There is a type of movie that we will never dwell on before going to the cinema, and it is the monster movie.
These days, although there are endless monster movies, there are still only two originators.
One is called King Kong and the other is called Godzilla.
The two behemoths were united in 1962. 60 years later, "Godzilla vs. King Kong" shocked the audience with its unparalleled visual spectacle.
It turns out that monster movies can still be made like this?
I thought this was the end, but I didn’t expect that the era of monster movies had just begun.
No, with 100% sincerity, it once again appeared on the big screen - " Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of an Empire ".
There is no doubt that this movie is an irreplaceable visual feast.
Only giant screen and imax are worthy of a movie like this.
combined with previous works, today Tomato will give you a hot preview based on the latest trailer.
01. Two-two duel becomes three-three PK. Who among the six behemoths is the top?
I originally thought that King Kong and Godzilla were already incredible titans.
But after watching the latest trailer, I realized that I am superficial. In the previous trailer of
, first showed a villain named Scar King.
He is huge, as tall as King Kong.
The only difference is that an evil temperament breaks out from him.
The shot of him sitting among a bunch of skeletons is chilling to watch.
Not only that, King Scar is even more powerful.
His weapon is the spine of an ancient giant beast. There is a plot in the trailer where King Kong enters the inner earth world, where he meets the Scar King.
In the duel between the two, King Kong did not gain the upper hand at all.
Either Scar King was knocked down with one punch, or he was choked in various ways.
I originally thought that King Scar was already the ceiling of combat power in "Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of an Empire."
Unexpectedly, King Kong turned around and was frightened by another Titan. He stood there blankly, his pupils were dilated and his mouth could not be closed for a long time.
In the new version of the trailer, the villain was finally unveiled.
His name is Snow Demon.
We all know that Legendary Pictures has developed the "Monsterverse".
In this universe, the Snow Demon is one of the oldest Titans.
He is almost the source of the Titan beasts. Many of them, including King Kong, became huge because they absorbed the radiation energy around him.
So, Snow Demon is almost an ancestral villain.
Not to mention the powerful King Kong, even Scar King, who can crush the head of King Kong, still needs several chains to lock up the Snow Demon.
Judging from these lenses, Snow Demon's abilities should be uncontrollable.
He is almost twice as tall as King Kong, which means he is over two hundred meters tall. Compared to Godzilla's atomic breath, the Snow Demon also has his own unique skills.
Once his freezing breath gets out of control, it can freeze most of the earth. There is a shot of Godzilla being frozen in the trailer of
. It is estimated that only the Snow Demon can complete this operation.
Judging from the trailer, the reason why Scar King imprisoned the Snow Demon underground must be because he hopes that his abilities can be used for himself.
When huge energy falls into the hands of a big villain, it is a huge threat to King Kong, Godzilla, and even the entire earth and mankind.
Compared with Mechagodzilla in the first film, the combination of Scar King and Snow Demon has gone up a notch.
Judging from King Scar's attitude towards King Kong, the two families may have had a grudge from a very early age.
On one side is King Kong and Godzilla reunited, and on the other side is the strongest villain Scar King and the ancestor of monsters, Snow Demon.
Who wins and who loses, this is what " Godzilla vs. Kong 2" really cares about.
What surprised Mr. Tomato is that the movie’s monster showdown doesn’t stop there. We can also see two new Titans in the
trailer.
The surprise return of Mothra , this behemoth image that once appeared in King of the Monsters is deeply loved by movie fans.
Mothra looks like a huge butterfly, a monster that symbolizes motherhood, and has many transformation forms, such as water form, light speed form, rainbow form, armor form, etc. In the
trailer, the shining golden Mothra returns in surprise, with deep eyes full of mystery.
What kind of form is this? And what kind of opportunity did it take to awaken Mothra, the first sister of the monsters?
The other one is the "big crab" that wreaks havoc in the city.
It can be seen from his fight with Godzilla that this "big crab" is huge and its combat power is almost the same as King Kong.
What is certain is that he is the villain in the movie.
Of course, whether King Scar will summon more monster villains to destroy the combination of King Kong and Godzilla, this suspense can only be revealed when we go to the cinema.
I thought this sequel was a two-by-two fight between King Kong and Godzilla. Unexpectedly, after the final trailer was released, it would become an epic titan team battle.
Not to mention other things, it is the scene of the team battle. It must be earth-shattering, the sun and the moon are dim, the mountains and rivers flow backwards, and the theater is set on fire!
With a movie like this, there is really no reason not to go to the cinema.
02. Unlock new weapons and hit them from the center of the earth to the ground. It is exciting, exciting and oppressive!
Now that the good guys and villains have been determined, what we are most looking forward to is naturally the visual feast of the ultimate melee between these titan beasts.
For Mr. Tomato, there are three biggest highlights of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2".
The first one is an unprecedented sense of giantness and oppression.
We all know that King Kong is a terrifying 102 meters tall.
And Godzilla’s height is about 100 meters. As the body's energy changes, Godzilla's height can also change accordingly, up to 300 meters.
is watching several villains appearing in the trailer.
