Review: Godzilla vs. Kong

 

Hello, Everybody! I've just watched the long-awaited cinematic event, Godzilla vs. Kong. 

It takes place after the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters and 40 years after Kong: Skull Island and is the third film in WB/Legendary's Monterverse. It follows a group of scientists who take King Kong to his true home in Hollow Earth where other monsters reside. Along for the ride is a young girl named Jia, an orphaned girl with a strong bond to the powerful ape. However, they end up in the path of Godzilla and an epic clash ensues. 

Godzilla vs. Kong stars Rebecca Hall, Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Julien Dennison, Brian Tyree Henry, Kyle Chandler, Eiza Gonzalez, Demián Bichir and Shun Oguri and is directed by Adam Wingard and is composed by Junkie XL.

If you've come for Kaiju battles rather than human drama, you're in the right place. Godzilla vs. Kong has EVERYTHING you'd want in a Monster action film, epic fights and gorgeous visual effects. I personally enjoyed the HELL out of this movie, I loved expertly crafted fight scenes and as far as monster movies go, this has hit its peak. I didn't really care as much about the human characters, because you go see the monsters fight and not the humans do stuff while the monster stuff is happening. But.... I loved Brian Tyree Henry in this one, I thought his character was funny and the plot point with the girl and Kong touched my heart. 

I'm so impressed with what Adam Wingard did this film and I think he did a fantastic job with it. I really thought Death Note(2017) was it for him. This was major step-up from that shitty movie. I'm looking forward to see what he does next.

I'm going to give this...

a 4/5

Again, I loved the monster fights, I just didn't care as much about some of the human characters.
