Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - 2024

 

Genre:  Action, Sci-fi

Rating:  PG-13

Synopsis: Godzilla and the almighty Kong face a colossal threat hidden deep within the planet, challenging their very existence and the survival of the human race.

***

I’m going to be a little hard on this movie considering we have had a few over the recent years and they all seem to suffer from similar issues. 

Yes, this movie has both Kong and Godzilla doing what they do alone until they need to reunite and battle a greater enemy…again. However, like previous ones, this one is focused more on Kong. Which is fine, but give him the respect he deserves and give him his own movie. 

With that being said Kaylee Hottle as Jia stole the show for me as far as the humans go. Her acting is pretty amazing to watch and her relationship with Kong makes for the best parts of the show. It is always good to see Dan Stevens so watching him as Trapper was a treat. And the returning mom of Jia, Rebecca Hall as Dr. IIene Andrews played the part perfectly. I really felt their emotions throughout. 

You guys know by now that I’m a sucker for creatures and with two Titans headlining there was no shortage of them here. I loved each design and the introduction of Suko was perfect. With so many creatures the individual fights and final battle were amazing and mostly made up for the other stuff.

I also liked the storylines involving all the characters, as they played out beautifully and wrapped up nicely at the end. However, I think this should have been a Kong movie. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, I did like this movie and will own it as I love the characters. I understand the need to put them in the same movie as Godzilla doesn’t speak, and with both of them, you reach a wider audience. However, this movie, in my opinion, would have been better if they had called it a Kong movie, used the same storyline, and then had Godzilla cameo at the end for the final battle. 

Score: 7.5 out of 10. Recommend if you love Kong and Godzilla. 

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Teen Wolf: The Movie 2023

Image
  Genre:  Drama, Fantasy, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced. Being a huge fan of the TV show I was looking forward to this as I was intrigued as to what my favorite supernatural beings were up to and what they would face.  Honestly, for the villain of the story, I was somewhat confused by the choice, especially with the fact that the character highly connected to it in many ways, was missing entirely. Now I know that not all actors want to return for a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or whatever, however with this...

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous - Season 5 - Netflix Original

Image
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction Rating: TV PG Synopsis: Teens attending an adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar must band together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc on the island. Previous seasons do need to be watched to understand the relationships between the group and what they've been through so far.  If you've seen the Jurassic World movies, including the most recent it will add some missing details but it's not necessary to watch them before.  I would recommend watching the Jurassic World Dominion movie before the last episode so that some revelations during the show will make sense and will avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.  Season 5 is the last season so it had high expectations to finish with a bang and wrap up any loose ends. With a total of  12 episodes, this time around I did think it was the perfect amount, with the exception of Episode 5 which I thought was pretty much a filler.  Worse: ...

Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022

Disney Plus Mini-Series  Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction Rating: TV 14 Synopsis:  Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over young Luke Skywalker and evades the Empire's elite Jedi hunters during his exile on the desert planet Tatooine. The trend of only a few episodes for an entire season continues. This show had only 6 episodes and, unlike Stranger Things, these are very short ones at that. The first episode is the longest at around 50 minutes and it is the only one that long.  On the upside, there are great creatures and each actor brought their A-game to the show. The storyline also worked well and for the most part, it flowed very well.  Bad writing made it suffer greatly. As in the same exact sentence from the same character at least 3 times for the same situation. Another example is interrogating a small child under 12 years old as they are bound to have the best intel on rebels. Really writers? I mean come on.  Sadly the epic moments we were wait...
