Godzilla VS Kong: The New Empire Teaser Released

it's not godzilla vs kong: The new empire. It's godzilla x kong: The new empire

It definitely feels like a Kong movie guest-starring Godzilla but I guess the last movie had Mechagdozilla so it's probably fair.

there's a mini kong.

I don't know, guys...I think it looks pretty uninteresting. I guess we'll see, though.

Yeah this portion of the franchise has lost me. I watched 2014’s Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island and though those were fine, but as soon as the focus became big-name monster battles my interest just vanished.

Maybe because the whole fun of Kaiju rumbles were rubber suits, practical effects and miniature work for me. CGI just doesn’t hit the same.

I think the CG Kaiju fights are pretty fun myself.

It's like Planet of the Apes meets Avatar, and I'm not sure if I like that comparison.

On the plus side, I love how Godzilla's new evolution feels like it's inspired by Godzilla 2000 and Shin to a lesser extent. Everything looks nice.

Buuuuut... I don't mean to be a doobie downer, but part of me is slightly concerned with how the Monsterverse will go down, since I haven't seen Monarch: Legacy of Monsters yet, but the Skull Island Animated Series was... Not good, to say the least.

I'm not trying to be negative about the Monsterverse, the idea's cool, but I really haven't been too impressed with some Hollywood in recent times. That and I wasn't a big fan of Godzilla Vs Kong, it was fun, but I think it's not that great. Yes, I absolutely enjoyed King of the Monsters (for the most part), and I am definitely more of a Japanese Godzilla fan, but I have concerns for future of the Monsterverse going forward. I also have Minus One fresh in my brain, and I have a hard time thinking this could top it. Maybe it will surprise me, and I don't want to be too negative, but I just can't shake this feeling when it comes to western media.

I'm with you in that I got into toku because I liked the suit work, but I think the CGI here is fine enough. I really enjoyed Godzilla '14 and Kong, found KOTM to be very underwhelming, and had slightly mixed but overall positive feelings on Godzilla vs Kong (I just wish it took itself a little more seriously...)

That said...

This is what does it for me. I'm really not a fan of this whole "center of the Earth" thing going on. It was my least favorite part of GvK, but it moved the plot forward so it was fine I guess...but obviously that was never going to be the end of it. This is now going to be the focus of the series moving forward and the source of many future monsters, and I just don't like it.

Hopefully I'm proven wrong and we end up with a solid adventure movie, but I'm just not feeling it right now.

Personally, I don't really like Hollywood Godzilla visually. It has a thick body and a small head. He's ugly and not scary-ugly like Shin Godzilla, just plain ugly.
