Awix (3310 KP) rated Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) in Movies
Apr 2, 2021 (Updated Apr 7, 2021)
Epically corny monster mash. When Godzilla suddenly seems to become hostile to the human race, Monarch recruits Kong to lead researchers to the hollow earth in pursuit of a new energy source that will allow them to defeat the giant lizard. But just what has got the Big G so riled?
Scores extremely heavily on the garish spectacle front, with monster rasslin' aplenty and some eye-catching visuals (although it does feel like the earth's core is next door to the uncanny valley). However, the film is often critically under-exposited and many of the plot devices and developments are frankly nonsensically. Various actors do their best not to get overshadowed by the special effects, usually to no avail, Kong gets more screen-time than Godzilla, the new design of a classic Toho monster is rather decent, and the various fights are thumpingly effective. Not as good as either the last Kong or Godzilla standalone movie, but reasonably effective goofy blockbuster fun nevertheless.

You can't run and hide....
I thought the first book had some sad moments.......Sheesh. Evolved has picked up a while later and is just as good as the first.
The heartbreaking events keep happening, the danger is ever present and tolerance of the evolved is low.
Hadi is relying on drugs more heavily than before for more reasons than one. You can't help but feel for him.
James is in a different country and has his own demons following him..... including his feelings for Hadi and the events they came through together.
It's nice to see a closeness between different personalities how they each click in place. A mismatch type of family, just like the rest of us.
As with Hellfire, the first in the series, this is for adults. The themes of death and drug use are still there (drugs being the main one). Again my heart was smashed and the cracks are far bigger.

This made me laugh, this made me cry.
I loved finding out the details of what happened that night. How mistaken identity ruined so many lives that night but how strangely it all worked itself out in the end. How meeting that certain girl again made him realise how far he'd fallen and how he tried his best to make himself worthy again.
I feel like I have to give Lucas's mum a mention. She is CRAZY! Every time she's mentioned, she's either saying something about Grandbabies or shouting some sort of sex related word. It was hilarious at times, especially when she was talking about Connect Four.
I also loved how there was an audiobook free in my Kindle Unlimited download of this, my only issue with that is that they spoke slower than I was reading it myself, so I only listened when in the bath but it was still good.

What happened! This series was so good, I am rather disappointed by this one! I just didn't feel as drawn into this one as I did the other two. Evan annoyed me to death and some of his choices just left me like excuse me? Really, is that how we are going to leave things? There were some absolutely cringe worthy lines when it comes to between Cassie and Evan. I had to read through one eye I found them so cringe worthy. I had hoped for so much more from this book and maybe an ending I hadn't predicted from the first half of the book. This book just didn't capture my imagination as the other two had done and I was so excited to read it. I was sure I was going to be sad by the end of this series but instead I am just sad that this book was nothing I had hoped it would be.

In this quick but engaging read, we are transported to the highlands of the South Island of New Zealand; a beautiful but remote backdrop to this thrilling tale of the hunter unwittingly becoming the hunted.
Once again, I am not disappointed by the writings of Lance and James Morcan; they know how to pull you in and keep you there until the end. I was however disappointed that it wasn't a bit longer ... no sooner had the action began, than it ended which was a shame as I really feel more could have been made of the terrain and the cat and mouse games between the hunter and the hunted. However, it is what it is and it's still a great thriller with interesting and believable characters.
I would recommend anyone read Lance and James' books particularly The Orphan Trilogy which is for lovers of action, espionage, conspiracy theories or just people who enjoy a flippin’ good read ... you won't be disappointed.
