Title: The New King Kong

Anyone seen the New King Kong movie with Samuel Jackson? I've seen no reviews in this forum. Excuse me if I missed something..

I saw it too. I thought it was really pretty good. It's not the traditional Kong story and it's one of those "don't need to think too much" types, obviously.

No, it's called Kong: Skull Island. Way cooler then King Kong.

alright action as well but for me at least it was an atrocious waste of a ton of acting talent. I mean it's a King Kong movie so I know the 'story' isn't something that Shakespeare was supposed to write but for me I thought the movie was just 'blah'

But...I took my two oldest kiddos and they LOVED it so...it is what it is.

This is a helluva bump, but it was the only thread I could find 'dedicated' to the franchise, and since this is technically the same universe....

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV1OOlGwExM

Oh my god this looks so bad.  Like worse than Godzilla v Kong.

I have a soft spot for these cheesy King Kong and Godzilla movies. I've enjoyed them all for different reasons. I do need to check out that Toho Godzilla movie that just came out.

I think it'll be a 'fun' watch but yeah....that is SUPER cheesy. The last scene of them running together really was a LOL moment.

If you've seen any of the old Asian films Godzilla not only runs, he dances and fights using drop kicks  ;D

Godzilla and Kong running from explosions may be the silliest official godzilla clip I've seen in years.......I am so excited.

I love the goofy godzilla films just as much as the serious ones and I'm happy that this one looks like it's going full Showa era.

Thus far, I have enjoyed all these "recent" western Godzilla/Kong releases. Surprisingly solid/consistent, though Kong 2017 to me is the best with a wide margin.

This weekend I will be seeing minus one. It is apparently very good. I would like to get into non-gc Japanese Godzilla, but the suits and fights just look incredibly bad to me.
