I’m on this Kong/Godzilla movie watch journey and while I was disappointed by the lack of Cranston/Binoche in the first flick I watched, this Tom Hiddleston/Samuel L joint is making me confident about this choice.

Killing off the Japanese soldier and making the native people “not talk that much” seems like a cheap way to ensure John C Riley never has any non-English dialogue.

Chapman making his way alone is really stressing me out.

[SPOILERS]

Never mind.

How is Kong vs Godzilla even a debate? Kong has pathos. The aurora in his eyes.

How many jump scares are they gonna do with random creatures attacking before these idiots stop wandering through open fields, playing loud music on rivers, and generally being stupid conspicuous?

They’re being so dumb they’re losing my respect. I’m now rooting for the lizard creature from stranger things.

Movie is 4/5 over and it’s the first time they’ve had Tom Hiddleston demonstrate any unique ability as a “tracker.”

This Black scientist guy and the Asian scientist girl have remained spotless like vintage J Crew models the whole film. No matter how much muck and lizard vomit they encounter.

If they want me to believe Larson and Hiddleston have chemistry they’re going to have to write it. Just repeatedly isolating two cis white people of the opposite sex in multiple scenes isn’t gonna cut it.

Him: wyd?
Her: just hanging out in a prehistoric jungle. HBU?

Lizard only having two legs feels like a design flaw. Also, Kong’s higher ape ability to use tools feels like a real underutilized opportunity.
