Trash. Story is garbage, acting is crap, but there is so little script, not much to judge on. Kong and Godzilla keep changing size, so there is no perspective. CGI is kinda cool, but that is it. Flush it.

80% an exercise on eye rolling, 20% fun. At least it was better than King of Monsters but that's not a high bar to beat.

What I will give this film is that it’s very off the wall. It’s the most out there film of the Monsterverse but it’s arguably the worst when it comes to characters and writing. The characters are absolutely atrocious. None of them are relatable at all and have almost no motivation or reason to be in the story. When the story focuses on the characters, it becomes an absolute drag. It’s unbearable at points because the dialogue is terrible. I know some might say that the characters aren’t the important part of the film and that’s true but the characters are essential for some of these events to happen so they can’t be overlooked. The action between Godzilla and Kong is pretty good. It’s not great but it’s entertaining and has its moments although sometimes, the story gets too weird for me to think about. The more I think about the story, the more disjointed and weaker it becomes. It’s good in the moment but not very good the more you think about. The visual effects though are pretty great. Godzilla and Kong look very really and some of these environments look great. The directing is passable at best. I’m not a big fan of Adam Wingard though so that might be why. The music is good at points and incredibly forgettable at others. I can’t remember a single piece of music from the film. Godzilla vs Kong is definitely entertaining but it’s probably better to watch with friends than on your own.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first meeting between Godzilla and King Kong was in 1962’s King Kong Vs. Godzilla. That movie was ground breaking stuff for that time. This time, exactly why they’re fighting -I Dunno!

Beyond some mumbo jumbo about “ancient rivalries”, it all feels rather a lame excuse to satisfy studios hungry for the next most ambitious crossover event ever.

The film really makes you work for the fun, you have to endure some boring storyline with humans before we get to the good stuff! For Godzilla vs Kong, over 40 minutes ….YES 40 mins of runtime pass until the two titans actually meet, and those minutes feel like a slog, as we’re introduced to lots of lousy story with what we can described as ‘characters’. ..I’m talking about the humans! Any time the monsters are not on screen, in fact, is draining. The plot is simple: Find Kong a new home, because there can't be two apex titans living on Earth's surface. But how to do that? The fabled Hidden World is the answer, bringing scientists played by Alexander Skarsgard and Rebecca Hall together to escort Kong to the hidden world entrance. Tagging along is deaf orphan Jia, played by a ridiculously adorable Kaylee Hottle, who can communicate with the giant gorilla. Jia is deaf—as Hottle is in real life—and she has learned to understand Kong’s thoughts via sign language. She is the only standout character from the humans here.

The scenes between the Jia and KONG, who’s about a kazillion times her size, are the movie’s best, at least as far as the ones involving humans go: It’s not just that she can communicate with Kong. She can feel the vibration of his heartbeat thrumming through the ground, cute.

But then it slows down with Millie Bobby Brown, who played daughter-of-scientists Maddison Russell in the previous movie; Julian Dennison of Deadpool; and Brian Tyree Henry as a podcast-running whistleblower. The plot? Evil Tech Company Apex Cybernetics, linked with making peaceful Godzilla angry. ---huh? Can you do better?

I feel that it’s just exposition plot points to move the story around. The writers should have come up with something, and the best they could come up is the hollow earth theory, with inner core hovercraft technology that transport monsters to another part of earth and the much anticipated Mecha- Godzilla? Its interesting but it seems so out of place in the film.

However when the titans meet, its grade A action stuff! Both really have it out and the CGI is awesome! Even though -SPOILER HERE! Kong loses a few rounds, Godzilla and Kong finally redeem one another in the final act!
Updated adult Kong, with a grizzly beard, has developed a personality. He's kind and gentle to the orphan Jia and observes a morning routine involving yawning comically and scratching his butt. Kong's view is the closeness to the human species, but still -- weirdly -- Godzilla seems underserved. Godzilla is portrayed as the villain here. Sad.
Thankfully, the final battle confuses your senses so much you forget where you are. While the action here is occasionally disjointed and hard to follow, particularly in scenes involving water, it's mostly comprehensible, and especially spectacular in the yellow, green and purple lights of a vibrant Hong Kong. You know you’re really only here for the monsters, squaring off and staring one another down, first at sea and later in the streets of Hong Kong. The final fight in Hong Kong and the monsters towering over skyscrapers its just what dreams are made off. Hmmm I wonder if CHINA would be happy to see Hong Kong destroyed…(wink wink )

You know…. sometimes you just want to switch off and watch a movie to have a fun time. This movie is neither fun or gave me a good time. Sure it had bits of fan service but that's about it. I left the theatre feeling …meh….