Taking King Kong as a reference, Scar King is slightly taller than King Kong, and his height must be more than 100 meters.
Snow Demon is even more than twice as tall as King Kong, with a conservative estimate of about 200 meters.
And Mothra’s wingspan exceeds 240 meters.
What exactly are we watching in the movie? They are a group of 100-meter-tall Titan monsters, fighting around in the real human world. There are many scenes in the
trailer where tiny humans are like ants on the ground in front of these giant creatures.
Because the special effects of the movie are so realistic, every shot looking up and down has a full sense of oppression.
When these monsters covered the sky and ran rampant in the cities we visited.
When the building collapses, human beings are like ants, buried by the flying ruins.
The immersive sense of science fiction and excitement cannot be replaced by any movie.
The second one is the upgraded weapons and novel fighting methods
which not only make fighting these titans more enjoyable, more intense, but also more modern. The producers of
also thoughtfully upgraded the equipment of Godzilla and King Kong.
The atomic breath of Godzilla we saw before was blue, but in the trailer, Godzilla's entire body, including his dorsal fin and neck, are all overflowing with pink.
There is a law in nature, that is, the brighter the color, the more harmful it is.
When the giant Godzilla turns his head, his eyes flash with pink light, who will not be afraid when he looks at it?
What is the difference in combat power between pink Godzilla and blue Godzilla? We'll see.
In addition to Godzilla, King Kong has also been upgraded.
Although King Scar has a spine chain as a weapon, King Kong is not inferior to him in any way.
In the trailer, we can see that King Kong has a black and yellow mechanical arm on his arm.
Judging from the details of the battle, this set of mechanical arms has improved King Kong's combat power a lot.
The high-rise building that King Scar came to was smashed to pieces with just one punch from King Kong.
King Kong and Godzilla have equipment bonuses, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be doubled.
It is precisely because of this innovation that the fights in the film are no longer hugs and bites between giant beasts.
We can see a variety of novel fighting methods, making the showdown between these titans exciting.
For example, a group of apes attack King Kong;
For example, Godzilla bounces against a big crab;
For example, King Kong's ultimate defense against the blood demon's freezing breath;
Another example is King Kong's volley kick against Scar King...
It’s hard to imagine the scene happening to a giant beast. The entire city seemed to have become their Colosseum, and also a place where the Titans flexed their fighting power wantonly.
The third one is the complete unlocking of various combat scenes.
Fighting requires a venue, just like Jackie Chan Big Brother's action comedy. The more abundant the venue, the better the movie.
"Godzilla vs. Kong 2" did not consider the cost at all in the selection of the battle venue. It can be said that a lot of money was spent.
Almost all the landforms, mountains, rivers, scenic spots and historic sites that can be seen on the earth have been destroyed by these titan beasts. The fighting scene we can see in the trailer of
is the fight next to the pyramid of the famous scenic spot.
's destructive showdown in the reinforced concrete modern city.
In the alpine jungle, in the underground magma;
In the ancient Roman Colosseum, in the ancient glaciers.
Whether it is a place where humans live together or an inaccessible place, whether it is a civilized place or a savage land, it has become a stage for titans to show their wild nature.
The punches hit the flesh, and the fierce battles are very exciting. Watching these monsters hundreds of meters tall fight is worth the money paid immediately.
03. It has rich pictures and a huge amount of information. It is a must-see family movie this year.
Don’t look at it as a monster movie. While providing top-level visual effects, it has not given up on massaging your brain.
But judging from the current trailer, there is a lot of information hidden in the screen of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2".
Give a few examples:
When did the feud between King Kong and Scar King begin?
Why did King Kong’s journey to the inner earth world to find his relatives almost turn out to be his own murder?
In the trailer, we also saw a mini
King Kong. What is the relationship between him and Donkey Kong, and will it become the link between King Kong and Scar King?
Also, the clear message is that King Kong and Godzilla are definitely decent, and Scar King and Snow Demon are definitely villains.
As a Titan clan, logically speaking, we should unanimously attack the outside world to gain a broader living space.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. It is not the giant beasts that take the initiative to rush towards the earth, but humans who take the initiative to explore underground.
Where will the fate of mankind go?
These questions will be answered in this movie.
In Mr. Tomato’s opinion, “Godzilla vs. Kong 2” is the only Hollywood blockbuster suitable for all ages so far this year.
If you think about it, this kind of monster visual film must be the favorite of straight men.
The big monster fight is very enjoyable and straightforward, with no viewing threshold. It seems to be an easy and relaxing movie. It is definitely the most popular movie for children.
No need to go to the cinema to receive education, this kind of movie is perfect for young couples dating.
The simple plot can be understood by the elderly and children, and it is naturally suitable for family team building.
No matter what the age and relationship combination is, he can handle it properly. The main theme is suitable for both young and old, and each has its own highlights.
So this "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" must not be missed.
Ten years have passed. People who fell in love with Godzilla and King Kong ten years ago may now be working. Different age groups will fall in love with the same monsters. This is undoubtedly their best memory in the past.
pre-sale has started, and "Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of an Empire" will be released on March 29.
