Fun and trash
14 May 2024
Look, nobody is watching these movies because they want water tight plots and engaging human stories. We're here because we want to see giant things smashing stuff up.

Movies like this are like a Big Mac. It's not real food but it has its place.

It is a whole load of silly, loud, goofy fun.

The opening of this movie sees Kong luring a pack of giant hollow earth hyena things into a complex mechanical trap. He then takes a shower after covering himself in the blood of one of those giant hyena things having torn it in half whilst letting out a trademark intimidating roar.

The first human moment sees Jia (the small girl from versus) having some psychic visions.

It is that ridiculous.

There was a "surprise" death that was possibly the most telegraphed in history and a scene where a monarch monitoring station, in hollow earth, has been destroyed. (Remember that hollow earth is huge, mostly uncharted and full of giant monsters) and the question is asked "What could have done this?" Giant mechanical arm ex machina. Loads of explanation for stuff we didn't ought to have figured out. Magic mind control. Magic gravity control.

There's a kind of anti gravity fight which is pretty decent and scenes of our favourite titans on Rio beach, Giza and even having a nap in Rome's Colloseum.

Honestly it's ridiculous. Ridiculous and very enjoyable.