Trying to properly review this film is like trying to convince the world that Greedo shot Han Solo first

To sum up the film and its plot holes,….. believe me there are more but I only have one life,... the film tries to create a piece of the monsterverse and well… it has.

Was it a head turner? A film that will be iconic as the original Star Wars? No…not in a million years. This film is this generation of monsters fighting monsters. And you know what? Its an ASIAN thing..the Kaiju films that Japan started way after WW2.

Those films were a commentary of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. I guess the west cannot really relate to those films as they were the ones that dropped those bombs.… Expand

The premise isn't engaging much and hangs by a thread only to be revived by monsters facing off and the incessant roars trying to be cardinal to the title. The Monkey can talk too. It's a bore-fest with characters never seeming to catch a break at once. The oversaturated color tone during some sequences are slightly muddling the experience. If things could stop here for the monster-verse, the IP can be laid to rest with grace.… Expand

I know that films like this are supposed to be "fun" and "turn off your brain"-type, but that's exactly why I don't generally like them. I don't necessarily watch films to have fun, but to actually think and feel something sometimes. Having gotten that whole schpeel out of the way, I pretty much knew what I was getting before sitting down to watch this, and that's dumb, loud monster fights, ultimate destruction, and CGI galore. So if that's your thing, you'll likely get a kick out of this, but for me, it was very little substance and all style and flashes. Still though, the fighting is undeniably entertaining to watch at times... But that's about all the film has going for it. Not much of a deep story and very few actors/characters to actually care about, but overall, just come and stay for the loud monsters and destruction, and depending on how much you enjoy blockbusters like these will determine your enjoyment factor of this one.… Expand

The fights were great, the rest ranged from bad to imbecilic. They went full on magic with this adaptation, both for the titans but also for the planet and "technology". They even suggest that Kong made statues and an ampitheater in the past, as well as weapons and was able to figure out a power system. No, I am not kidding. This was 110% style, -10% substance. The writer(s) have no concept of physics, such as what happens when a person is instantly accelerated to a high velocity. Or standing in an area being bombarded with raidoactive breath. But the highest WTF moments were the SUDDEN 'natural' gravity inversion when it would have to be a gradient, Godzilla being able to tunnel to the core of the planet in 60 seconds, or Kong using the axe to block the beam but then raising it above is head yet the beam does not follow a straight line to Kong's face, but is 'drawn' to the axe still. I nearly forgot that bones of the dead do not a supercomputer make. Whomever wrote this should go back and finish gradeschool then they can dream of a highschool diploma. Even the CGI was very hit and miss. The same effect or object could be amazingly bad in one scene, only to be great in the next, and then go right back to cringe. In some scenes they forgot the ambient occlusion totally, making it look really amateurish as it there was global lighting but only for one creature (mostly Kong). I would suggest a good four to five drinks in you before watching this, and then just ignoring everything that is not action. Do that and you may like it more than I did. But you will still likely never want to see this again.… Expand

Well, that was total **** because he got help the whole damn movie.

But I'm just gonna be direct with my final thoughts. The plot is a disaster. Because basically there's none.
The reasons given for the conflict are ridiculous, but that's fair. Because although you can give thousands of reasons, what most people want to see are the fights between these two titans.

But the movie only gives you about 20 minutes of that, and the rest is pure filler.

A lot of people say that you can overlook the narrative lines that involve humans, but I can't do that.
How can I do that when the creator are so interested in the opposite? But it's just ridiculous considering how irrelevant they are.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters Kyle Chandler's character just wanted to save his daughter, the character played by Millie Bobby Brown.
Here, he doesn't give a damn about her.
That's just a reflection of what this movie is. At least as far as the human characters imply.

