KONG: SKULL ISLAND (2017) MOVIE REACTION - MONSTERVERSE HAS BEGUN! - First Time Watching - Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2024
- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Kong: Skull Island (2017). The King is here! Although by the end of this movie it is revealed to us he is not indeed the only King out there...ehem Godzilla.
King Kong's return was more than we could ever have hoped for. Filled with jaw-dropping visuals, heart-pounding action, and the mysteries of an unexplored island this movie had more to offer than we anticipated.
Starring Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, and Samuel L. Jackson, "Kong: Skull Island" takes us to the mysterious Skull Island, where prehistoric creatures and the legendary King Kong reign supreme. The film had a thrilling narrative that kept us engaged throughout and they did so much heavy lifting in this in terms of world building that truly caught us off guard.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's potential impact on the MonsterVerse movies, its nods to the King Kong legacy, and the mesmerizing moments that make "Kong: Skull Island" our favorite film in the saga yet!

Hi guys, pleas react to “Alexandr 2004” and “The Crow 1994”
Godzilla king of monster movie reaction please my friend 💓💖💗💞🤝
Please react to Godzilla: King of the Monsters
You guys should rewatch the opening and outro credits and ending scenes for hidden content and there's hidden content in this as well
Drunken fist master
Skull Island is how i picture the majority of the wildlife in Australia.
Facts 😂😂😂
Stay away from the paddocks!!! Them sheep only seem friendly!!
imagine a kaiju-sized cassowary
Have caution the kangaroos here are scary and koalas very dangerous
And the Amazon rain forest in South America with massive bird eating spiders, jaguars, poisonous frogs and such and then the amazon river with sharks, rays, gators, piranhas and all kinds of things, place is Australia on steroids
I just can't get over the scene of Kong standing up with the Sunset in the foreground, such a beautiful shot.
I absolutely agree with you! That is a standout shot I reference in the discussion because it's by far one of the most awesome shots in this film!
very APOCALYPSE NOWish cinematography@@OfficialMediaKnights
Almost like “Apocalypse Now”. Pretty appropriate. The music blasting from the helicopters… etc etc. Beautifully done!!
Edit.. When I wrote this comment I didn’t know that the nods to “Apocalypse Now” were deliberate. Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director, actually said that he wanted to make “Apocalypse Now” with King Kong.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsalso if your gonna be watching more of the Monsterverse I recommend you even watch the TV shows too and even the comics that’s right the Monsterverse also has comics and Tv shows that are important to the lore
Here’s the entire Monsterverse franchise in chronological order that you should watch
Godzilla: Awakening (Comic)
Kong: Skull Island (Movie)
Skull Island (Netflix TV Series)
Skull Island: The Birth Of Kong (Comic)
Godzilla 2014 (Movie)
Godzilla: Aftershocks (Comic)
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV Series)
Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (Movie)
Kingdom: Kong (Comic)
Godzilla: Dominion (Comic)
Godzilla Vs Kong (Movie)
Godzilla X Kong: The Hunted (Comic not released yet)
Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (Movie not released yet)
@@OfficialMediaKnights be sure to watch the post credit scenes
Hands down, best post credit sequence I’ve seen. I saw this in the theater and the audience went nuts during the whole thing. Godzilla’s roar was awesome to hear…
That post credit scene gave us chills! And the fact that they delivered on their promise was chef's kiss 😘🤌
@@OfficialMediaKnights The biggest complaint I hear about Godzilla 2014 was people wanted to see more of Godzilla. The producers on this one said ‘More monsters? We can do that…’
Awesome reaction guys. Can’t wait to see the next one.
@@benhairston1434yeah legendary pictures really do listen to their audience
@@benhairston1434 honestly, for me it was perfect that we see less of Gojira in the 2014 movie, it remind me of Cloverfield.
@@benhairston1434what I find funny is the critics got all pissy with KOTM and GvK, and fans were still somehow mixed despite both delivering on the desire of more fighting
Also watching 14 nowadays can feel a little disappointing with how little there is, but back then it’s what made it work. Godzilla as a franchise was near dead, making the buildup to his reveal so big left a way bigger impact than a quick intro like KOTM. It made him cool again.
