Stuart Heritage: Godzilla vs Kong - The big dumb action movie we’ve been waiting for?

And this sort of harkens back to the Martin Scorsese comments about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And look, I love the Marvel Cinematic universe, but it tries a little hard sometimes to be something that it's not. And I think that this movie is fully aware of what it is and is embracing it. And I think this trailer really shows that I said something to a friend about how I hated the song choice. And then my friend was like, no, I love it

Incredible write up by the Guardian that I completely agree with 😂https://s.swell.life/SSN8tZ3F7Dg5GcM

Written by Stu Heritage, not the Guardian 😂

Also, I should add, I don't know why I said that this was by The Guardian. It was published in The Guardian. It was written by Stewart Heritage. That's the clarification that I think I need to make

And I say that as somebody who just explained, I've been so let down, I had no interest when I kept hearing, oh, God, Zillow versus Kong is coming. And I was like, great, another piece of trash, like the last two. But this looks awesome. This looks really good. So it's got me really interested to see this film. And strangely, it's kind of cool that I'll be watching it on HBO. Max

Joe, I'm curious if you saw Kong Skull Island, I understand why the Godzilla films are not for everybody. I thought they were pretty fun and stupid. Obviously not the greatest of storytelling in the world, but on the big screen, it was a good time. But Kong Skull Island, I actually thought was a pretty good movie. Curious to know what you thought

And then if we don't, we can be back on here and be like, what kind of piece of s*** was this movie and all that good stuff that they made Internet and technology for

Here’s hoping! #SchlockAndAwe

That makes no sense, but they spent a lot of time and energy to make a coherent script that, despite the jargon, just, oh, man, was overkill way more seriousness than there needed to be in that movie. It was an improvement over 2014 Godzilla. But yeah, 2019 wasn't the big dumb action movie I was looking for