Godzilla and Kong have their moments of CGI splendor. Entertaining of course, ultimately completely empty.

It's a sight for the eyes, very true, but it's just that.
I didn't take anything from this movie. Not even a bit of awe.

The actual fights between Godzilla and Kong are good, but the rest is pretty mediocre, including the action. Human characters usually aren't the focus of these movies, but previous entries at least had passable casts. Meanwhile there isn't a single human character in this film I actually liked; and that includes the ones which came back from previous films. A large chunk of this movie is incredibly boring, with very little monster stuff, just these quirky, annoying characters being annoying. The supplemental action between the titular rivalry is poorly choreographed and just really dull. All in all it's a fun movie to watch with friends for the first time, but there's really nothing left after that. Pretty disappointing.… Expand

We finally have the release of Godzilla vs. Kong. The rumble in the jungle or more like rumble in the major city and water scenes. Massive destruction and the most epic monsters of the last century finally meet in this century. You must be able to tell my excitement or utter boredom to watch a movie released on a Wednesday; yet, here we are talking about Godzilla vs. Kong. It's the historic next chapter of two icons meeting to balance the Earth's scales while also destroying most things humanity has built. Let's see if it was worth the wait.

First, there is way too much talking in this movie. We all know what we came to see! Godzilla! Run, run, run! Oh no, it's King Kong! Save the woman he holds in his hands! Yet, the filmmakers again found it necessary to just talk talk talk talk talk talk. You have gigantic CGI Monsters to entertain us! Quit with the scenes of Eleven or the cute deaf child and mom and give us the epic fights we deserve. No actor in this movie is bad, but they also aren't memorable in the slightest. The only thing I remember is that they are holding us back from - just like I'm holding this review back to talk about nonsense - the major event Kong vs. Godzilla.

The two heroes are one word... impressive. The scenery - impressive. It feels a bit "borrowed" from Avatar but impressive nonetheless. I mean there's the total and absolute destruction of Toyko. I didn't realize the city was that large but who cares. I mean probably hundreds of thousands of people died in these battles but who's keeping track. I know the filmmakers aren't. They went full on DC Movies with the destruction in this one. Yes, it makes for an entertaining movie, except we could've stood even more battle scenes and less watch Kong run scenes. This movie was more like a King Kong therapy session rather than a battle for Earth at times. Also, I wish they featured Godzilla a bit more. Yes, we've seen his movies to sleep, but he is a star of the movie... treat him like one.

Long story short, you know what you're coming for. Don't get brand new out here and I might not even suggest risking your life in the theaters. Action and Monster fans you'll find this worth a big box but everyone else you'll definitely get a big bowl of entertainment, especially watching on HBO Max, out of this movie. Whether you're a King Kong fan or a Godzilla fan you'll enjoy... once they shut up and stop talking us through the plot.… Expand

Long story short the movie is mediocre. The story is brainless it's a movie about giant monsters smacking the **** out of each other but the rest of the franchise is consistent internally. Now the breakdown. The story like I mentioned is an absolute mess. The movie feels rushed and nothing happens for a reason. People turn on Godzilla despite the titan having a clear MO. The reason to move Kong is just there to move Kong. The constant cut from subplot to subplot is a drag. And in the end even the big fight is not fun because the monsters can take all the damage and the gratuities destruction fells hollow. The characters are pointless. They are there just to move the "plot" from one point to another. The lady in charge of Kong is for lack of a better word just stupid. She studied Kong for ten years but somehow missed that the monkey learned sign language. A former MONARCH worker tells her he needs Kong and why and she just says "ok". Mark Russell tossed all he learned from the last movie out. Madison is in the movie because reasons. The bad guy is in the movie just to die and the rest are even less impressive. But the worst part is that when the "villains" get wasted it's not even gratifying. The world is ridiculous. The first movies show a normal level of technology and explain to an extent what MONARCH is. In this movie we are met with Sci-Fi levels of tech. Borderline spaceships that repel gravity. The way into the hollow earth is a Star Trek level slip-gate. The "civilization" of ape titans made ZERO sense. A random corporation that has a mag-lev delivery tunnel from the the US to Hong Kong. Kong is en enormous enclosure that had screens all over it's interior. Energy can be recreated by downloading it's signature and on and on... The fights are just stupid. The amount of damage the monsters can take is unbelievable even for a movie like this especially when you have seen the rest of them. In the rest of the movies Godzilla's atomic breath was used sparingly in this one he is projectile vomiting it. And how many times can it get interrupted? Mechagodzilla is a huge disappointment. It shows up. It's overpowered. It dominates Godzilla. And it gets taken out in one minute.