Also it was 2014, the lack of major scenes was likely why the cgi still looks perfect today.
Lol, "man disturbing nature" and blah, blah, blah but as soon as nature is a giant spider "KILL IT WITH FIRE!". I choked on my drink right there.
In my defense I have a bias against spiders 😂
@@OfficialMediaKnights 1000% with ya on that one! Only spider I wouldn't stomp on is Spider-Man.
@@OfficialMediaKnights I recommend you react to Godzilla Aftershocks it’s actually a comic but I believe there is some RUclips videos that show the full comic which this comic takes a few months after Godzilla 2014 and it’s important to lore
Lol I mean that's like getting mad at going to a dangerous place where giants live and getting mad it kills you and your team for blowing it up 😂 lmao
@@stevenjump8234prejudiced
Notice that the actor who plays Marlow's son when he returns home at the end of the movie, is the same actor who plays Marlow himself during WW II at the start of the movie.
Kong is a protector. Godzilla is nature's weapon not good or bad just necessary while only being dangerous according to who's involved.
One is King of Hollow Earth. And one is King of the Monsters.
*Fun Fact:* The reason why Lt. Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) shot Mother Longlegs (the bamboo spider) so many times even after it was beaten wasn't to avoid any offspring, it was to showcase his already intense hatred for every creature here on the island thanks to his encounter with Kong, despite him and his troups being the intruder in this scenario.
It highlights humans can fit the idea of a monster just as much as these creatures (if not even more).
Another example of this which i think fits in with your comment, is a quote from Dr. Wu in Jurassic World;
"To a canary, a cat is a monster. Were just used to being the cat"
It's nature. It's time modern society grows up and realizes that nature is war. It is brutal, an endless fight for survival. Who the intruder happens to be is irrelevant. All that matters is who wins. Humans are no worse than any other species.
@@jacobwalsh1888 Alright then, we're record holders in putting species on the extinction list and put the planet's climate completely out of balance. Go us. 👏
We've literally escaped the food chain by means of intelligence and sociality. We have no reason anymore to fight brutally for survival like we used to. We have gotten more control and influence on this planet than any other species.
Why not try to sustain our prosperous circumstances by keeping species alive and around and looking for positive ways to influence the planet we're literally sitting on?
this doesnt make him a monster. this was self defense and vengeance. completely normal
@@jacobwalsh1888 no point saying worse or better. there is no such concept in the fight for survival. tho humans will emerge as the apex predators each time, no matter the size. bcos we are social beings, more so then any other species and smarter than any other as well.
Fun fact:
For the opening it was originally planned to have a member of Kong’s species to show up that looked almost exactly like the Peter Jackson version before being shot. Then when it died, the real 100+ foot tall Kong would show up but the higher ups at Universal told the director he couldn’t do that.
Finally a decision from the execs I agree with. Doing that would've just unnecessarily pissed off all of the fans from Jackson's iteration.
John C Reilly, who played the WW2 pilot, was also in Marvel movies...Guardians of the Galaxy...he played a Nova Corps officer
Also there is Cassie in this, he is in Loki s1 and s2,
With the cutest little daughter too!
Can't believe this movie is 7 years old now! I still remember watching this back in theaters, it was a fun experience!
Damn right! It came out on my birthday back in 2017 and i fucking loved it in theaters
This movie combined Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), and John C. Reilly (Corpsman Rhomann Dey) from the MCU in a non-MCU movie. I loved it.
Might as well rename the monsterverse to Monster Cinematic Universe to cause even more confusion >:)
might as well add casey from loki in this too
Kong is just canon in the MCU for me :D
this is a better MCU (monster cinematic universe) than the marvel garbage.
The only thing that ruined it was having woke Larson in it.
