King Kong vs Godzilla picks up from the events of Godzilla Raids Again (1955). We see our big lizard friend broken free of his icy tomb and head off towards Tokyo once more.
But at the same time King Kong just happens to be headed there as well and a conflict between the two seems inevitable, but how much of Japan will be left afterwards?
Now on paper this should have been a grand epic, the two biggest movie monsters facing off. It should have been a true spectacle like Batman vs Superman (2016) should have been, but much like that this fails rather impressively.
The plot is hilarious, unintentionally hilarious. It's so bad and so unbelievable it forces the entire movie into the comedy genre, underlined further by the comedic fight scenes.
The image of King Kong and the balloons will stick with me forever!
With Godzilla flapping his arms around randomly like a bird and King Kong bouncing from walking like a gorrilla to upright as if consistency didn't exist in the 60's the whole thing is the very definition of silly.
Don't get me wrong the film has its moments but this US/Japan collaboration fails on too many fronts and has a serious identity problem.
Not the worst movie of the franchise but perhaps the silliest.
The Good:
The basic conept
The Bad:
Far too comedic in places
Stupidly well groomed native folk
Plot is bafflingly stupid
No consistency with the creatures sizes
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
VS movies are destined to underwhelm
Unbreakable wires will also allow balloons to carry unrealistic weights
