Godzilla vs Kong

Godzilla vs Kong is the sequel to both Godzilla: King of Monsters and Kong Skull Island and is the long awaited crossover of these two versions of the iconic monsters.The film stars Alexander Skarsgard, Rebecca Hall, Millie Bobbie Brown and Kyle Chandler. The film follows the humans trying to make sense of the long standing rivalry and brace for not only the battle ahead but a deeper conspiracy surrounding the two Titans.This film is exactly what you expect. It’s good, but it’s exactly what you think it’s gonna be. That isn’t a bad thing however.I’ll say for my positives, which are many, that again it’s a fun film. Beautiful CGI and cinematography, clear action, awesome designs for all the monsters. The filmmakers seemed to know what everyone wanted and gave us three really entertaining fights. I appreciated the rivalry they gave Godzilla and Kong to justify the fight. The music was fantastic! Junkie XL is quickly becoming one of my favorite working composers. The pace and runtime were actually quick and it worked for me. I’d rather spend the time with the monster fights.With a movie like this you know what you’re getting in terms of human characters, almost all of the humans are one note and greatly lacking in chemistry with any other human. However the little Deaf girl probably has more chemistry with a CGI ape then the whole cast combined. There is also a subplot that is painfully unnecessary and actually hurt my overall enjoyment. There is also a third act addition that may rub some as being VERY forced.Godzilla vs Kong is a fine popcorn movie and a fitting conclusion to this run of Monsterverse films, if they decide to go that route and reset after this.Godzilla vs Kong gets a 3.8 out of 5.