49:40 I love how we all made Kratos jokes at this scene and then as the Monsterverse went on Kong just got more and more Kratos-y. Now he's got an axe and a beard and his own little mini Kong to call Boy 😂
That line John Goodman's character says about needing a military escort hits different now after watching Monarch. He already lost his wife and best friend. He knows better than the soldiers accusing him later about what they're risking. The fact he still does it, it's no wonder his son doesn't trust Kurt Russel later.
It also creates a more in depth reflection on John's motivation. His recruitment scene with Tom shows his obsession has made him into a man on a mission. He's got nearly nothing else left to lose and he's still pushing. Downright persuasive. It's proof of the Titans that will keep their dream alive, but that dream(according to him) KILLED his family. Imagine still pushing to find and explore a world of monsters because your psychosis demands you find the truth at all costs, even when your psyche is breaking down over the very lives they took from you.
Agreed watching this again after watching monarch give this movie even more depth
It really does. I was putting off watching Monarch, Legacy of Monsters becuase I really like the new Godzilla universe and didn't want to be disappointed. When I started watching it got hooked and enjoyed the series
It also gives you a tragic realization that he kept searching for answers, because he needed to know what happened to Lee. When Keiko died, he could accept it, he was okay, he at least had answers that monsters killed her. But Lee just disappeared and no one was allowing him to find answers. He went to Skull Island for Lee. He died risking everything to search for answers for Lee.
Spoilers bro
fun fact: this kong was still a teenage boy. in the godzilla vs kong he got a lot bigger.
This is not the same king Kong
Don't you realize this is a remake from godzilla vs Kong.
Not from the Original king Kong
@@DavidFredrick-lm6pq tf you talking about??
Jackson’s character here represents an obsession with war, and in the end that obsession led to so many pointless deaths.
when Loki and Captain Marvel join forces against Nick Fury and other Kaijus.
At the End you said you wanted the backstory of John C Reilly’s stranded pilot character… in 1968 Hell in the Pacific was released starring The greatest Tough guy of Cinema Lee Marvin as a WWII soldier stranded on an uninhabited island with only his enemy played by the legendary Toshira Mifune. There’s barely any dialogue due to the language barrier but I think you’d like it.
>Toshiba Mifune
Suprised Kurosava is not the director
@@vladislavivanov2334 that would be interesting.
It’s directed by John Boorman who also Directed classics like Point Blank, Deliverance, Zardoz and Excalibur
There's also one the soldiers played by Eugene Cordero, who plays Casey on "Loki".
11:45 OHHHH YEAH. I used to live in mid-central Florida and would stand out in the field watching towering thunderclouds pile up miles away over the Gulf of Mexico. It was amazing. And when the rain came, it was torrential. One of my favorite memories is the time a passing shower stopped overhead and had a distinct _border_ rather than tapering off. For about three minutes, you could step between "drenched" and "bone dry." Freakin' _Bugs Bunny_ weather.
Funfact! the actor that played chapman did the motion capture for KONG! and He's the actor that played/did the motion capture for KOBA in the planet of the apes movies!
Toby Kebbell is a great actor! Been keeping an eye out for his work ever since we watched "The Servant"
The Monsterverse Godzilla is described as "a force of nature." Kong, on the other hand, is described as John McClain from Die Hard. And I can see it.
And if you like the cast here, they dial it up to "Eleven" in the next movie.
I see what you did there!
That post credit scene is why I enjoyed watching the entirety of King Kong Skull Island and Godzilla, just watching their back stories and realizing they'll be fighting each other just kept amping me up!!!
I got to see Peter Jackson's King Kong in the theater in 2005 when I was 6. It's still the best King Kong movie ever made in my opinion.
Denise has been telling me to watch this! A lot of people are saying to them that is the best iteration of King Kong. Can't wait to check it out!
@@OfficialMediaKnights
As an aficionado of venerable old movies (and if I may be so bold as to speak in the place of a LOT of my fellows) then please, _please_ permit me to recommend that you react first to the original *King Kong* from 1933. Following which, you then react to its sequel, *Son of Kong,* which was rushed through production and came out the same year.
