Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire - Angry Movie Review 

In gamer terms kong decided to play mainly story mode while godzilla decided to grind and level up

Legendary’s Godzilla franchise is quickly turning into the F&F franchise. Kong’s gonna learn English and his first word is gonna be “Family”.

Godzilla: - Wake up - Kill Monsters - Destroy Buildings - Dont make Allies - Go to sleep

To be fair this movie had the Least amount of human time in any Godzilla movie evrr

God: you're accepted into heaven Alex, wanna come in? Alex: I guess....

I love how when Alex is complaining, Joe is just admiring his godzilla 😂

this movie had the most monster screen time of any of the movies by far. there were 15 min stretches with absolutely no humans

When Kon used mini-kong like a baseball bat swining him left and right haha. That was funny AF!

AJ: *OH MY GOD LOOK AT IT IT BREATHES SMOKE ITS SO COOL ISNT IT ALEX???* 😁😍 Alex: …yeah 😐

Look man, if we can get Godzilla flying kick and using atomic breath to fly across the island then this isn’t that whacky lol

How can you say they didn’t learn their lesson about the human characters? There’s like 60 minutes of monsters in this film, more than any MonsterVerse film. Theres 10 whole minutes of nothing but monsters doing their thing. It’s a huge step up in how they represent the titans as characters. I had a blast with it.

Ishiro Serizawa was the only human that should've stay as a main human character and they killed him.

This movie basically took the showa era and pretty much slammed it into the modern age lol. Its ridiculous and over the top but the monster action is so freaking amazing that its hard not to get wrapped up in the insanity. You can tell the creators just had fun with the film and thats what matters most to me

As a 30 year old...I may have to get that Godzilla toy 🤣

"godzilla is approaching the generator"

Joe defending Man of Steel's slaughter is so funny because he is basically comparing Superman's intelligence to that of a bunch of giant territorial animals who couldn't care less about humans.

The movie could be a 1/10 and I’d still watch it. I want to watch King Kong and Godzilla punch stuff, couldn’t care less about the plot.

Alex looks so tired LOL

See, you can't make everyone happy. You want just the monsters, they give it to you and you crap all over it.

This is the first video where I have disagreed with you guys in the beginning of the video. The movie was , fun, over the top, exciting, and told a complete story. I would have been happy if they made it a 3 hour movie honestly.

This film knows exactly what its trying to do and when it does it, it’s done extremely well. There are of course some critiques I have with this film, but overall…wow…what a fun film. My theater had audiences laughing and clapping. I could feel all the smiles throughout the theater. It’s definitely a good time.

I really hope we get a Godzilla centered film where Kong assists based on their new 'partners' dynamic. I will still hold out hope for Destroyah in this series

Hey guys winter godzilla is actually called shimo like im here getting an aneurysm hearing winter godzilla.

Joe is comparing death toll between a Superman fan and a Godzilla/Kong film ? That’s the dumbest justification I’ve ever seen

I will say one thing. So the psychic girl is a reference back to an old Godzilla movie where there was a whole tribe that was psychic and can communicate telepathically. So if you're a big fan that is kind of cool they're trying to bring that back I just don't think they executed right

I think minus one is how you do a serious kaiju film whereas pacific rim is how you do a fun kaiju film

You can’t expect zero human characters come on lol

Here's the thing. Ceartin parts of the story so need explaining otherwise you would complain about not knowing what is going on. Also the humans in this movie were actually helpful

These guys are going to complain no matter what Legendary does with the Monsterverse.

The "Winter Godzilla" is named Shimo and she's female. Plus her face looks so cute when she's looking up at the sky as Godzilla blasting the sky clear.

Guys PLEASE watch this film, it's GREAT! These guys are becoming overly analytical. The humans are crappy yes but the monsters are soooooo much screen time. Was great great fights, great Kong story, great Godzilla usage (it is prefectly okay for Zilla to be overoowered and strong, plenty of good stories with overpowered hero's, one Punch man, superman some storylines etc)

Fun fact, if you really enjoyed the movie like I did, it's making a FUCK ton of money and they will absolutely be making another one very soon

“Stop focusing on the humans!!” Joe have you actually SEEN a Godzilla movie entirely or do you just watch RU-vid clips of random battles?… If you’ll excuse me I’ll wait from an honest review of someone who’s ACTUALLY dripped in Godzilla lore *James Rolfe* The gold standard of daikaiju

They dont focus on the monsters? They appeared every 2 to 3 minutes what are y’all talking about🤦🏻‍♂️

The girl pulled a Sam Witwicky when she drew those readings

when Alex looks like he just got home from Vietnam, you know the review is gonna be good !

Did they watch the same movie? How did they not focus on the monsters? The movie revolves around Kong. This review is like hearing someone who walked into a McDonald's complaining that they don't serve sushi. Didn't you read the sign, dummy?

Showa era Godzilla fans are gonna have a ton of fun then it seems haha.

