Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Review: I was fairly disappointed with this movie. For a ‘turn your brain off’ movie my brain had to be turned on way too much. And I honestly got a little bored. I don’t expect much from these movies, but they should never be boring. That’s like the only rule. The movie was kind of funny so I’ll give it that. Maybe sometimes at the wrong moments, but overall it definitely brought some comedic tones that I’m usually a fan of in movies. 

High: The effects of course. Kong & Godzilla have both evolved in character design through the course of these movies which is really fun. The shot of Godzilla in the Colosseum was dope and the SPOILERS Shattering of Skar King was sick.

Low: The storyline got a little convoluted. That should never be the case in a Godzilla movie. It’s okay for the plot just to be Godzilla destroys stuff and fights other monsters and that’s it. I appreciate what they’re trying to do by bringing in all this lore, but the whole movie feels like a big lore dump and there’s so much to keep up with. 

Rating: 5.5/10