Why go to these lengths, you ask? First of all, and most importantly, the first movie is still a whole lot of fun for being ninety years old; it was really and truly the *Star Wars* of its time in its impact on the viewing public. Second of all, almost no other significant reactors have dared to tackle the first movie, and it bloody well _deserves_ a major reacting-to. Third of all, although the sequel wasn't given a budget that could let it measure up to the original, it's still very important to see for its contribution to the tale of Carl Denham's character. And, fourth and last of all, having seen the two earlier works will help you - ten times over - to fully appreciate what Maestro Jackson brought to his remake.
And you'll wish, just as I have, that he would have gone on to remake *Son of Kong* as well, because it could have been (and pardon the Anglo-Saxon) *BLOODY FUGGING AWESOME!!!* 😎
@OfficialMediaKnights After you get through Godzilla King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong PLEASE do Peter Jackson’s King Kong from 2005. It’s a standalone remake of the original 1930s King Kong and an absolute stunningly beautiful tribute to Kong(maybe the extended edition which is great if Denise has seen the theatrical edition). Can’t recommend it enough
@@OfficialMediaKnights
With the greatest possible respect to my fellow poster, I submit that it would be much better for your audience's edification, as well as your own, to undertake to heed my advice and see the original and its sequel before Mr. Jackson's admittedly magnificent remake. To repeat and stress my points, they're astounding in their own right, they really do deserve it, and they'll greatly enhance your appreciation of the more recent film. I *beseech* you, take this recommendation seriously. 🥺
I went to the theatres twice to see the Peter Jackson version. The second time was to see if I hated it as much as I thought, or if I was maybe just in the wrong headspace. But that second time I left half halfway through. Now the 1933 version I've happily watch over and over.
Tony Kebell, who portrayed Chapman, also did the motion capture for Kong.
He was also Dr. Doom in the recent Fantastic Four movie (2015).
He was also great as Durotan in the Warcraft movie.
@@6kembe4orba Since they're going with a trend of mo-cap / CGI-driven films, Warcraft could be something they'll enjoy.
His name is “Toby Kebbell”.
he played koba in planet of the apes.
The writers of this movie actually listened to the criticisms of Godzilla 2014, and just addressed them immediately. Instead of waiting till halfway thru to show the monster, they reveal him right away. Instead of keeping the fights at night in the rain, they put them right out in broad daylight. Instead of cutting away, they stay with the fight all the way thru. Not to mention just crafting a visual masterpiece. I like what you said, "This movie didn't have to go this hard." Exactly. Can't wait for you two to see the next few movies, 'cause they just get crazier from here. Enjoy! :)
Hey the 2005 King Kong film is AMAZING. It’s worth getting around to someday. It’s a great remake of the original and an improvement on it.
Watched the original and really enjoyed it so I'm definitely excited to see Peter Jackson's work!
You know you done messed up, when someone throws a tree at you.
😆
I got goosebumps hearing Godzilla’s roar at the end in theaters and I still got it to this day
I am disabled with chronic pain and I discovered your channel about a month ago. Hubby and I have been enjoying your reactions so much. You help keep a smile on my face and some days thats a hard thing to do, but y'all manage to get one out of me every time. 😊 Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow, if y'all celebrate.
I would love to see you guys watch the 2005 King Kong. Hands down one of the best King Kong movies
The fight scenes were epic and cinematic.... just what I wanted from this movie. The added creepy crawlies made it even more fun. All hail King Ghidorah!!
Ghidorah...?
@@kathrynhoward4196 __
@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim I love that movie.
@@kathrynhoward4196 From your question, it seems like you don't know who Ghidorah is.
But you should if you saw King of the Monsters.
I do know who Ghidorah is. The image was in the post credit scene. As far as I'm concerned, Ghidorah is King and my favorite ❤️
Can't wait for you guys to watch Godzilla: King of the Monsters. On top of that i really appreciate you reacting to so many 80s and 90s movies. I dont think ive ever seen anyone do that, at least not at a scale you guys did it. I wish there were more movies like that nowadays where you can just turn your brain off and still have tons of fun with them.