Joe must of slept through this movie, they focused on the monsters way more than the humans, not sure why Joe wants just a monsters on the screen and no human interaction at all

When the Scar King started doing Kung Fu I burst out laughing in the theater

7:58 ok but that’s not a fair comparison tho cuz the apes talk so they can actually express they’re emotions and in this they don’t speak at all except “ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!” Like yeah body language and facial language is important but still yea get what im trying to say?

My summary of this film: Godzilla is approaching the artic, the artic is losing power. Kong is taking his "son" to school.

They'll probably bring back another Toho monster for Godzilla to fight in the next one

Joe I’m sorry what do you mean they aren’t they don’t focus on the monsters…? I get wanting that for a full movie but we literally have an HOUR OF MONSTER SCREENTIMR

Alex is like an 80 year old stuck in a 40 year old body, bro is never happy

Patrick has really grown on me through your tabletop series, glad to see him in a review

People forget how wild and crazy the Toho Godzilla got for awhile. Doesn’t have to be serious all the time lol

1:30 “That’s my secret, Angry Joe, I’m always on vacation”

Finally we see behind the scene setup for most of the channel content like news + reviewing (smaller than i expected tho)

4:42 literally asking for the impossible. They do less and less humans to the point it's actually impressive and this guy STILL wants less humans. Why should they try to make you happy if you always want more no matter what 7:52 Its wild to me that this guy keeps complaining about this in GxK.

This is the only movie where godzilla isn't a loser. In 2014 he gets his ass whooped by the two mutos and Aaron taylor Johnson distracts the mutos by blowing up their nest. In King of the Monsters he gets two assists. Ken Watanabe revives him by setting of that nuke and later Mothra powers him up so he can beat Ghidorah. And in Godzilla vs Kong he needed to work together with Kong to win the day.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Skull Island director) is working on a Gundam movie for Netflix and the long-gestating Metal Gear Solid movie for Sony, both in development hell. I agree that he should be brought back to the Monsterverse in some capacity, he seemed to have the best eye for capturing the scale of the monsters while keeping it fast and engaging.

The monster sizes to me were everywhere, the majority of the time Godzilla looked so small.

OG Godzilla fans knows that Godzilla can practically do anything. People should try watch the original Godzilla movies he does shit in there that defies physics 😂 and tbh they actually did a good balance between the humans and the monsters part. I honestly don’t understand what all the hate is about. This movie literally is best Godzilla of the monster verse

Geez and the audience score gave it a 92% in RT.

Dudes this flick was awesome. At this point i think your just trying to find stuff to complain about. Everyone i know loved it.

That zoom in on Alex killed me lmao. His comedic timing is impeccable. 0:58

AJ: they had 3 writer Alex: yeah chatgpt 💀💀💀

Wasnt that little girl the one through the whole kong vs zilla movie

I'm all for having two different Godzilla universes because it's clear that the Legendary Universe is for kids and gives homage to the later Showa era of the late 60s and 70s. Godzilla Minus One is for the OG Godzilla fans who loved the original 1954. I'm just happy that kids are able to experience Godzilla on the big screen.

Everyone stop comparing Minus One to this, you literally saw it a couple months ago, it has no bearing on THESE movies, you got your serious, dark Godzilla movie. Now let us enjoy this goofy 70s style action movie.

2 things that didn't make sense to me...1) Godzilla sleeping in Rome with people around him going about their normal lives...instead of Godzilla given an uninhabited Island to lay on. 2) Sending a motley crew of misfits into a world full of millions of giant predators without any military support...and only 1 gun.

Absolutely loved the movie and the fighting. If they continue I just hope they include more classic Godzilla monsters like gigan, destroyah, megalon etc.

Dang behind the scenes this guy is LOW CLASS LIVING!

Did King Scar eat a baby?

This movie was the complete opposite of King of the Monsters. What are you talking about?

I like how Angry Joe is occasionally trying to turn my brain off in this video by playing with the Godzilla Toy Steam Breath thing. XD

Honestly Monarch legacy of monsters did a great job making you like the human part! Wyatt and Kurt Russell where great! I loved seeing them track Godzilla! It wasn't over the top action, however the end of the show kinda dipped.

