Godzilla vs Kong is the fourth film in the current Godzilla franchise and is a a very good fit. The film is a good homage to the other Godzilla films that have gone before, both in this franchise and and for ones gone before. One thing this film does is show is why Kong wasn't in 'King of the Monsters'. It also tells us more about the 'hollow earth', a subject that has been touched on in the other films.
Of course 'Godzilla vs Kong' features monster vs monster fight scenes which which mostly turn out how you'd think when you put an atomic lizard against a giant ape. And this is the films problem, they seem to totally down played Kong, they seem to have been trying to make him more intelligent than Godzilla but then he doesn't seem to use that intelligence in any of the fights, even in a fight against a random winged serpent he need help from the humans.
Over all though ' Godzilla vs Kong' has everything you'd want from a Godzilla Film, you have 'hollow earth , monsters, over the top tech and humans who think they are being helpful. The film also plays tribute to the older Godzilla film by using music and sound effects from the originals.
Over all 'Godzilla vs Kong' is a good film and worth a watch for any Kaiju fan.

Merissa (13931 KP) rated Matching with Monsters (The Red Agency #1) in Books
Dec 1, 2023 (Updated Dec 1, 2023)
MATCHING WITH MONSTERS is the first book in The Red Agency series and we start with Ari, a mid-twenties young woman who has just quit her job. Life has not taken the path she envisaged but she has the support of two best friends, Cami and Lyssa. When she gets an interview at The Red Agency, she presumes it's for a job, but it turns out to be so much more.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it practically read itself! I loved Ari's open-mindedness (after the initial shock that, let's face it, would shake anyone up!) I loved how she loved her monsters no matter which face they wore. And I loved how each of them was different, with their own personalities and baggage. It was easy to see from the first word which one was speaking.
I thought Cami's boss might be one, but how that all came together was better than I had imagined. I am looking forward to both her and Lyssa's stories. Absolutely recommended for any who like Why Choose Monster Romance!

2 is probably still too generous...
I feel like I'm being very generous giving this film a 2, but this was absolutely awful.
Bad casting, bad acting, bad script,bad plot, just bad everything. Tom Cruise was atrocious, and some of the humour in this was cringingly painful. I can see what they're trying to do with this by linking it into the wider monsters universe, but it just doesn't work.
The Mummy (1999) was a fantastic film, full of cheesy fun and humour. They've obviously tried to replicate that here but have failed miserably. If you want to watch a mummy film, don't choose this one!

Poor Mabel is afraid of monster hiding in her room. She and her cat hide from the monster in her fort. But one day Mabel questions whether they’re all that bad. She finds out that the monster is just as scared of her as she is of him, and then they become friends and spend the day playing and dressing up and having tea. Mabel isn’t scared of monsters anymore. This is a very cute story about not being afraid and being brave enough to take the chance of making a friend. The illustrations are adorable! The monster is cute and not to scary.

Camp Fun!
I am a big fan of Noelle Stevenson after reading Nimona. It was no surprise to me that this book was awesome! This comic has the same kind of strange girls being themselves, no matter how odd or different, vibe. Mix in some weirdness, some supernatural woodland creatures, fun adventures, an overbearing camp counselor, and a camp leader who seems a little flighty, and you have Lumberjanes. The girls’ robust personalities are so varied, and are illustrated so well. It is refreshing. The book was fun, interesting, hilarious, and appropriate for everyone. I cannot wait to pickup volume 2!!!

Fun Adventure With Friends
The game is so much fun to play. It's more fun playing with friends and working as a team to take down monsters. The different areas are beautiful and fun to explore. Gathering resources is pretty straightforward and you can craft items and armor. While the gameplay doesn't hold your hand every step of the way, it is very well done. There's always something to do and it's great doing it all with friends and other players.

Fun
This movie was pretty much what I expected it to be - a little cheesy, but with some cool effects. They did well with the monsters - although it seemed strange that two of the three creatures developed more than just size and aggression while the gorilla just got bigger/stronger/ more aggressive but was otherwise the same(watch and see what I mean). Anyway, the acting was pretty good and the cinematography was, too. Overall this was a fun, entertaining movie that could be watched with the whole family. Plenty of action, some bloody stuff(nothing too nasty) and a good dose of comic relief. Worth a watch!
