Hi Peeps
Now the cinemas are opening up after Covid, I'm now catching up on the film's I thought I would only see on streaming services but were meant for the big screen because of their special effects. The first being Mortal Kombat which I reviewed a few posts back. The second being Godzilla Vs Kong.
Now I've seen both plus one my daughter insisted on seeing - Peter Rabbit 2 - The Runaway.
Peter Rabbit 2 - the sequel to 2018 hit, which I saw at the cinema with my daughter and enjoyed but can't find a review of it. I would have given it a 7/10.
Peter Rabbit 2 has Peter again voiced by James Cordon taking his friends from the farm they now share with the McGregor's, played by Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson to Gloucester. Here he meets a bad rabbit who says he knows his father and ends up stealing food with him and his misfit gang. But does Peter want to be this type of rabbit and put his family in danger? And does Bea McGregor want to change her books based on Peter so much that they don't resemble him.
Overall - not as good as the first film. The plot is thin and there aren't as many jokes although I did chuckle at some scenes. The animal CGI was ok but it had some awful action CGI of Mr McGregor. There was a running gag about Peter having an annoying voice which he does as he's voiced by the annoying James Cordon. The best thing for the Dad's was Rose Byrne as eye candy.
Bels Score - 5/10
My Score - 6/10
Godzilla Vs Kong is both a sequel to Godzilla: King of Monsters and Kong: Skull Island. Both films for me were great.
This takes place five years after Godzilla: King of Monsters and sees Godzilla attacking Apex Industries locations. It seems random at first but he is hunting down the heads of King Gidorah.
Not knowing this Monarch thinks Godzilla has turned on humanity. Apex CEO Walter Simmons convinces Nathan Lind (Alexander Scarsgard) to get Monarch to use Kong to get them to Hollow Earth and the Titans power source. This is so he can power MechaGodzilla fully which is built from the heads of King Gidorah, killing Godzilla and other titans.
Problems arise when transporting Kong thanks to the help of a girl called Jia who communicates with Kong via sign language. Godzilla can also sense Kong and there should only be one Apex Titan so keeps attacking Kong.
Overall - this is a great action CGI monster fight film, and one best seen on a cinema screen. The humans take a back seat as we mainly see through Kong's eyes. Although some characters return from Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The action is great and the film is shorter than previous films in the Monsterverse series so tightening the story.
Score - 9/10
