Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review - The Most Epic & Crowd-Pleasing Spectacle In The Monster Universe

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review :- Adam Wingard's previous flick in the monsterverse, Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021), even defeated the pandemic, so you can imagine the growing popularity of this cinematic universe. With Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, this cinematic universe of monsters has gone to the next level. This is the most epic, most explosive, and most crowd-pleasing spectacle in the monsterverse or any monster flick since Godzilla (1998). Those days of Jurassic Park (1993) and Godzilla (1998) are gone. Those childhood memories can never be matched. But yes, these new generation monster flicks can create new memories for new-age kinds and provide big-screen entertainment to all kinds of audiences. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire does exactly that. It may still be a kid-level story as far as on-paper creative ideas are concerned, but the visual extravaganza is too powerful to notice its lukewarm storyline. It's not Godzilla vs. Kong, but it's Godzilla and Kong! I hope that takes your excitement to a whole new level.The film begins with the introduction of Kong, who is seen fighting some fox-like creatures in his den. The next scene has Godzilla's entry, who is sleeping inside a circle-like building. Godzilla's first fight is with a spider-like giant creature, and after that, he is seen sensing something and being attracted to it. Dr. Andrews (Rebecca Hall), her adopted daughter, Jia (Kaylee Hottle), Bernie (Brian Tyree Henry), and Trapper (Dan Stevens) follow Kong through a mysterious Hollow Earth, where they discover a big threat. The untold origins of the Titans and Skull Island are set to destroy the Hollow Earth, and Kong and Godzilla must join forces to beat those powerful monsters.The story by Terry Rossio, Adam Wingard, and Simon Barrett is strictly for kids. Despite some techno-savvy and resourceful elements, the screenplay doesn't create any excitement for the upcoming events. However, it all becomes very interesting and fascinating because of the visual effects and the presentation. Cameron introduced us to the blue people's god "Ewa" in 2009, and here Godzilla Vs. Kong has an "Ewi" community, coincidentally in the blue theme only. Their God is yellowish, though. As mentioned above, it's not Godzilla vs. Kong, but Godzilla and Kong. Now, this one spoiler is allowed to set the mood right and hype you up a little more.It's like a monster version of RRR (2022). First, the two powerful and fearless heroes are against each other, but in the end, they must come together. In that film, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan were seen running through fire. Here, you'll see Kong and Godzilla making a whistle worthy entry through ice and fog. Not just that, but the next 15-20 minutes are packed with explosive and larger-than-life action spectacles with a lot of crowd-pleasing moments. In one scene, Kong is seen trying to save himself from Godzilla, but the very next scene has Kong carrying Godzilla's tail on his shoulder. Hell, that's some blockbuster monstrous stuff.The performances by Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, Kaylee Hottle, Alex Ferns, and Fala Chen are expectedly decent. Brian Tyree Henry brings a few laughs here and there, whereas Kaylee Hottle walks away with many important scenes. The production value is extremely beautiful, and the VFX work makes it a proper large-scale spectacle. Forget the other action scenes of Kong and Godzilla; those last 20 minutes of the film are alone enough to make your tickets worth their money. You'll clap, scream, hoot, and jump out of joy at seeing what's happening on screen. Before the film, fans were divided into two teams: Kong and Godzilla. But after the film, they will celebrate it together. Ben Seresin's camerawork is fine, and Josh Schaeffer's editing keeps you on the edge of your seats for nearly two hours. Adam Wingard extends his monsterverse with additional characters like Skar King, Mini Kong, and Skimu. The franchise is not limited to just Kong and Godzilla now; there are more, and that's why this one's more entertaining, more audience-friendly, and more massy. Wingard makes sure that you have a great time at the movies. Go and enjoy this gigantic entertainer in cinemas near you. Godzilla and Kong fans are in for a treat.
