8/10
Missed #'s 8 & 9.

I recently watched "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire"(hey, I was on a plane trip so why not) and it was the worst Kong/Godzilla movie I have ever seen. To me it was like two different movies. It was like they did the CGI Kong/Godzilla stuff, and then they had the live action human scenes done somewhere, and "Never the twain shall meet." Like they were edited separately and they don't come together to make one cohesive movie.

Btw, I think the King Kong movie with Jeff Bridges was the best Kong movie I have seen. Even though there was an actor in the ape suit, I think it added more "humanity" to the movie than all the subsequent CGI movies ever could.

That Jeff Bridges King Kong movie was the only King Kong movie that I saw at the theater. It was alright. A couple weeks before, I saw A*P*E a movie about a giant gorilla in South Korea. It was part of a double feature. The second movie playing then was Equinox (1970) a supernatural horror film with stop motion special effects. It had a giant ape-like creature.

"You got 10 out of 10. You did it! Tokyo is safe!" WOW! Three or four of them were merely guesses, like #9 as I've never seen the movie. Its always nice when you happen to ace a quiz that you are not a real expert on - it made my day! 😄

10/10. And I know very little about the subject matter. In the Japanese version Godzilla defeats King Kong.
