Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Full Movie Review

So I went and saw the newest entry in Legendary Picture’s Godzilla franchise; Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Before I go into more detail I’m gonna try to save some of your time, the movie was… alright.


It’s a fun cheesy action/adventure movie with some very impressive special effects, but not much else to think about. If you liked Godzilla vs Kong (2021) then you’ll probably like this one too, I know I did.

This review contains spoilers for Godzilla vs Kong (2021), so hopefully you’ve seen it.


The film starts three years after the events of Godzilla vs Kong (2021), with some cool ideas about how humans are living alongside Godzilla.




He just shows up and kills any big monsters that show up causing trouble. Meanwhile Kong was left in the ‘Hollow Earth’ to live peacefully outside of Godzilla’s territory, but he’s been getting lonely.


This is where the main theme of the movie is set up. Jia, played by Kaylee Hottle from the previous movie, has been having trouble fitting in.

Due to her being the last survivor of the Iwi tribe, but she’s also been seeing psychic visions. These visions are linked to something in Hollow Earth.


Monarch, the company who keeps track of all the giant monsters, referred to as “Titans”, set up observation posts in Hollow Earth to continue studying it, until they begin receiving strange signals.

Godzilla ends up feeling the signals too, causing him to go around and find as much energy as he can. He’s preparing for something.


As Jia’s visions get more intense her adoptive mother Dr. Ilene Andrews, played by Rebecca Hall also from the previous film, decides to investigate what’s really going on.

Thus enlisting the help of Bernie Hayes, played by Brian Tyree Henry from the previous film, because Hayes predicted Godzilla’s attacks in the past and was integral to helping stop Mecha-Godzilla.


As Andrews and Hayes find out that the signals from Hollow Earth and Jia’s visions are from the same source, Kong leaves Hollow Earth and returns to the surface.

He’s got a tooth infection. This is where we’re introduced to Trapper, he’s a titan veterinarian who has a past with Andrews.


After Kong is given a replacement tooth by Trapper our ragtag crew, consisting of Andrews, Jia, Hayes, and Trapper, decides it’s time to investigate Hollow Earth themselves.

Once Kong jumps back into the wormhole leading to Hollow Earth the gang follows him. The human protagonists of this film are a lot more fun than previous Legendary Picture’s Godzilla characters.

  

With Trapper being an eccentric survivalist, Hayes being the nervous conspiracy theorist comic relief, Jia having a connection to Kong, and Andrews being a scientist trying to protect her adopted daughter the gang have a lighthearted adventure in Hollow Earth.

Meanwhile Kong finds a sinkhole in Hollow Earth that leads to an even deeper Hollow Earth. Hollow-er Earth? What Kong finds are other primate titans like himself, although they’re a lot less friendly.


After a quick tussle with them, Kong is left with a smaller primate, he’s called Suko but I don’t think anyone ever says it in the movie, who also tries to kill him, but Kong knows the little one could lead him to more of their kind.

So while the human crew is exploring Hollow Earth, Kong is traversing Hollow-er Earth with Suko and Godzilla is back on Earth charging up for a big battle.


Until the humans learn about the Skar King, a primate titan that wreaked so much havoc that Godzilla had to trap in in Hollow-er Earth.

All the while, Suko leads Kong to the tribe of primates, and immediately starts conflict when he sees one of the primates being treated poorly. That’s when he meets the Skar King, a lanky titan primate with-you guessed it-scars all over his face and body.

  

Their fight starts with Kong on the back foot, but once he starts to land some hits on Skar King, Skar reveals he’s in control of a titan so strong that it caused the ice age.

Kong promptly starts to lose the fight, because Skar cheated, and runs away with Suko following. After this the movie is on a clear path to getting Godzilla and Kong to team up and take Skar King down. The big climactic showdown has the titans fighting to save the world.


Overall the film doesn’t do anything particularly GREAT, but it’s a dumb fun action movie that I did enjoy and I’ll probably watch the next one they make. If I had to rate it out of ten, I’d give it a 5/10. It’s not great, but it’s a fun time.

Dune Part Two Full Movie Review 

Lapata Ladies, All India Rank, May December, The Zone of Interest, and now this Dune Part 2. Quite an exhilarating weekend at the movies, wouldn't you agree?

It's been two and a half years since the release of the first Dune movie. For many viewers, myself included, who were unfamiliar with the book, we embarked on this journey blindly. 


 


However, after two viewings and countless hours of background reading, delving into the world of Frank Herbert's creation became a necessity to fully appreciate the narrative. 

To truly immerse yourself in the second installment, revisiting the first movie and delving deeper into Frank Herbert's work is highly recommended. 


While obtaining the books and diving into them would be ideal, there's a wealth of material available for exploration, from academic papers to detailed analyses. 

Personally, I found myself captivated by the story behind Frank Herbert, his life before becoming an author, and the inspirations behind his iconic books.


In the year 10191, amidst the shifting sands of Arrakis, unfolds the saga of "Dune 2." A tale of power, prophecy, and the resilience of the human spirit. 

Florence Pugh's haunting narration sets the stage as she documents the events of her day in an imperial diary. While unexplained voiceovers can be cringe-worthy in most films, the device finds some justification as Princess Irulan journals her thoughts. 


The mantra "Power over spice is the power of all" continues to shape the dynamics across the Imperium, with Christopher Walken portraying the Emperor. 

Despite the melancholy surrounding Duke Leto's demise, there's a sense of indifference, a "meh" attitude prevalent among some.




On Arrakis, exiled prince Paul and his mother Jessica align with the Fremen, the indigenous people of Arrakis, whose land has been exploited for spice production. 

