When it comes to the MonsterVerse, all I want is just a fun movie with amazing action sequences (of monsters, of course).
And boy, that movie delivered!!
This was made for IMAX. The scale and scope of this movie is insane. You can really feel the size of these monsters, especially Godzilla and Kong.
Yes, the story is pretty thin and nothing new, but it wasn’t boring, and above all – very fast-paced.
In fact, despite the fact that the movie is 115 minutes, it didn’t feel like it. These 2 hours flew by so fast!
In a world where people criticize VFX, this movie is a phenomenal example of VFX done right. The visual effects look amazing, and the composition is impressive and realistic.
The action sequences are so creative, with tons of interesting camera movements and choreographs. I felt like a kid!
Director Adam Wingard (who also directed the previous movie) really outdid himself. He made me feel in the middle of this enormous action!
Also, the cinematographer Ben Seresin also did a fantastic job.
I must say, the soundtrack by Tom Holkenbork and Antonio Di lorio was very electrifying!!
By the way, I actually cared about the human characters!
You have actors like Brian Tyree Henry, Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens (who stole the show), all of them were great.
People go to these movies for the monsters, not the humans, and the director clearly knew it – the monsters are the main focus, and they have real character arcs and emotions!!
So, should you see this movie?
If you want a fast 2 hours, full of adventures, mysterious worlds, funny characters, incredible action sequences, and above all, huge monsters – this is the movie for you!!
Just 2 hours of pure fun that will put a big smile on your face. Sometimes, that’s all we need!
Remember – IMAX is a must!!
