I think the problem is I'm worrying about how the DCEU crashed and burned due to that under 2 hours mandate for Justice League.  It would be totally fine if Godzilla Vs Kong was only 2 hours and 20 minutes.  Point is, I feel like the MonsterVerse has been trying to avoid the DCEU's mistakes.

The same way most blockbusters resolve major plot points in less than two hours. Competent writing and pacing and delivering pertinent information in a timely manner.

None of which matters either way if the studio mandates a 2 hour runtime, because film is a business and they want it to make as much money as possible.

Ok, but I’m talking about the major plot points.  How will it be resolved in less than two hours??

I already have. Multiple times.

It feels too big for 1hr and 53mins.

Tell me why that runtime is reasonable...

sonictiger,
Indeed. It was three hours because the studio had very reasonable faith and metrics in a movie that was the culmination of 21 films which had been major successes at the box office and pulled over $18 Billion overall.

Godzilla vs. Kong is only the culmination of three movies that have only pulled in around $1.5 Billion and the last movie flopped at the box office.

The studio won't risk maximizing its profits by making it a 3 hour movie. I don't understand why the 1 hour and 53 minute runtime is so hard to believe.

There’s a reason why endgame was 3 hours

As I've said repeatedly, most Blockbuster movies have just as many plot points, if not more, and are usually resolved in a rounded 2 hours.

Even if that weren't the case, studios like to keep movies within a 2 hour time frame so they can have more showings per day. The longer the movie, the less showings theaters can fit into their schedule and the less money it potentially makes.

The movie will not be close to 3 hours. It's bad for business.

Major plot points can’t be resolved in less than 2 hours

Google is unreliable as it just takes algorithms from any unverified source. At one point it said this:
The 2 hour and 52 minutes runtime was taken from an imdb post a fan made. It was removed from imdb 2 months ago. The 2 hour and 52 minute runtime is false.

AlloCine is a verified source, because it gets its information directly from studios.

The movie will not be 3 hours. I would prepare to be disappointed if you are hoping otherwise.

Yup.

Google actually says the movie runs for 2hrs and 52mins.

im pretty sure I yhave a couple of these toys in my collection

you know, they really dont make toys like these anymore

You mean these toys?

Yeah. You could say I've heard of them.

Like anime Ghidorah, which no one besides a few people seemed to like.

A 3 hour Monster Movie that is nothing but chaos and destruction as Titans beat it out and a third menacing force introduces itself? Omg I can only pray. 29 more days.

I am still playing the PS4 game, I enjoy the 3 player free for all. Especially when it gets chaotic!

I love the slim design, and if it is a Mecha-G only designed to counter Godzilla then i believe the big G is gonna lose/die in this Movie as Kong will have an advantage against something not designed to counter. And the Monsterverse will move on with Kong.

I love it when they fully redesign a concept. Gives it more originality. More realism.

maybe

I vaguely remembered those toys, I wasn't no where near the Godzilla fanboy I am today. Since the only thing Godzilla I was exposed to was reruns of Godzilla Power Hour on Cartoon Network back in the early 90's. I never saw a live action Godzilla movie until a couple of years later at a video rental place forget the name, that I saw Godzilla vs Monster Zero (aka Godzilla vs the Astro Monster)

First comment

I agree,it would be interesting if since there arent much people dying the government would have a sluggish response to godzilla

Sure yeah but I only included the arcs that had any value whatsoever.

sonictiger,
You also forgot Mark getting roped into Monarch to find his family, Emma's wishy-washy arc, the introduction of Rodan and Mothra, the sub-plot of giving Godzilla a booster shot with nukes. (Which was stupid...)

The list probably goes on. You could literally do this with any movie.

sonictiger,
I didn't say there were no massive plot points. I said there were, "no more massive points/characters to juggle than most Blockbuster films."

You could make lists like that for a lot of moves that stay around 2 hours these days.

Challenge accepted.

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters major plot points: Godzilla vs Ghidorah, MONARCH trying to stop the eco-terrorists from freeing the titans, Eco-Terrorists trying to unleash the Titans

Done.

You could do he same for KOTM 

NO MASSIVE PLOT POINTS?????

Plot points: Godzilla and Kong doing battle in probably 3 fights with two of them in the final act, MONARCH uncovering the origins of the Titans in Hollow Earth, Madison figuring out what's going on with Godzilla and APEX's involvement.

I just listed all the major plot points.

King of the Monsters was juggling the introduction of new characters and four new monsters. Granted I don't think it was very good, so perhaps that's why I felt it was too long. But the point is GvK has no more massive plot points/characters to juggle than most Blockbuster films and fitting it into a 2 hour runtime should be fine.

But there's no possible way the studio would allow this movie to get anywhere close to 3 hours. Especially with the way King of the Monsters flopped at the box office. They want to maximize how many screens show it a day and the best way to do that is to keep the runtime tight.

I sending that I realized I sent you a link after telling you not to click them

After clicking the links, I’ve determined that they are promoting these games.

Tip of the day, Never trust links. You never know where it will take you or if it will install malware. Unless you get a link from a site or person you trust and know do not click on links.

Many links leading to Phishing Websites that ask for your personal information. Here is a article on them by the Federal Trade Commision

This text keeps getting republished in articles.

Does anyone know Why?  
I thought maybe it was advertising but after reading through it again, it doesn’t look like it.

The whose side are you on one?

or the legends will collide?

The One with Kong and Godzilla in the glowing city fighting is my favorite 

Couldn't find the movie text on the photoshop.

But thank you!