Spice, the lifeblood of intergalactic travel, holds immense power and significance. It's akin to the offshore oil drilling Frank Herbert often advocated against. 


As Paul realizes the atrocities committed by his people, he forms an alliance with the Fremen to halt the spice harvesting, recognizing the injustice perpetrated by colonizers.

However, Paul and Jessica harbor divergent ideologies on how to navigate their newfound power. Internally, different strategies are at play for both. 


While I haven't delved into the books myself, the narrative wrestles with the white savior trope, a theme central to Herbert's work. 

The film, much like its source material, navigates this delicate balance, questioning the legitimacy of Paul's messianic role among the Fremen.


The power dynamics continually shift, with characters like Stilgar, Jessica, Paul, the Emperor, and the enigmatic Fade-Rautha Harkonnen vying for control. 

Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts masterfully weave these intricate threads into a screenplay that is both expansive and nimble. 


Despite its nearly three-hour runtime, the film captivates, provided your bladder is empty and snacks are at the ready.

The spectacle is undeniable, from the breathtaking sets to the intricate makeup. Rebecca Ferguson's portrayal of Jessica, adorned in her distinctive attire, is particularly striking. 


The ethereal desert ambiance, punctuated by haunting melodies, adds to the film's grandeur. Yet, amidst the spectacle lies a deeper question of conviction and morality.

Paul's journey oscillates between savior and potential tyrant, blurring the lines of morality and power. While his intentions may be noble, his actions raise profound ethical dilemmas. 


Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of Paul is both captivating and conflicted, leaving viewers torn between admiration and apprehension.

Zendaya's Chani embodies strength and resilience, her unwavering gaze a testament to her character's resolve. Conversely, Austin Butler's portrayal of Feyd-Rautha falls short, bordering on caricature rather than complexity. 


His villainy feels predictable and uninspired, lacking the depth and nuance present in other characters.

Despite its flaws, Dune Part 2 distinguishes itself from typical blockbuster fare, offering a more mature and thought-provoking narrative. 


The dialogue is dense, the themes complex, reflecting Herbert's keen insight into politics and power dynamics. 

However, the emotional depth often feels lacking, overshadowed by the film's visual splendor.


In conclusion, Dune Part 2 is a captivating continuation of the saga, seamlessly building upon its predecessor. 

While it may falter in some aspects, its ambition and scope are undeniable. Whether it's worth your time ultimately depends on your appetite for epic storytelling and visual spectacle. 


On a scale of 1 to 10, it's akin to the anticipation of seeing Anna Taylor Joy grace the red carpet—a moment of excitement amidst the grandeur. 

Yet, it's also a reminder of the looming promise of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of cinema.

Road House Full Movie Review


In a Doug Liman film, you can count on certain trademarks: epic action set pieces, breakneck pacing, and a central figure who embodies true heroism. 'Road House', drawing inspiration from the 1989 flick starring Patrick Swayze, doesn't hold back on the entertainment factor and remains a fun ride from beginning to end.



This gritty action thriller vividly illustrates the consequences of damaging the hyoid bone, with bone-cracking sounds punctuating the narrative. However, beneath its revenge-driven plot lies a thread of humanity, embodied by a father-daughter duo running a bookstore.

While the story line might seem straightforward and predictable, it's Liman's skillful direction that transforms it into a thoroughly enjoyable cinematic experience.



The plot of 'Road House' centres on Elwood Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal), a former UFC fighter haunted by a violent incident in which he accidentally killed an opponent during a match. Struggling to move on from his past, Dalton still grapples with the weight of his reputation.

When Frankie (Jessica Williams), the owner of a roadhouse in Glass Keys, offers him a job as a bouncer, Dalton sees it as a chance for redemption. Frankie's primary concern is safeguarding her roadhouse from Ben Brandt (Billy Magnussen), who aims to replace it with a new concrete structure.



Dalton proves himself adept at his new role, but trouble arises when Knox (Conor McGregor), an associate of Ben's incarcerated father, enters the scene, unleashing a wave of violence.

It is evident that the film does not takes itself too seriously, and the screenplay of the film has been updated to resonate with today’s audience while preserving the essence of the original. It stays faithful to the original plot while injecting modern sensibilities. 


The fight sequences are expertly choreographed, lending an air of authenticity. Doug Liman demonstrates a keen understanding of the film's premise, despite its simplistic plot. With corrupt cops, drugs, a compassionate doctor, and a nearly super heroic protagonist, the film offers a exhilarating experience.


It's a roller coaster ride that doesn't leave much room for contemplation, with action and music dominating the screen and keeping viewers thoroughly engaged.


The film becomes compelling largely due to the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal. Known for his acting talent, Gyllenhaal seamlessly blends his acting prowess with thrilling action sequences, elevating the excitement level of the film. 

Portraying an ex-UFC fighter who maintains a quiet demeanour, he delivers a commendable performance, particularly shining in combat scenes opposite Conor McGregor when he is shirtless. 


However, it's Conor McGregor's appearance as Knox in the latter half that nearly steals the spotlight. The UFC champion makes a highly entertaining debut, adding an extra layer of excitement to the film.

'Road House' suffers from mediocre cinematography and subpar lighting, yet its compact plot, gripping action sequences, and a fierce performance by Jake Gyllenhaal compensate for these shortcomings. 


It epitomizes the archetype of countless films that flooded theatres in the 80s. Some films, like "Road House," are best enjoyed without overanalysing them. 

Their sole purpose is to deliver entertainment in any form, and 'Road House' fulfills this objective admirably. Gyllenhaal's portrayal of a philosophical man adept at hand-to-hand combat is reason enough to give it a watch.
