Uhhh uuuugggh I guess this is part of the Godzilla universe still? Idk this isn’t the same Kong from King Kong vs Godzilla… I don’t think… the suit looks different and worse, the eyes are a bit better they have some gloss to them now. They don’t just look dead and like papier-mâché. Kong looks like he’s suffering from coke bloat in this movie. He looks like he was roadkill at one point but then just got up and kept moving and grew 200 feet.
Basic plot is evil man named Dr. Who (no relation to the time traveling British one) wants to mine and element called “Element X” and he can’t just send people down there to do it because radiation or something. So he builds a robot gorilla to do it, but the robot gorilla can’t do it because radiation I think, so he just has to get the real King Kong who can survive the radiation to dig up the element. He tried to manipulate Kong with a blond woman and that doesn’t work leading to Kong escaping the facility and wandering to some city where the blond woman must allow herself to be picked up by Kong to distract him. All the while Dr. WHO sends robokong after King Kong to stop King Kong in the “thrilling” conclusion where Kong and robokong climb a tower and awkwardly punch each other until robokong falls and explodes into a hundred pieces.
I didn’t like this movie when I was a kid and I still don’t really like it, I found it a little more entertaining on a bad movie level this time around but it was too sparse with its camp. I still have to say as a positive to almost all of these movies, no matter how shitty they end up being (and believe me they will get really bad really soon) the amount of work put into the model buildings and crafting set pieces around real honest to god pyrotechnics and destruction should be noted because it’s almost always impressive. Anyway movie kind of stinky can’t wait for the next one.
