Hi Geeks!
Went to see the new movie in Legendary Pictures Monsterverse universe. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. A sequel to 2021 Godzilla Vs. Kong follows on a few years later.
Godzilla is keeping track of Titans which attack the surface and killing them to protect us humans. Kong is still searching Hollow Earth for his own kind.
Jia, the sole survivor of Skull Island and who communicated with Kong in Godzilla Vs. Kong is having visions. This leads the humans to find another faction of her tribe in Hollow Earth. They believe she will awaken Mothra. This is so Mothra can unite Godzilla and Kong to team up to fight against the Scar King. An evil giant orangutan who controls an ice titan called Shimo.
Overall - as you can see from my description of the film, the plot is a bit convoluted. I haven't even described it all. It is mainly a plot to get the titans fighting, which works well but can get messy.
As with these films, the main draw is the fights between the monsters. The CGI is great and there are some good fights. Although I feel Godzilla is short-changed and not in much. Plus the final fight between Kong, Godzilla and Scar and Shimo is over too quickly. It seems to be rushed and only lasts about 10 minutes.
It is still an enjoyable movie but not as good as the last couple of Monsterverse films.
Score - 8.5/10
