Godzilla vs Kong (2021) Trailer Review

So yesterday we finally got our first big look at Godzilla vs Kong with the first trailer coming out and here are the main things I have noticed from watching it. 

Is Godzilla being set up as a villain? 

The trailer is set up as a hero vs villain story, Kong is clearly set up as the good guy with Godzilla as a villain. It is an interesting idea and I guess if you are going to do this there had to be a reason of the fight and Godzilla going crazy is a pretty logical reason to bring Kong over for the brawl. 

Who is controlling Godzilla?

It is also made pretty clear that Godzilla isn't acting out on his own accord and is being somewhat controlled by somebody and the question is who? The only person really set up in this universe is Charles Dance's character from King of The Monsters but I am not sure that is exactly where they are going with this. 

Will the human characters be interesting? 

One big criticisms of both the Kong films and the Godzilla films is the human cast and the fact that they are shoved in our face instead of these monsters fighting. This film has a good cast, Rebecca Ferguson, Millie Bobby Brown and Alexander Skarsgard are all here but these films have had talented performers before and lets hope this film finds the right balance between them and the monsters. 

Will we see MechaGodzilla? 

It seems unlikely that Godzilla vs Kong will be the endgame for the film and that they will be made to team up against a larger threat and why not MechaGodzilla. We have seen hints and teases to the character and it could tell an interesting story of these natural monsters taking on the machine monster and would be epic on screen. 

Will the film hit it's March release date? 

This film is scheduled to come out in March, but there is no date on this trailer just 2021. This film is set to come out in the cinema and I think this film is one of those that needs to be experienced on the big screen. With cinemas still shut across the world the question has to come whether the film will get delayed or will it push through and force people to watch it at home. 

Will one of the Titans die? 

The trailer makes out that either Godzilla or Kong will fall, so if one is going to die who could it be. Honestly, the only inkling I have is that Godzilla has been in more films so I guess it could be him that dies. But I think this is just for marketing and I can't see either of the main characters dying as there is clearly more crossover potential. 

Overall

Overall, it is just so great to see a big blockbuster trailer and this film looks epic and huge in scale. I think everybody is looking forward to Kong vs Godzilla and I can't wait to see the titans clash hopefully on the big screen.
