King Kong Vs. Godzilla: 10 Reasons You Should Be Excited
5. It's Long Overdue
To be perfectly honest, the original King Kong vs. Godzilla has not stood the test of time. Of course fans love it, flaws and all, but there is no denying that the film doesnt quit live up to the premise because of the limitations of the time. Its silly to a fault, and Kong looks atrocious. But the biggest cop out of the original is the supposed victory of Kong, who was the only one to emerge from the ocean after the two of them tumbled in. With such an anticlimactic ending, this rivalry has been begging for a rematch, and yet for 50 years it never came. This is why a new King Kong vs. Godzilla is worth getting invested in. It deserves a remake, especially since so much time has passed, and in an era where Spider-Man gets rebooted every few years, why shouldnt it get it? This is a story that could use an update given the time and nature of the original. Should the film prove successful, it would rejuvenate both characters and their franchises while popularizing an entire genre for a new generation, all in a single stroke. Considering this, its no surprise the studios are seemingly pushing for it.
