The plot: Godzilla and the almighty Kong face a colossal threat hidden deep within the planet, challenging their very existence and the survival of the human race.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was Good.
Pros: It was a spectacle having both Godzilla & Kong front and centre teaming up were quite exciting. I enjoyed Rebecca Hall’s character & also Kaylee Hottle. There are a lot of action sequences which were devastating and the movie did show a bit more personality with Kong this time around.
Cons: There was not that much of screentime for Godzilla in my opinion. Other than Rebecca Hall & the deaf girl I didn’t like any of the other human characters and was not a lot of explaining happening of certain moments in the film.
