REVIEW SUMMARY
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a "more" version of the previous installment. More Hollow Earth, more Titans, more gloriously giant fights filled with fantastic visual effects... and much more nonsense too. Through an openly absurd narrative, Adam Wingard takes the charm and chemistry of his cast to help focus the film's main spotlight on the titanic protagonists, Godzilla and Kong, delivering two hours of pure, unadulterated entertainment. It won't convert the most skeptical, but it will certainly solidify the unashamed passion of MonsterVerse fans.