The movie could have had a decent script, Mechagodzilla could have been a good antagonist instead of showing up at the end and getting destroyed in several hits and the fights could have had more weight to them. This movie could have been awesome instead it's an absolute mess with zero to no payoff.… Expand

Pacific Rim , now thats a good CGI flick movie, where all the characters are actually enjoyable, here there's almost no one from the cast thats even remotably ok, the monsters are ok to good, the humans are terrible, there's no plot here, wait, scratch that, theres negative plot, the kind of story that makes you loose braincells but not in a good way, its fun for the combat, skip the rest, you wont loose anything.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you think you'll enjoy this movie then you probably will. It's pretty much everything you'd want in a monster movie with the exception of any interesting human characters. The conspiracy guy, the fat kid, and eleven from stranger things have a side plot that adds literally nothing to the story. Pretty much the entire point of those characters existence is for the reveal of mechagodzilla. Which could of easily been done JUST using the stereotypical evil corporation man. The only character I found interesting was the little girl that could communicate with Kong. At least she had a **** purpose. But I'm ngl I had so much fun with the visuals and fight scenes that it pretty much makes up for lack of well written characters. The writers clearly struggled making the human characters useful. The dumbest scene in the movie was when the fat kid hacked mechagodzilla by pouring liquor on the computer. (Yes that actually happened no joke)

Go watch The Host if you want a monster movie where the characters actually matter. This movie struggles with the exact same things every other modern godzilla movie. **** human parts that get in the way of what we really want apposed to actually adding to the story.… Expand

Starts slow. A few scenes from the humans that weren't really necessary, but other than that what an epic film exactly what I imagined the fights would be. #restorethesnyderverse

Godzilla vs Kong is the latest Monsterverse film, and may even be the worst and dumbest of the series - despite the abundant fan service.

As is usual for the series, the human factor is awful, dumb and annoying. Why on Earth does MillieGodzilla vs Kong is the latest Monsterverse film, and may even be the worst and dumbest of the series - despite the abundant fan service.

As is usual for the series, the human factor is awful, dumb and annoying. Why on Earth does Millie Bobby Brown return as Madison Russell, she does absolutely nothing in this movie (at least in the previous movie she played a tiny role in the plot, which was an improvement compared with the new movie where she is non existent). Why on Earth does the Monarch organization appear again, they do nothing and never join the fight or even become a part of the plot. Last but not least, I can't stand that conspiracy theorist who has become the new hero of the movie. Or that fat kid who saves the day in the most ridiculous way (I mean how on Earth does alcohol short circuit a giant robot from a couple miles away?).

The kaiju part though is spectacular. We finally see Godzilla and King Kong go toe to toe on multiple occasions, and in the end Godzilla emerges victorious after an awesome scene where Godzilla and Kong scream at each other face-to-face for half a minute, just like 2 animals fight for supremacy in the wild.

But even the kaiju part is far from perfect. So far we've seen these giant monsters being heavy and slow, and now we see Godzilla run towards his enemies, as if we were viewing an old film with actors wearing rubber suits. Also Godzilla has an infinite supply of Atomic Breath with no cooldown, and poor Kong almost gets massacred.

The most beautiful part of the movie was the Hollow Earth where Kong travels to his ancestral home and some humans are following behind. Also Kong finds a new weapon in the depths of the planet.