Sometimes you just need some movies to sit back, relax and have a blast and all of these films thus far have provided excellent entertaining value 😁Thank you for watching our reactions. It means a lot to both of us!
Yes, the second movie of the Monster Verse! Your enthusiasm when watching this makes me want to run to the DVD cabinet and pop the disc in right away. Be sure to watch every movie all the way through the end credits. They all have hints, clues etc hidden away in them. These movies are so well done and enjoyable!
My favorite Kong Movie since the Jeff Bridges one, thanks
The "it sounds like a bird but it's an ANT" thing is probably a reference to the 1954 film "THEM!"- which features American scientists encountering gigantic radioactive ants. One of the Wests' early takes on the kaiju mythos.
I love how this film goes so hard then makes you cry in the credits!!! I love this film
One of the bests Kong movies for sure, another one you should have a look at is the Peter Jackson one...not part of this Monarch line, but still one of the bests Kong movies too.
John C Reilly character wanting to know if the cubs won the World Series made me laugh so hard, as a chicago native its that naive optimism of hope
That whole end credit scene reaction definitively deserves a like 👍🏽
Kong is reasonably young I suppose at this point. But he is such a beast, yet protects the small vulnerable ppl. Interesting dynamic.
Cinematography this film is amazing
Yes Kong is by far the best story/characters in the Monsterverse movies so far. Unless Legendary buys or pays Universal a fee, Kong will never be referred to as " King Kong ". Universal owns the rights to the name KING KONG. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is my favorite by far in the Monsterverse. If the villians motivations are unclear to you pay extra attention to the closing credits . They give you a lot of info as to the after effects of KOTM. Also, your excitement for seeing a certain monster in KOTM will not disappoint!
Love this movie!
My parents and I saw this in the theater and we loved it!
This was the first and only Monsterverse film to be nominated for Best Visual Effects.
I love how Kong rips out that one Skullcrawler's guts, much to the disgust of the human visitors.
Side note: It's hilarious to hear Samuel L. Jackson say "Bitch, please!!" 😁😂😭
B*tch Please was hilarious! For sure one of the writers heard Samuel was gonna be in it and through it in there.
@@OfficialMediaKnights
That wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the case. 😂🤣
I love how the creatures of Skull Island are all a combination of fauna and plant life (With the exception of Kong and the Skull Crawlers)
I just had to say thank y'all for reminding how amazing this movie is! I recently found this channel and have blasted through dozens of your reviews already haha wonderful content! :D I'm a die hard Godzilla fan as well and after the 2014 release, it truly was a breath of fresh air when Kong came through in 2017. So many things to like about the start of the monster-verse, but I think a huge majority can agree this brighter and more monster focused direction was absolutely the better choice. This film flippin rocks!
HOLY COW THE OLD GUY IS THE VOICE OF SULLY IN MONSTERS INC. I knew I recognized his voice
One thing I've appreciated about the way legendary has curated its current monster verse is that it has paid respect to the themes that Touhou was trying to get across with the original Godzilla.
In Western Nations it tends to be man over nature we are in control.
In the end we beat the monster with human ingenuity.
The way they treat Godzilla in the Eastern Nations like Japan is more or less Godzilla is a balancing mechanism of nature.
I hope you all continue on with the monster verse. I'm enjoying your reactions quite a bit.
You guys are hands down without a doubt my new favorite way to re-watch movies that I love! Watching the experience of these movies through your eyes is an absolute joy and a movie all in itself. You're absolutely at the top of the list of content creators who I would give a million dollars to if I won the powerball! Keep it up!!
"KING KONG AIN'T GOT SH*T ON ME!!!!"
- Alonzo Harris, Training Day
My response- Well if that's the case, Alonzo, take a trip to Skull Island and tell him yourself.🤣
Lifelong monster movie fan here. Godzilla is my favorite. I've only had 2 nightmares about a monster. It was King Kong. It was night, in the downtown area, nobody around but me. I could hear Kong down the street, I knew he was mad and I knew he was after me. It sounds silly but it was terrifying.
