x kong 3. godzilla vs kong in my POV

I think it was a solid 8/10 i wish there was a little more run time for the final battle to be a bit longer

I think it's cause Godzilla X Kong was made for your average film viewer to enjoy, not for someone who is deeply interested in films, if you wanted a movie with lots of crazy atmosphere or deep meanings go watch All Quiet on the Western Front, which is a great movie! Godzilla X Kong is just made for pure enjoyment.

I loved it. Sure, I'm a massive kaiju fan, but that's exactly who this movie was made for. These are the kind of movies you will come back to in 10-20 years from now for a dopamine boost. Films like Rocky IV, Killer Klownz From Outer Space, and Big Trouble in Little China are by no means cinematic masterpieces, but they will always have audiences coming back thanks to how fun and entertaining they are.

Hi dangerville

Man i love the New intro

I absolutely LOVED this movie. Watched it with my fiancée and had an absolute blast. The only thing I didn’t like was how fast paced the whole thing was, wish the film itself could have been a bit longer to maybe settle all that but I had fun nonetheless. I’m definitely rewatching this one multiple times haha!

Awesome review Brother Alistar!!😊. and thanks for pointing the crazy critics who likely are paid shills by a rival studio in many a case. Some of this critics need to be just erased from ones memory banks. Lol This film was wonderful. Only gripe is more freaking godzilla!! I loved it also showed alot of how powerful Godzilla is and more on kongs new life and had heart and alot of comedy( especially with a little kong and the fights heh). Definitely the best enjoyable popcorn blockbuster film ive seen this year. I give it 7.8 -8 out of 10 . I'll likely go watch one more time. I now need to see godzilla minus one.😊 what wonderful yr for the monster genre and the absolute king and icon of monsters. .......GODZILLA IS BACK!!❤🎉

Honestly with all due respect alastor you can have any opinion about the movie you want but I don't like how you praised all of the positive reviews and just bashed the negative ones just because they disagreed with what you were saying. Just because the film is "fun" and is made for "Kaiju fans" doesn't absolve the movie of valid criticism. Furthermore "if you didn't like the movie then why did you see it?" Is also a stupid thing to say because you often find things that you like through watching things that you don't like and vice versa. "Don't like, don't watch" is not a valid counter to constructive criticism towards something you like. This should be a lesson that not everyone wants to turn their brains off to enjoy something and that just because what they're saying may SEEM stupid on the surface to some people doesn't invalidate their thoughts. You should form your own opinions around the film but telling people to not listen to certain reviews from other people just because you don't like said reviews is kinda childish in my opinion and only further reinforces a toxic echo chamber filled with nothing but the same thoughts and opinions surrounding a certain topic.

Legitimately the most fun I’ve had watching a movie

Im fine with the tone and craziness this movie had, bit i think they should start bringing it back to the vibe king of monsters had

The way kong, baby kong built there relationships was great, i felt like i understood them communicating with each other without them talking, same with godzilla and mothra and the rest of the characters. It was freaking awesome, especially in 3d.