I would still want more MonsterVerse movies. It’s safe to say it’s showing a little more consistency than the now defunct DCEU and MCU Phase 4 and 5. You can see some comments saying how much they love MonsterVerse and it’s their current favorite universe. I’m not saying I love Monarch: Legacy of Monsters or GxK, but I would like the lore to be expanded with more titans even if the human characters suck ass like they usually are in most Godzilla/kaiju movies. I didn’t love Monarch but I wouldn’t mind a second season of it. Is Godzilla x Kong (or should I say Kong x Godzilla?) my favorite movie of this year? Um, no. Then again, I haven’t seen a lot of movies this year. I doubt it will be my favorite but I did have fun. I think the leaks and the theories ruined any possible surprises I wanted from it. Shimo was already spoiled by the Playmates toys back in December. There was already a plot leak of Kong punching Godzilla with the BEAST glove. The trailers showed pretty much all of the best scenes from the movie. Warner Bros. is notorious for this as the final trailer for Batman v Superman spoiled the final act with Doomsday. That’s my problem with it. People were leaking the plot as I’m aware this was shown over a month ago with early screening and everything happened according to those spoilers. There really were no surprises and it’s not like we were expecting Godzilla and Kong to lose in Rio. Godzilla x Kong is basically WWE meets buddy cop movie but with kaijus. That’s the gist of this movie. Lots of bullshit talking from human characters we don’t care about over stories we don’t care about. Typical protocol from Godzilla movies. Then the big fight scenes at the end which it did deliver. The moment we saw Kong use Suko as a weapon, that’s when we know this was not going to be Citizen Kane. Godzilla can now run and jump really high in this movie like he’s Air Jordan. High IQ is not required to watch and enjoy fast food entertainment like this.

My wife brought me to watch this movie for my birthday. I loved it. Im a huge godzilla fan and this was just dumb fun, and it didnt insult me, like what marvel and star wars does

The new guy making that diddy joke kinda ruined the vibe

How are these guys so dumb lol Skar King not King Skar. Damn

Cant wait for Rush hour 4 staring Godzilla and Kong

Angry Joe and company were a little too harsh on this. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was just dumb fun, and the human characters didn't feel distracting to me.

Godzilla vs. Shimu and Scar King is a prime gaming example of doing all the side missions first before fighting the first boss......and kicking its ass afterward.

I lost it when Godzilla hit Kong with the brain buster

Joe holding that Godzilla toy like it's his own baby..

As soon I saw THAT scene I immediately bust out laughing and said- Godzilla is approaching the generator, the generator is losing power!

I love you guys - brining that good energy! Patrick has been great on the team!

Just got out the theater it was awesome I loved it. Whole audience cheered and clapped. 10/10.

The movies focused on the monsters more then the humans which is what I want to see in a giant monster movie

I have to ask how many Godzilla movies have y'all actually watched? The majority of the original Japanese movies were heavily human-focused right from the start. Gojira was originally the embodiment of man-made disasters and was an antagonist to the human characters. He would eventually evolve into a protagonist role in the 'Godzilla/Gojira vs [Y]' type movies in the 60s onwards. Those movies had more monster screentime, but the primary POV was still mostly the human characters. Then there was a revival and return to his antagonist role in "Return of Godzilla" in 1984. He wouldn't be a protagonist again until the mid-90s. Then came "Shin Godzilla", that made him an antagonist again. I think this is a case of misremembering/false memories. Or maybe y'all are confusing the movies with that animated Godzilla show from late 70s early 80s.

I just went with it, no point in over analysing anything here, it was fantastic fantasy fun. Things said that didn't make sense... didn't care, just roll with it. Nod and said yeah ok, that's happening. Didn't mind the human parts, better than the previous movie. Great sound track.

Joe's reviews are becoming so long you may as well just see the movie

Dang Other Joe really needs to work on his tan again!

Oh look Alex doesn’t like a movie and he’s bitching about it. What a surprise!!! So refreshing!!

Why you touchin him there Joe 😂

But AngryJoe, if I completely turn off my brain I die. 😢

They overdid it with the damn music, though. It felt like they were trying to make it Guardians of the Galaxy.

Every time scar got punchrd in the face i busted up laughing it sounded like he just got pelted with a dodgeball plank!! Lol

Chadzilla was on Demon time throughout the film. Every MF he saw save for Mothra ha a circle dangling above their heads.

Mute girl was not introduced at the end of Godzilla vs Kong.

the entire focus of the movie was the monsters...... these internet reviews crack me up

“Hopefully he stays away from Diddy kong” got it 🤣🤣

Hey Joe! As you’re a fan of Godzilla and Superman; I was wondering if you ever heard of Ultraman? ((not the one from DC)). It’s a fantastic franchise that has lasted nearly as long as Godzilla’s; even being created by the same man who worked on the effects for the early Godzilla movies, Eiji Tsuburaya. It has monster fights, super heroism, and writing on par with classic Star Trek ((and even Next Generation sometimes!)) As much as I’m a fan of Godzilla; Ultraman was always there for me even in my darkest most depressive times, and for that I do prefer a bit more imo.

and Big G killed Supes in the comic, with one single atomic breath. like actually kills Superman Age of Superheroes is over, It's now the Age of the Kaiju

lol bruh, they absolutely focused on the monsters. This feels like the least amount of human time of all of them..

when Kong uses the little guy as a weapon was the best part i couldnt stop laughing

Watched this movie around an hour ago… I agree you need to leave logic at the door as the actual story isn’t great but it’s a fun action movie and worth a watch IMO

Is Godzilla and Kong: the new Empire better than Godzilla 1998