Great reactions, you two. ❤
The Monarch legacy of monsters has the younger version of Bill Randa John Goodman in it because it jumps around in the timeline
King Kong tried to give the skull creeper the people's elbow against the mountain lol
I found you guys on accident just a few days ago and I have to tell you, I'm so happy I did. I watch a pretty decent handful of reaction channels but you guys have such amazing synergy and energy on camera. Your thoughts and interests in movies are so methodical and on point. I started with the Logan/Deadpool journey and since then I've fallen into the rabbit hole. I'm so hyped for you guys to continue through your Monsterverse journey! 🤩
i really hope you guys react to Shin Gojira one day , for me is one of the best Godzilla movies!
Ooh, King of the Monsters is next and it's my favorite! The director of Kong: Skull Island is a big nerd, there are a couple of video game related things I noticed and probably more, like Skull Island has a mountain that looks like the mountain from Journey, the military has patches that look like the tri-force from Zelda, the planeboat is named after Gray Fox from Metal Gear Solid, Kong fights with the ship rotors like in God of War etc. Jordan Vogt-Roberts has been in the helm of a Metal Gear Solid movie for a while, but it's stuck in development hell sadly,. Last time I heard they hired Oscar Isaac to play Solid Snake.
Big lessons to learn here (unfortunately mankind gets a D minus in learning). The portrayal of the natives and their ingenious existence was absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for more adventures.
I enjoy you two soo much... why? Because you two tell us the behind the scenes of movie making... I have learned so much from you... and your chemistry is perfect... thank you both! Keep up the great work!
The tree through the helicopter was the best bit.
My favorite monstervers movie great cast fantastic action and the post credit scene, teasing king of the monsters gave me goosebumps
Yes, they did tease Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra. Kong: Skull Island was a very pleasant surprise. I was unsure about them going further back in time, but it was so well done. Creature design was absurdly good in this as were the fight scenes. So many shots were gorgeous. And the reveal at the end blew my mind too. Ghidorah is my favorite antagonist for Godzilla as I saw him early on when I was a kid. Just wait until you see King of the Monsters and then what you get with Kong vs. Godzilla. The lore gets so much deeper.
Your reactions are delightful, but your commentary was really insightful. Looking at it from the perspective of film makers, you help me appreciate elements of this movie I hadn't considered before.
If you react to the next film in the Monsterverse series, King of the Monsters, it's loaded with familiar elements and Easter eggs for long-time Godzilla fans.
I felt like a kid at a theme park with KOTM! Thank you for watching these with us, you guys are awesome!
I think the biggest lesson they took from Godzilla and applied to this movie is to put the monster a little more front and centre and on screen more. In my opinion they pulled it off brilliantly. Not that the 'obscured partially shown' monster approach doesn't work but I really appreciate how in the Monsterverse movies they've managed to pull them out of the shadows.
Often the monsters in movies are a part of the environment in which the human story is set (Godzilla took this approach to some degree). This movie puts the Monster more central to the plot and out in the open and I love it.
As a fellow King Kong fan, I think you will appreciate how vulnerable they have always made him to gunfire where Godzilla is impervious to almost anything
We finally get to see Kong strong and not vulnerable to guns
I just binged your Loki Season 2 reaction like an hour ago. Loved it. And now we get to see more Tom Hiddleston reaction! This might sound corny but you both help me get me through my day. Thank you.
This put a smile on our faces. It doesn't sound corny at all! Before having this incredible platform we too logged on YT to blow off some steam especially after some very rough times. It's what inspired us to do this in the first place. Hearing you say that we can provide you with some comfort truly warms our hearts. Thank you ❤️
Can’t wait for yall to watch the next movie in monsterverse, it’s amazing, Godzilla vs Kong is wonderfully done as well
This is one of my favorite movies. As a little boy in the late 70's/early 80's, I grew up with both Kong and Godzilla. They were an amazing part of my childhood. This is one of four movies that Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson have been in together. One thing I loved that was done with Brie Larson's character, Mason Weaver, was the camera she used. That was not a prop camera but a real camera with real film. Brie Larson was actually taking pictures and developing the pictures herself. I thought that was pretty cool. I also have a painting I bought online of the scene where Mason is up close to Kong and touching his face. As a Veteran, I love the end with Marlowe returning home to his wife and son. That was beautiful. Looking forward to your reactions to the other films set in the Monsterverse.
