We kwijlden ons hele toetsenbord onder na die gruwelijk vette Godzilla vs. Kong-beelden en ook nu kunnen we er weer een doekje overheen halen. De eerste reacties op dit big budget-spektakel zijn namelijk binnen en die prijzen de monster-actie de hemel in.
De vierde film uit Warner Bros' zogenoemde MonsterVerse-universum, met Nederlands tintje, komt bijna uit. Althans: als je bijvoorbeeld in de VS woont, waar je Godzilla vs. Kong vanaf 29 maart in bioscopen (herinner jij ze nog?) kunt checken of vanuit je luie binge-stoel via HBO Max. Er is vooralsnog geen Nederlandse release dus laat die FOMO maar komen.
Eerste reacties op Godzilla vs. Kong
De consensus? Nou, de journalisten die de film al mochten zien, raken niet uitgepraat over de moddervette actie. De gevechten tussen Godzilla en Kong vielen blijkbaar enorm in de smaak. "Godzilla vs. Kong is a visual spectacle featuring jaw-dropping fight scenes between the two iconic titans", aldus journaliste Shannon McGrew. En zo kunnen we er nog wel een aantal citeren!
Niet alleen maar positiviteit
Je kunt alle vlammende reacties hieronder checken, maar die zijn ook weer niet allemaal superpositief. Zo wijzen meerdere critici op de mensen in de film. Dat aspect lijkt, net zoals bij de vorige films, ook hier weer het minst boeiende deel te zijn. Dan kun je nog wel Alexander Skarsgård en Millie Bobby Brown in je film hebben - je kijkt dit toch echt voor die titanenstrijd.
As expected - and probably as it should be - the titan fights are the best parts of #GodzillaVsKong . Adam Wingard definitely has the eye to make the most of those moments! Still don't think they've nailed how to incorporate human characters, but the top-notch ensemble helps. pic.twitter.com/ttpmNJOElo

watched #Godzilla fight #Kong for the first time in my living room and while I have a decent set up this movie demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. If you can find a theater you feel safe to visit def see this on a movie screen. pic.twitter.com/79GgsT7C8r

#GodzillaVsKong is the best. I had so much fun I was clapping at my TV as the credits rolled. Gorgeous, outrageous, and genuinely affecting (the little girl’s relationship with Kong is the most emotional aspect of any of these movies), it is simply unbeatable. I loved it so. pic.twitter.com/H61FYChx7B

I watched #GodzillavsKong and really enjoyed the monster fights and Kong’s humanity. They delivered big on this. The plot, human characters, and the lore explanations are the weakest in the modern franchise unfortunately but I still want more sequels! pic.twitter.com/D2c1MsmEMF

#GodzillavsKong is another solid MonsterVerse installment. While more time could have been used to explore this franchise’s deeper mythology, if you’re chiefly looking forward to seeing Godzilla and King Kong collide in a fight for the ages, you won’t be disappointed! pic.twitter.com/ajR7UW0Cre

#GodzillavsKong is a visual spectacle featuring jaw-dropping fight scenes btwn the two iconic titans. Wingard’s directing style is on full display in a colorful & breathtaking fashion that also harkens back to the 80s style kaiju. Needless to say, this film is a blast! pic.twitter.com/j31lc55iVO

I absolutely hated the prior Godzilla movie. So here’s the utmost praise I can give a movie like GODZILLA V. KONG: it is a coherent movie with daytime fights and I could always see what was going on. I truly mean that as a compliment.

#GodzillaVsKong is fun, vibrant, action-packed, and energizing.
GvK lives up to the heavyweight match it advertised with amazing visual effects and action sequences. This movie is selling a spectacle, and that’s exactly what audiences will get.— Sheraz Farooqi (@SherazFarooqi_) March 21, 2021
I'm not crazy about the previous GODZILLA movie (it's my least favorite of the four) - story is confusing & you can't really see the fights. Completely different here - dug the story & the fights are pretty awesome. Director Adam Wingard's "Midnight Movie" vibes are all over this pic.twitter.com/Ax4het5M0n

#GodzillaVsKong spends a little more time with the human characters than I cared for but it never really tries too hard to take them or anything else too seriously. This is a good thing. It’s just a wild blowout with the Titans fighting. It’s great overall.

The human parts are still bafflingly bad, but the parts where one giant monster wallops the other giant monster in the face are incredibly good
