GODZILLA VS KONG

 

I saw Godzilla Vs Kong! It’s been a long time since we’ve been privy to a movie worthy of anything remotely resembling a proper theater experience. This movie breaks that streak. It’s time to dust off that popcorn maker, grab a big comfy blanket and turn the speakers all the way up because this movie is nothing but fun.

 

The movie marks the fourth in the Godzilla universe marrying the world of Godzilla to Kong: Skull Island. Here, we follow a grown-up Kong and a team of scientists who are struggling to keep him hidden from a rampaging Godzilla. Meanwhile, a tech company seeks to find a solution for the all worlds overgrown animal problems. 

 

Some people have been very critical of this movie and to their point I understand why. You can easily pull out your microscope and pick it to shreds if you want to but seeing as the plot is essentially Nuke Lizard vs Super Monkey, any criticism of the movie beyond it not being entertaining is completely ridiculous. All this movie really needs to do is deliver the hits and in that respect it really does. It’s an enormous, popcorn fest of silly, over the top, wreck-everything-and-leave action that is in no way serious and in every way fun to watch and at the same time manages to pull off a tiny bit of heart along the way. Don’t worry too much about the people, don’t worry about the logistics behind the plot, don’t worry about anything except having a good time. 

 

After the horrible train wreck of a year that was 2020, here’s a big ball of fire and confusion you can enjoy. Godzilla Vs Kong gets an overgrown, laser breath blowing, electric axe wielding, robot rampaging 3.5... out of 5.
