A phenomenal director
A great film is made by a great director who has a vision along with a quintessential storyline. Directed by Adam Wingard, this movie is a testimony to how two classic cults can be joined together to make an outcome that is unimaginable for the viewers, where fans of both the franchises are happy and satisfied. Making Godzilla vs. Kong was a herculean task but considering Mr. Wingard's experience in the industry, he made it look like a cakewalk.
A movie which is packed with action and drama
Fully packed with action and drama, this movie is much more than any other action film. Why, you ask? Because people, too, are fighting with the monsters simultaneously as they are fighting with each other. The question in this movie is not about who is right, but about the survival of the fittest. With never-ending intense action scenes and great graphics, this movie is sure to give viewers an adrenaline rush that they were long craving.
The amazing soundtracks
A great action film always needs a soundtrack and background music that amplifies the experience of the viewers. Godzilla vs. Kong is all about that. Tom Holkenborg, the music composer for this movie, has given us some iconic soundtracks from movies such as Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate, Army of the Dead, The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, Madagascar 3: Europe's most wanted and so many. The pumping bass in Godzilla vs. Kong will align your heartbeat with the beats of the background score and soundtrack and will make you feel as if you are in the movie watching the action scenes for real.
