Description: Two ancient
titans, Godzilla and Kong, clash in an epic battle as humans unravel their
intertwined origins and connection to Skull island’s mysteries.
Review: The world has now learned of the existence of a second world far beneeath
our earth, and the Monarch orgination knows that Gozilla is there to protect humanity
from oher monsters (Titans). Kong now lives in that Hollow Earth and searched
daily in vain for conspecifics. But then suddenly a signal turns up.
“Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire”
is a lot, but not boring. Godzilla himself doesn’t get particularly much
attention, but the build-up toward a spectacular fight is exciting. The human
characters have a fun adventure and Kong’s journey also captivates because the
emotions are aptly portrayed. You easily empathize with Kong, more then with
the humans. Because their characters are a bit flat. But these kinds of movies
you don’t go and see for them.
Dan Stevens introduces a new
character, whom I really liked. And I liked his dynamic with Brian Tyree Henry’s
character.
The universe has expanded a
bit again. Kong remains a hero. “Godzilla X Kong: The new Empire” is a
successful new installement, a simple but entertaining movie. Exactly what you
expect from a monster movie like this.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
