`Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire` movie review-This one is mainly about Kong. His character arc is broader and more satisfying. Also, the audience is more comfortable relating to Kong than Godzilla

Godzilla vs Kong

Film: Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire
Cast: Rebecca Hall, Kaylee Hottle, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, Alex Ferns, Fala Chen, Rachel House, Mercy Cornwall
Director: Adam Wingard
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 115 min

Gareth Edwards’ 2014 release, a highly appreciated and well recieved ‘Godzilla’ was followed by a rather erratic ‘Kong: Skull Island’ in 2017, further followed up by the low-quality ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ in 2019. Then came the dumb but fun ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ in 2021 which did rather well at the India and World-wide Box-office.

GxK manages to do what the previous iteration GvK couldn’t. This time Wingard gets the mix right and manages to right the wrongs of the earlier, rather messy sequel. This film balances spectacle of the monster battles with a fairly decent plot - just enough to keep the audience invested. The scaling is appropriate. Godzilla may not have a home run here but Kong definitely does and it’s a worthy one. Godzilla, Mothra and Shimo are just added Kaiju attractions here.