This is simply the best film in the Monsterverse and I feel it doesn't get enough credit.
I love y’all’s reactions more than anyone else by far! Very excited for y’all to go through the next two movies in the Monsterverse. Ive said before here I’m a life long Godzilla fanatic. I go back and forth between Godzilla 2014 and King of the Monsters, but i can safely say King of the Monsters is my favorite in this universe thus far. I love all of them. Literally i love them all. But thats my favorite. Glad y’all are having a blast with these movies.
You can tell exactly in the movie when Sam Jackson's character goes crazy. This was so amazing in the theater
i love how this film was shot between the color patterns and the action sequences. it's just a well made action adventure film. what i love more about this film compared to the other monsterverse films is that you can actually see the action go down, whether it's with kong or the other creatures on skull island, i can fully see what's happening.
the godzilla film (2014) frustrated me so much b/c every time i wanted to see the action happen, it would cut right away or it was just too dark to see anything or it spent too much time showing from the human povs. imagine watching this in an actual theater on a wide screen and you're still having issues seeing what was happening. that alone made me want a refund after watching that film.
to me, this is the best film in the monsterverse and i'm bias b/c kong is my favorite. gorillas are 1 of my favorite animals so naturally i have an attachment. i love the theme of nature vs man in this film. yet, ppl still never learn their lesson regardless of what's happening.
Agreed on being able to see what's going on! I'll actually delve into this topic a little more during our King of the Monsters reaction discussion. Where I talk about how you can tell they implemented a lot of the notes the fans had given them after 2014.
Another King Kong remake to watch is the 1976 version, which stars Jeff Bridges. In this, Kong is roughly 170-180 feet tall. Besides the next two films, there are an animated Skull Island series and a live action series featuring Monarch
Begrudgingly, yes. The 1976 ''King Kong'' is significant. But a horrible movie. Its dialogue doesn't hold up, and it's annoying how two-dimensional the characters are.
Snarehunter Ants, also known as Singing Ants, are a gigantic insect species that were first mentioned in the 2017 MonsterVerse film, Kong: Skull Island. The species makes its first proper appearance in the tabletop game Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure. So the thing I first was a spider was actually an ant
I had to laugh so hard when u said: "When you know whats on the island." I was just like: "U know nothing Jon Snow." Love u reaction guys!
"We were just vibing!"
Bombing nature was vibing? 😂 😂 😂
Fun fact. The scene where “bamboo legs” skewers the guy through the mouth is, believe it or not, a Cannibal Holocaust Easter egg.
If you know, you know…
I previously commented that the rest of the monsterverse movies took a nosedive (mainly with the human aspect) but I forgot this movie and this one is just so fun.
I think there's a reason for it. We just finished watching all of them in preparation for the trailer tomorrow. And I have to say it looks like a reaction to all the criticisms 2014 got. The rest have human elements but it's clearly focused on the monsters. It's monsters first and humans to give exposition later. Yes it's a bit of a downgrade and that's what happens if you listen to your fans too closely. That being said the action and visuals moving forward are through the roof and worthy of a watch. If all you wanna see is Godzilla or Kong absolutely tearing sh*t up then you'll have fun with it.
@@OfficialMediaKnights You’re correct. I thought the visuals for King of the Monsters were spectacular. The birth of Rodan is incredible. But the humans were not great. First time I wasn’t into a Vera Farminga performance.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
100% team Kong. The 1933 film scare the socks off me when I was a kid. I was terrified that his fur moved in every frame. I know, I know... it really did a job on me though. There is nothing...NOTHING I would change in this show. Even the "Returning home" payoff at the end. It actually had me tearing up a little.
KONG!!!