If the movie stopped at the fight between Godzilla and Kong it would have been good enough ("good" in relative terms). But no, the director decides to throw Mecha-Godzilla in the mix as the cherry on the top, just to turn an average movie definitely into a bad one. Mecha-Godzilla (who is implied to be under the influence of one of King Ghidorah's severed heads who dies in the previous film) easily overpowers both Godzilla and Kong and they finally defeat the robot by working together. But before that can happen, the fat kid had to throw some alcohol into some electric station so that he short-circuits the robot due to some out-of-nowhere logic. *sigh*

With this being apparently the final Monsterverse movie, I can only recommend people watch 2017's Kong: Skull Island and 2014's Godzilla movies. Watch 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters and 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong at your own peril.… Expand

I thought it was OK, the monster fights are actually quite awesome but everything else, all the human stuff was really quite boring. It was much better than king of the monsters tho, at least this was shorter.

Bad CGI. No plot. No twists. Just Godzilla. And Kong. By the way it should be named ''Kong vs. Godzilla'' because there's much more Kong than Godzilla.

Hard to write something very positive about this. I love the idea of a great monster movie clash, and though they have two of the very top dogs in this, it is all just so heavily, heavily disneyfied.

I love the idea of a great monster movie clash, and though they have two of the very top dogs in this, it is all just so heavily, heavily disneyfied. The scenes where we did get the big lads going at it were I suppose, just about worth the 'price of admission' and to give this movie a very generous 5.5/10, but the little girl and her pet monkey trope and the ragtag nincompoops sideplot were intolerable. At least they didn't shove in a romance angle, so at least there's that...but they could have made a truly brutal, epic, pound-for-pound slugfest of a battle film, and they didn't - to be 'safe' I suppose.

Both these titans deserve better.… Expand

Don't know I found it a bit boring except for the big fights and some of it also really random like with all the stuff of how they stopped mechagodzilla etc.

Its been a while since I wrote a review about a movie, yet I felt compelled to write one about this one, because I think there has been a general misconception or I don't know, some sort bad realization that the more a movie embraces itsIts been a while since I wrote a review about a movie, yet I felt compelled to write one about this one, because I think there has been a general misconception or I don't know, some sort bad realization that the more a movie embraces its bizarreness or in my point of view, its stupidity, then the better. Such is the case for Godzilla vs. Kong a movie that throws all logic out the window, and looses all of its levity for it, but somehow is praised heavily all around by critics because this is what a movie like this is supposed to be. I would like to differ.

One could argue that having a movie about a giant lizard or a giant monkey terrorizing earth and now fighting each other is already a concept that throws all reasoning down a precipice, but that is the thing, a filmmaker's job, or at least a good filmmaker's objective should be to make us actually care and better yet, to make us question "what if". A good example of this is Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park which also played with an idea that as far as we know is impossible, yet he made it in such a way that made us scared. I am willing to bet that more than one person asked while watching Jurassic Park: "would you imagine if that happened?"- to whoever they went to see it with. There is the magic.

Yet this movie is filled with incredibly simple, generic and absolutely illogical characters that just look incredibly stupid. The villain here could easily fit in any cartoon movie, and so is the scientist who goes a long with Kong. Worst yet, the plot and the whole objective to go to the center of the Earth...its just...too much. The writing here is embarrassing, and it made it frustratingly difficult to finish the movie.

A shame really, because the actual spectacle, the fighting, is pretty cool and plays well with scale, showing off how immense both of this monsters are. But here is whats frustratring about it all: Every outlet talking good on this film talks how amazing the fights are, but how dumb and boring the human parts are, yet because we paid to go see them fight and that delivers, then the movie is worthwhile, but such is not the case, not by a long shot. Considering the fighting is only a quarter of the whole movie, its simply not worth it, and worst yet, it just feels like a lost opportunity to truly make something special and memorable.

All of this comes as a result of the incredibly flat idea, that the less human plot we have on this type of films the better because people just want to see what they want to see, the spectacle, but with movies like this where I saw how bored and uninterested my family was while watching it (FYI: They love this kind of monster/disaster type of movies), and how disappointed I was myself, it just made it abundantly clear how important good characters and good plot are, even with this type of movies.… Expand
