Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire features a series of intense battles between the monsters, while the human characters appear less frequently. With viewers eager to see stunning scenes, they will witness an epic showdown between the two factions: Godzilla – Kong and Skar King – Shimo.
Audience AN:
This film has many appealing points for me. There are numerous engaging visual effects showcasing the monsters, with a good portion of the scenes dedicated to Kong and a more powerful version of Godzilla being introduced. However, the character played by Dan Stevens is quite intriguing. The plot has a few unexpected details that are cleverly intertwined. The film’s color palette is genuinely vibrant. I am eagerly anticipating the next installments of the MonsterVerse.
Some opinions noted that the character development is the weakest aspect of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The limited appearance of human actors also presents a significant challenge for the team. Some viewers remarked that the team spent too much time opening the storyline, as they could hardly utilize the characters’ dialogues to drive the plot forward.

For me, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the best film in the MonsterVerse franchise. I feel that the entire team understands what they need to do. The script is impressive, but the action sequences are truly spectacular.
Audience AJS:
Director Adam Wingard has truly immersed himself in the cinematic universe. The film resembles a grand opera, with its soundtrack featuring some of the greatest hits from the 1980s. The script is quite simple yet strikingly profound, akin to a love letter sent to the iconic monsters of this cinematic universe.
While the film’s content has not been revealed in great detail, through the trailer, viewers can expect the storyline to revolve around Kong and Godzilla’s adventure exploring the Land of the Hollow Earth. Here, they are likely to discover their own origins while dealing with the looming threat of Skar King — a titan that appears to be a formidable and menacing force. Meanwhile, Shimo — the fierce and cunning antagonist — is a titan with immense power that poses a serious challenge.
