This tells, in 6 minutes, a much better story than Dan Snyder did in 3 hours of Recall Moon.

Agreed!

That was great, but just wait until the 11 hour Snydercut version of Rebel Moon: Parts 1&2: The Complete Movie: Completely Badass: Even Slower Motion Fights: Now With Boobs. Then you'll see what genius visionary filmmaking is.

We talking wild back stories?

You have to wonder wtf he is even doing, other than turning into Michael Bay.

It’s not an "extended cut" of this movie. It’s almost like a different movie. It’s almost a different universe that [the R-rated cut] lives in than this movie. The reason for that is because it’s such a philosophical thing to shoot a director’s cut of a movie before you finish this version. All of my director’s cuts existed as a response to the things that were demanded of me to take out of the theatrical version, right? With [Rebel Moon], that demand was never really made.

We knew it would be a PG-13 movie. In my heart of hearts, I’d always wanted it to be rated R, but you realize this sort of scale and cost of a movie like this, "Well, it’s not 100% responsible to have that be the demand." [They were] like, "What if we said do whatever you want over here? Do the PG-13 version and then go nuts [with the other cut]. We don’t care." That was a thing I’ve never experienced before. [It will be a] really crazy experience for fans, because it’s the fully realized weirdo, heavy metal, bizzaro-land movie.

"Way more brutal. More bizarre. Verhoeven-esque. More RoboCop than you know… in the way that it uses violence as another character. And there's a lot of sex in it, and sci-fi fantasy."

Think I’ll pass on this one.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire review: An exposition-heavy retread

Adam Wingard’s latest “Monsterverse” flick is laughably absurd as it tries to anchor its beastly fights with any emotional resonance or narrative coherence

It really takes some hutzpah to make a "Director's Cut" version of a movie when you had complete creative control over the original release version. Why bother making difficult creative choices and refining when you can just vomit out two different versions and indulge your every impulse?

To be fair it sounds like Netflix wanted a PG-13 version designed to appeal to the mainstream but told him to go ahead and film a crazier R version at the same time. We would have only had the R version had Netflix not also wanted a more mainstream cut.

Movie sucked either way.

I'll watch it on Max. No way am I paying to go to the theater.

Time to hit pause on the US Godzilla movies? The first two were fun but the rest were snoozers. The TV show had its moments but was basically one long Scooby Doo episode.

That’s Enough of the MonsterVerse

Godzilla x Kong fails to deliver any action-movie spectacle.
