Bro what is goin on here?

KOTM's score is way better than Gvk's. No if's and's or but's about it.

That's true for the rest of the score.

Some parts did feel a bit rushed.

not for me.. it’s not the style even, it’s just the score itself feels cheaply and sloppily done for me

Honestly, I agree but even though it does feel out of place for this frankly mediocre score it works.

Take Godzilla's words

Not really, It’s not my favorite. It suffers from the problems of the rest of the score. The entire score is decent, but not really what I want.

why not

So.....get my point now?

I meant LISTEN TO THAT LAST PART and know what I'm talking about.

I actually am very confused why Junkie didn't use THE REAL Godzilla theme

i did, 10:40 mark

Godzilla Ultima is a short godzilla

I did, and again, I said it didn’t completely work for me, it’s one of the better scores, but not my favorite 

The soundtrack is meh but y'all are missing the point of the whole thing.  Look at what I wrote closely and TRY AGAIN

The soundtrack is... meh. It’s meh.

on the topic of synths, what about Cozzilla's theme? The main title actually sounds epic

It would probably sound better as an alien/space theme, buuut who am i to judge

I think the truly baffling thing is they shelled out the rights for Godzilla's theme in not only King of the Monsters, but Ready Player One as well. But not Godzilla vs. Kong?

I'm on the fence over whether or not Ifukube's theme should be in every Godzilla movie, but after Ready Player One, it's a little odd that it wasn't used in GvK.

It's a mobile game from the Chinese company NetEase, and like Tencent's games, it is full of microtransactions. They did a poor job of modeling and animating Godzilla in the game. Even the Chinese player community disliked it.

Here is Holkenborg's history with Godzilla:

“I’m such a Godzilla freak. I have all the Japanese versions of the movies. At a certain point, just for s**ts and giggles, I wrote something for Godzilla. About two years ago, I met the director because he showed interest in me as a composer. I asked him, ‘Do you know I’m the biggest Godzilla fan on the planet, and, years ago, I wrote some stuff.’ He was like, ‘You’re kidding me?’ So we started communicating, I tweaked what I did, played it for him, and he was totally in love.”

I have no idea why they tried to imitate the original theme while they had the rights to it.

It's a massive, all-out monster brawl, yet it lacks the heart of a true Godzilla film. A lot of it just didn't make much sense...

It’s not that he abandoned the OG Theme. It’s that he tried to imitate the chords and randomly placed them.

Destroy All Monsters is my favourite, so I'll choose "Revival".

Every film of the Monsterverse have wildly different scores. GvK's is probably the weakest, but it's not too bad on it's own. I don't understand, though, why Holkenborg abandoned the classic theme. Maybe he thinks he's innovative, I don't know.

My deepest apologies to Roland, Dean and all of Tristar. I really wanted to see Godzilla and was upset it was not the Lizard I knew but at least she was a big Lizard. Now days it's a new Godzilla every year and none of them are the one from 54. Godzilla 98 murderlizes shin and makes singular point look like crap. Didn't think Japan would ever shit the bed but without the core crew they just hire a new batch of no-Godzilla fans who knows not what to do. It's all money but they are making a living doing it and own the rights. I love the series and personally volunteer to direct sequels where she would be granted invincibility. To bad Godzilla 98 and Final wars Godzilla did not team up but I was part of the problem acting like a immature deviant that showed no appreciation for the sweet art or love for this beautiful God Iguana.  Such a pity. The past cannot change, the future is in motion.

I don’t think that the problem was that it didn’t have the original theme, but it tried to cheaply imitate it. The synth isn’t the problem either, for example, even though many don’t like the Godzilla Anime, it has an absolutely amazing score, made with a synth.

I know it was probably a matter of cost, but a Godzilla film without the traditional Ifukube theme really takes something away. Imagine a James Bond film without the theme; there's something missing. Junkie's score ended up sounding like one of those 1990 bargain bin video games that were based on a franchise, but couldn't pay for the rights to use the actual franchise music, so they imitated it with a synth.
