“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” Movie

The last time enduring movie monsters King Kong and Godzilla got together was in 2021′s Godzilla vs. Kong and, even as mindless popcorn flicks go, it was wildly stupid. To be fair, practically everyone knows who those dudes are and there’s a reason they’ve been in movies for, like, 300 years, but without the social commentary of either’s original outings, GvK was mostly about big ol’ monsters throwing hands.

Similarly, the newly released Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire makes use of the biggest ape ever and production company Toho’s lizardly champ in the most uninteresting ways possible.
