"... another property trying to be Marvel."

Oh, Chris... Godzilla and his kaiju friends had a shared universe before shared universes were even a thing. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Varan, etc. all had solo outings and then everyone got together in 1968's "Destroy All Monsters" to trash several world cities before teaming up to kick King Ghidorah's golden ass. This was eons before Marvel.

Let me guess, Chris grew up with Kong

[fred]

am i the only one how really liked some of cinematography in this movie???

[yuampi]

Don’t ask me why but I really enjoyed this film

[somethingclever]

I loved how Kong shows up in the very beginning smashing helicopters. Instead of making us wait forever. Caught me off guard in a good way.

"Another studio trying to be Marvel."

Sorry, have to disagree. The Toho monsterverse was 20-odd movies in whilst the Avengers were still in plastic sleeves on comic store shelves.

They are re-booting the Toho monsterverse.

I'm not gonna lie i gave both "Godzilla" & "Kong: skull island" 5 out of 5 stars. They are both EPIC!!!

[TheWeepingDalek]

another studio trying to be like marvel?

Godzilla 1954,
godzilla raids again 1955
rodan 1956
mothra 1961
king kong vs godzilla 1962
godzilla vs mothra 1964
ghidorah the three headed monster 1964 (featuring godzill, mothra and rodan) 

so tell me again how a universe set up with loads of different giant monsters from different movies coming together into one movie is copying marvel?

marvel copied ToHo. toho gave legendary the rights to make these godzilla movies. universal gave WB the rights to kong. because thye were inspired by the previous work ToHo did. not marvel. So shut up with coping marvel bollocks.

As each day passes Chris Stuckmann hates Rogue One more and more.

[jeonacho]

Tom hiddleston killed 3 men in a bar with a pool fucking pool stick

[h.u.n.k]

Guys just see it for yourself, don't be a sheep and just "accept" that it's a dissapointment, if you had an interest to see it, then do and see if you agree with Chris. That's what makes opinions important, they belong exclusively to YOU.

[sonnychavez]

Damn dude so harsh I personally loved this movie sure the characters were bland but Kong himself was awesome

[alexanderm]

Weird its a WB movie and every actor in this movie is in/Part of the MCU..
Sam Jackson/Nick Fury
Tom Hiddelston/Loki
Brie Larson/Captain Marvel
That one funny guy/Nova corps from GOTG
Tobey Kibble/Dr.Doom.

[flushfries]

I loved the way the film looked.
The color schemes were a breath of fresh air from the grayscaled action movies we mostly see today

[joshimura]

Who gives a shit about the humans.

We wanted to see Kong in action and my god this movie delivered.

[MrMoejayjoe]

I went in expecting a Pacific Rim Monster movie, and thats what I feel like I got. I didn't expect good characters or script just a ton of action, and it definitely delivered.

[elibowsman]

Did Chris grow up with everything? "Guys I grew up with King Kong" "I grew up with Spider-Man" "I wanted to be Kevin when I was a kid"

EDIT: Jesus all you hoes takin this so seriously. I was just giving some examples. I'm not "hating on Chris". I'm making a joke. Stop getting your panties in a bundle and lighten up.

EDIT #2: Just wanted to make sure all you people know that I love Chris and he's definitely one of my favorite YouTubers. Anyway, carry on.

[wbhurt]

I'm not defending Kong but you don't seem to care when Marvel constantly does half ass character development in every single movie

[Talan]

They mentioned giant ants, we even hear them sing, but we didn't see them

[LostUtopiaFilms]

Not trying to spoil anything, but I honestly don't how Chris could scoff at the after credit scene. If you're a Godzilla fan at all it's nothing but awesome.
