Godzilla x Kong: New Empire comes three years after Kong and Godzilla’s first interaction in the Monsterverse (Godzilla versus Kong). The film continues the story of the Monsterverse, expanding its universe’s scope and lore to new depths (literally). The film contains a lot more comedic moments than some of the previous Monsterverse films but it compensates with a lot of cool action. Many of the fights are enhanced by the set pieces as every location is affected by the clashes, and every impact is felt. This is a Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire No Spoiler Review. So, read on!
In short, I think the film did what it set up to do very well, have the Titans engage in massively epic fights while having a nicely executed story woven between the action. While the human plot is alright the fights are what everyone came for. I personally love the addition of wrestling moves into the fights making the clashes more realistic as every movement seems grounded in some way. The impacts of every attack can be felt in the locations as I mentioned earlier paired with the dynamic fighting proves that the monsterverse still has it when it comes to kaiju fights. In short, the film is very fun and enjoyable and continues the story of a solid cinematic universe.