John Goodman’s character Bill Randa’s story in this film has one hell of a huge recontextualization once you watch the show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. A younger Bill Randa appears in that show in one of the main storylines and you realize why he pushes so hard for this mission and for Monarch’s survival. It’s immensely tragic.
The fact that Suko is taller than the Kong is Skull Island is crazy!
43:10 roaring and backing into the fog triggered some nostalgia for me. I loved that little moment.
"No man comes home from war" is the best line in this movie. Three generations of my family served...and fought. My grandfather fought in WWII, my dad in Vietnam and I fought in the Iraqi war. My father and grandfather had bigger wars to fight after they came home though. We didn't fight giant apes or skullcrawlers but is was still a world of sh*t.
I love how you can tell that some of the shots in this movie are basically straight out of a comic book - Kong being lit by the sun behind him as the coptors fly towards him, Packard's and Kong's standoff with the fire billowing after Kong slams the coptor down on the ground, etc.
Tom Hiddleston in this just felt like Loki pretending to be Thor, and I have never been able to unsee it
I hope you guys are planning to see Monarch show. It explores the lore(like the science of hollow earth, how time works in hollow earth & also other Titans) even further
We're definitely gonna watch it! Still deciding on if we'll react to it or not!
@@OfficialMediaKnights please do! It's really good react materials, especially for reactors like you that really go in depth and talk about the filmmaking aspect.
man why you spoiled the word "hollow earth"?
@@mofgsh5 they have seen Godzilla KoM & Godziilla vs Kong
They have clarified that in other comments' replies
@@khagapatibisoi3835 ok didn't know that i have only watched not long ago
Thank you both for watching the Monsterverse. This franchise is so badass
If you guys liked Godzilla 14 and Kong Skull Island you're going to love Godzilla King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong. I hope you guys get those reactions out before Godzilla X Kong. I hope we all enjoy GXK. PS I'm a big Godzilla and King Kong fan. If you're going to react to Peter Jackson's King Kong I would recommend the extended version. Last thing. I've seen 20 to 25 Godzilla movies multiple times and I've think Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie of all time, can't wait for you to react to it
one of my favorite in theater audience moment, when the dude trying to self sacrifice got tail smacked like 15 people actually cracked up and one dude audibly yelled "HOLY SHIT", super unexpected with a movie like this
This one is still my favorite of the Monsterverse. The pacing, cinematography, CGI, and acting were all on point for me. I was never bored. King of the Monsters is my second fav, G v K is my third, and the 2014 Godzilla is fourth. I can't wait for the next one! So excited!
KONG is never the bad guy!
You guys really need to watch Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005). Done right after Lord of the RIngs, so he'd hit his stride. I've seen ever Kong movie I could get my hands on and Peter Jackson's version is hands down the best.
INSTANT sub. Love y'all calling out all the different shots and techniques being used! Can't wait to go watch your other reactions now!
Wow just in time for the trailer for the Godzilla x Kong trailer to drop tomorrow. Good timing guys 😎👍🏿👍🏿
We've finished watching all of them! Right on time for that new trailer 😁
@@OfficialMediaKnightsnice 😁👍🏿👍🏿
Theres a line that i absolutely love in this movie and is usually overlooked but its when Samuel L Jackson’s character says a camera is more deadly then a gun like its so true especially for nowadays cause a simple video or photo could change how everyone thinks about something and could be manipulated to control people
I really liked this King Kong movie when I saw it in threaters years ago, better than the original King Kong, shows more than just dino fights, we get to see Kong win this time and be seen as a hero. I like it.
mate...watching movies with you guys is so much fun..its like hanging out wiyh friends,,,
Even though I am a massive Godzilla fan I give my respects to Kong. Monster Verse Kong is my number one favorite version of Kong with Peter Jackson 2005 remake Kong being my second favorite version of Kong. 54:26
"Why would you immediately start shooting?"
Several minutes ago *tree and giant monkeh destroy Helicopters*.
The thing that you guys said was, the Cracken is actually called the Mire squid
