Anyone think the story is hard to understand?


I can't understand 50% of the story. Why a monster fight another monster, then they stop fighting and fight together.

I did a little better. I understood about 53% of the story.

I understood it. The problem is you have to dummy-down to understand this cheesy stuff.

It's just a trope going back to the Kaiju Godzilla films where the franchise started.

Godzilla always had to fight someone else. That's the whole point of the movie.

Seeing Godzilla take on another huge monster and kick over alot of cardboard buildings.
There's not really anything more to it.

There is absolutely no reason "why" they fight, it's just for the sake of it.

Because the script is written by a 5 years old toddler.

yeah even I have a tough time trying to get used to the plot of the movie with these things going on

giant monkeys warring against each other

bigger scary mean looking monster ape controls the apes and a giant ice monster

the stupid conspiracy guy trying to get everyone to believe him

the white woman trying to deal with and understand her adopted deaf Kong Island tribe girl

Godzilla causing a mess with random titan monsters even wrecking Rome. and Godzilla absorbing extra radiation or whatever from that Tiamat. why, and what for anyway?

Rebecca Hall's character's whole purpose was to give endless exposition on what was going on because it was so dumb no one could understand it.

reply

There's basically two storylines.

Rebecca Hall pretty much lays out what's going on about an hour into it, with the human society there and the bad guy being the King of the giant apes. Godzilla meanwhile is on a collision course with Tiamat to get more power.
