Basically if you're expecting giant monster fights, you'll get your money's worth.

Why do people like these movies? The only movie that is filled with more cgi nonsense than the mind numbing avengers is gorilla vs Kong. If I wanted to rob my soul of all emotion, then I would go see this oversatursted wanton orgy of excessive visuals and nothing more. I'm really glad covid happened because it opened the way for more authentic drama movies which was sorely lacking.

You're stupid. You don't realise that it's literally the job of a child to wonder why adults like the things they don't. Tedious moron. |

According to one of the reviews, Godzilla and Kong are manipulated into fighting each other, but eventually they team up to fight the film's real baddie, a 20-story-stall cyborg. I wonder if this is MechaGodzilla or a retconned Jet Jaguar? |

A gritty, CGI Jet Jaguar would be fucking hilarious, though. |

What a stinker. The weakest of the "monsterverse" movies.

What a stinker. The weakest of the "monsterverse" movies. We're a long way from Gojira and King Kong '33, but I thought it was okay by "monsterverse" standards. It's predictable and stupid as all hell, but it had more of a sense of humor which I think can be credited to Wingard. Not to say more jokes are the solution to all movies, but the other three were equally stupid with a misplaced sense of grimdarkness and pretention (why would you ever compare your movie where a giant ape uses an anchor as brass knuckles to Apocalypse Now?). If you've always wanted to see Godzilla and Kong fight with a gigantic budget, you certainly get that (emphasis on "see" - the action isn't shrouded in pitch darkness). Wasn't expecting much else.

Just finished it...very enjoyable monster fight flick. All anyone really wants from these films is giant monsters fighting and this one delivered. I was worried early that they’d weigh it down with human storylines but they really didn’t. And once Godzilla comes crashing through the water hunting Kong...it was ON!!!

Watched it this evening. The fights are great but everything else sucks. Millie Bobby Brown and her cliché sidekicks are superfluous and add nothing and the villains are one note and uninteresting. I don't care for any of the other human characters either.
I think Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the best one these movies so far.

Your mistake is thinking that people can't enjoy both fun, action movies and authentic dramas. Whoever told you they can't, lied to you.

Thank goodness for the children.This is another movie where children save the day from evil and/or incompetent adults.
BASIC PLOT
- Kong is not happy in Kong biosphere.
- Incompetent human adults kidnap Kong to bring him to Antartica where there is an entrance to the center of the Earth.
- Kong's naval escort is intercepted by Godzilla. Godzilla and Kong have an epic battle. Godzilla wins round one.
- Kong is air lifted to Antarctica. He and humans fall through a wormhole to the center of the Earth.
- The center of the Earth is replete with light, oxygen, plants, trees, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and of course, dinosaurs.
- Kong is king of the center of the Earth. He even has a throne down there.
- Godzilla burns a hole down to the center of the Earth. Kong climbs up that hole from the center of the Earth, to the surface of the Earth.
- Kong and Godzilla have epic battle. Kong wins round two.
- Kong and Godzilla have another epic battle. Godzilla wins round three.
- Apparently King Kong is controlled by an eight year old deaf child. He virtually does whatever she says. (Thank goodness for the children.) She tells him, "Godzilla is not your enemy. He is your friend. By the way, he needs your help."
- Kong looks over to see Godzilla battling mechanical Godzilla created by evil human corporation run by evil adults.
- Two other children break into the evil corporation and get control of the mechanical Godzilla control board. (Thank goodness for the children.)
- They can't override mechanical Godzilla's program. So one kid pours a drink on the control board to short out mechanical Godzilla. (Thank goodness for the children)
- Kong and Godzilla decide they cannot be friends. But they will settle for Godzilla controlling the water. And Kong controlling the land.
- Kong returns to the center of the Earth. But he needs human supervision.
-------- This is a movie for kids, and adults who can suspend disbelief. There is plenty of action and violence. No nudity or sex. Couple of curse words. I gave it a 10 for action and special effects. A 1 for plot. Half way between 1 and 10 is my rating of 5.
