Godzilla Versus King Kong - Movie Review

I thought it was well done because I'm looking forward to the next one, which I usually don't look forward to in sequels. This movie touched upon important facts about human nature that I don't think are discussed much.

The first point it drove home was that no one always knows the consequences of their actions. In the movie, the protagonist, Walter Simmons, plays God, hoping to keep humanity the number one species. Still, he hasn't learned not to mess with nature, no matter how benevolent his original intention was.

I think another point they were trying to make is that humanity isn't as evil as we would like to think, but Simmons took it too far. I think it's because no matter how far we think we've evolved, we will always have that primal need for some control. I believe humanity has to realize there are specific forces we will never control or fully understand, no matter how hard we try. However, I am sure I am reading way more into this movie.

The human characters thought they were controlling King Kong, but later found out they couldn't. They also believed Godzilla was randomly attacking places, but we found out at the end that he wasn't. I do think Godzilla came to somewhat respect King Kong, and I believe in the next movie they'll team up more easily if it becomes necessary. I also think that time will come down the line. I am happy Kong found a place that he can call home again because he was growing too big for Skull Island.

This movie also reiterated the point that you shouldn't believe everything you hear or read, and you should research what you're interested in. The film shows you what happens when you go along with your thoughts without testing or challenging them. Building on that, the movie alsoomakes the point that everyone is a little crazy. What matters is that we don't ultimately let our crazy thoughts control our actions.

I found this movie very engaging because of the lessons it offers. At first glance, it looks like just another action movie, but it has much more meaning. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys monster movies, action, or science fiction.
