I'm a cinema guy, go to cinema about once a week. But to be honest, nobody misses movies like Godzilla vs. Kong. I think one of the worst movies ever.

Now now, let’s not be too hasty to make that determination until we’ve seen what fast & furious 9 has to offer

  No need to wait. It's really bad. The last King Kong (vs Godzilla) was at least silly amusing to watch (once). F9 is just bad across the board, there was nothing enjoyable about it, the formula has now jumped the shark twice (the last Fast movie was the first jumping of the shark). The Fast franchise is in the guard rail, the race is over.

    > the formula has now jumped the shark twice Maybe we can rename the trope to some sort of car-based hijinxs? I want to say "launched a car into space", but that's probably going to annoy Tesla fans.

If you think Godzilla vs Kong was one of the worst movies ever, I don't think you've watched very many movies. I'd put The Wickerman (either version), The Fountain, and The Final Countdown (1980, nothing to do with the song, sadly) as easily worse than Godzilla vs Kong, and that's just off the top of my head. It's certainly not a great movie, but it's well in-line with what you would expect from the title; slightly plausible plot, big monsters fighting in cities, trademark roar. Nowhere near the best movies, but strongly in the middle.

  Funny. I've watched quite a few movies, indy and studio, foreign and domestic, and The Fountain is the only movie I ever immediately re-watched the second it ended. I thought it was absolutely a masterpiece. But that's art for you; affects people differently.

    Might want to give The Fountain a go then, sounds interesting. To me the movie Memento is special, both the plot itself but also the question, what if it happened to me.
