Fun fact….the reason the skullcrawlers were so aggressive….because they are literally always hungry..they have to keep eating Almost Constantly..also the big one is called Ramarak, and was the one responsible for killing Kong’s parents..it was said in the novel she used a barb in her tail to stab kongs father..also…the first thing kong witnesses when he was born…was his parents being slaughtered 😢. And in this movie…Kong is actually a teenager.

In my opinion, this movie has the best human characters in the Monsterverse. Almost every single MC has a distinct personality, the jokes are on point, and you really do want them (Aside from Packard of course) to survive. Plus Marlow’s homecoming never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

Also the end scene with the guy meeting his family is always a tear jerker

I love how Kong rips out that one Skullcrawler's guts, much to the disgust of the human visitors.

Man, the post credits scene blew my mind the first time I saw it! When I saw all the monster images in those Monarch photos, I instantly knew who they were and I was ecstatic! Kong: Skull Island was a great film imo. Now I can’t wait to see your reaction to the next and my current favorite Monsterverse film!

I love this movie. I love the characters, the monster action and the storytelling that ties up to the Monsterverse theme involving the relationship between man and nature. Can't wait for your reaction to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, my all-time favorite Monsterverse film.

For any Dragon ball z fans out there, the director was heavily inspired by Saiyan Apes for the way Kong acts especially with the frame of him with the moon behind Kong

Yep, Kong isn’t joking around especially in Skull Island. I definitely enjoy this quite a bit and even though it wasn’t as great as the Godzilla movies from Legendary Pictures and not as great as the 2005 King Kong movie but still a pretty fun ride in my opinion. Great work Cody and keep it up.

KING KONG AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME!

Such a great film showing how great of a character kong how intelligent and tactical he is. You can also see that he’s pretty lonely being the last of his kind also another fact is that kong is just a young teenager not fully grown. Also in the comics kong battled skullcrawlers in those tunnels where they crawled out of. Also when kong is a bit older double the size he fought a giant bat kaiju just called kamazots who almost killed him but humans established a base they’re to make sure skull island was protected.

I was doing some reading about Skullcrawlers and apparently they have voice mimickery. That's how one of them killed Gunpei, it mimicked the voice of a crying Iwi child and he went to investigate.

You weren't wrong with your first guess with the guy in the beginning being Japanese, because that first scene is set in the Pacific War between the US and Japan.

This is easily my favorite out of the Monsterverse

It is crazy to think that during the filming of this movie Brie was most likely being cast or was in negotiations to play Captain Marvel in the MCU

Love me some Tom Hiddleston❤️This movie is why Samuel L Jackson and Brie Larson have such amazing chemistry in Captain Marvel, she doesn't deserve all the hate she gets. Also you should check out Room she is Amazing and totally deserved that Oscar...

Fun fact: Corey Hawkins, who plays as Brooks(John Goodman’s assistant) and Jason Mitchell, who plays as Mills(one of the army guys), previously played in “Straight Outta Compton” as Dr. Dre and Eazy-E

23:45 That's a mire squid 🐙, it's like a giant squid and octopus 🦑 put together 🤔.

From what I recall from the current monsterverse, the timeline order would be Kong Skull island, Godzilla, Godzilla king of monsters, Godzilla vs Kong and then its either Kong king of hallow earth or Godzilla vs Kong 2. so Skull island is our first introduction to Monarch

This is my second favorite King Kong solo movie next to the 1933 movie. I'm just tired of seeing the same king Kong story over and over again. Finally we're something different with a Kaiju size king Kong something we haven't seen since King Kong vs Godzilla King Kong escape That's amazing I can't wait for your reaction to kotm and GvK 4:38 yes this is monarch. After the bombing of castle brovo they haven't found any monsters so you can thank king Kong for keeping monarch alive all the way till the modern day

4:27 Actually, Monarch was established when Godzilla first appeared in 1954, so the organization has been around for almost 20 years by the time this film takes place.

7:23 Wait, you what?! Holly cow Cody, my respects, I had no idea but I’m glad you came back from your services and be with us, full respects dude.

This King Kong movie is very epic and awesome.

Kong the 8th wonder of the world 🌍

AND GODZILLA 2 IS COMING SOON, TOO

Btw, the score somewhat sounds like the Hulk (2003) soundtrack, but this is still my favorite Monsterverse movie because of the time it was set in, the characters being unique, and the literal monsters/creatures of the island are so amazing and different I love it!

You wanna know something terrifying about the bamboo spider? It has mouths both at the bottom of its body where it shot out those tendrils and at the end of the LEGS so when it stabbed that first guy and it was just sitting for a while it was SUCKING out the guts of that soldier

28 years stranded on that island since WWII.... imagine the backpay he got when he returned home!

Man, I love your videos, your laugh, and you’re really amazing! You never disappoint me!

Babe I literally yayed out loud to see this! Love this series and love what you’ve been putting out! Adventure movies all day!

Cody you were right about the guy being Japanese, it’s just that they did a time skip after WW2 and went to the Vietnam War

I paused this video for a few hours while i did some housework only to come back to a perfectly timed "Well your mother was wrong." without remembering any context lmao (20:52)

To Kong that Huey helicopter is like a toy to him lol 😂😂😂😂

I remember the first time I saw this so vividly, the way they remade Kong in preparation for fighting big G and you gotta love that juicccy lore 😭

I have also been waiting for another King Kong movie!

Every time I hear John Goodman's voice I hear Sully from *Monsters Inc.*

Never knew you were in the army! Thank u for your service ❤️

Also the tribe people are actually telepathic and their 1 of 3 ancient tribes that worship kings species, 1 that worship godzillas species, and the outcast one but its explained in the comics on the tribes and nit the movies

Once again. Of the few King Kong movies made. There hasn't been a single bad one

i dont know about yall, but i LOVED this movie! the killed it with the story, effects and soundtrack!

This version of kong makes Peter Jackson's version look like a toy LMAO

This is what happens when a hardcore gamer directs of film. It's a blast, and has tons of easter eggs. Why they didn't have him keep directing kong and godzilla and so forth.. I'll never never know. I guess movie companies don't like making money.

I'm actually not afraid of spiders mostly, I'm more afraid of hedgehogs, their cute but the noises they make freak me out so I always have someone else hold it so I don't drop it out of fear.

That new show on HBO explains the beginning of Monarch.

Interestingly Kong is never really referred as King Kong. King is more of a title rather than part of his name.

Love this and would love to have seen the 2 in the beginning eventually become friends and stuff cause that would have been awesome

Goodman who voiced a monster who traveled to kids closets by doors and call alien people nuts-that’s something. Fun fact-One of the soldiers plays in the Loki show as the guy who Loki threatens to turn into a fish and shows Loki the infinity stones. So that would be a total of five Marvel actors in this film. Throughout this film i was firmly on Kong’s side, the fact they shot him simply because they didnt know what Kong was versus just lowering the choppers down and being calm saws a lot about humans. Too many times we shot first and then question last and more often than not that causes more chaos than if we cooled our heads down. Like one of the guys on the plane could tell it was a monkey, great ape to be precise, but that should be a sign for them to know oh animal-this is a territory of this animal. Now, I do not know if during this time military people were trained to know animal behavior and how to act in a situation so they could just be a product of their time. My only bad thought of this movie is that Mason and Kong didnt bond like Ann and Peter J.’s Kong did. Kong tends to be a lady magnet, which as women do tend to have a softer voice and animals respond better to soft noises it makes sense Kong also would be able to connect with females better. So, it would been nice if he had some connection with Mason other than that one minute touch. It is what makes Kong so different from the other kaijus, Kong can create a strong connection to humans. The large part is that he is a fellow primate, greatly larger than other great apes, walks bipedal which humans are the best primates at accomplishing so it is strange Kong can do that, but he is still a primate. His facial expressions are easier to read and understand for humans compared to Godzilla, his behavior is more closer to ours, and just like the Jackson Kong those big brown eyes are so easy to fall in love with. It is why I am a strong Kong over Godzilla fan.

The weapon that was shown in the intro is a wakizashi, a shorter blade to the Katana wielded by the Japanese used for situations like the soldier was in

This movie is 🔥, great vid as always

Ironically, the landscape shots of Skull Island were shot in northern Vietnam. Kinda funny that the army characters/actors come from in movie Vietnam and go to real life Vietnam

Now i want a beer and a hot dog

You’re going to love Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong!!!

Hi Coddy, I love your reactions, I wanted to clarify something for you, Kong in this movie is 30 meters tall and Godzilla in 2014 is 108 meters. For the later films Godzilla measures 120m and Kong 102 meters.

You should see the Click 2006.

Godzilla lost his species Kong lost his species

Rewatching this with you I just realised that one of the soldiers that survived plays one of the TVA staff in the Loki series, so that make 4 MCU actors :)

27:56 Cody: You're not gonna move that Me: She's Captain Marv-oh wait wrong movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m a huge Godzilla fan but this one is my favorite in the monsterverse

the reason that I liked this movie is that Loki is in it (Tom Hiddleston)

The giant spider is called a mother longleg. In the Monsterverse graphic novels it is said that the reason mother longlegs stab creatures or humans with their legs is because that’s one of two ways they feed. When the mother longleg penetrated the soldier through the mouth, it was feeding off of his insides. But there’s more, when the spider was feeding on the soldiers insides the soldier was still alive and didn’t die until the mother longleg released its leg from the mouth. It’s quite a horrifying death to watch your insides get liquified and then sucked out of you during your final seconds.

It’s so baffling to me how it’s been five years since this movie came out and its director Jordan Vogt-Roberts hasn’t had a major follow up yet. He was able to make a really solid commercially and well received critically genre blockbuster film, so I assumed a bigger franchise like Marvel or DC would’ve picked him up, or that he’d continue with MonsterVerse films. Instead he’s done… nothing.

Since John Goodman, John C. Reilly, and Samuel L. Jackson are in it, it’s like watching Sully from Monsters Inc., Frozone from the Incredibles, and Wreck-It Ralph in this movie.

Long live the king of Kong 🦍

Looking forward to next week

Never heard of R&R as rest and recuperation. I'd always heard it as rest and relaxation. Same general idea, just never heard that specific term for it before.

Hey Cody, for Godzilla King of the Monsters, I'd recommend watching both the end credits and post credits scene as they both are interesting to watch. I really like the song thats played during the end credits scene and it shows a major highlight for the next movie at the very end.

Also when you get done with the monsterverse, you should also react to the most latest Godzilla Film from Toho (The Original Studio behind Godzilla) called Shin Godzilla, it is a really good Godzilla Film but I must warn you there will probably be a lot of problems when uploading it cause Toho may Flag the video if you decide to watch Shin Godzilla
