Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review: At this point, I might be entering my big monster phase of adulthood—developmental psychologists usually call this the mid-thirties. I’m all in on the Monster Verse for better, worse, and in this case, just OK.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire drops the adversarial ‘versus’ of the previous film in the series, and unfortunately loses some of the fun conflict with it. These titans got most of their good fights out in Godzilla Vs Kong, and honestly, they should have been kept apart a while longer before being smashed into another team-up film.
As with the rest of the movies in this franchise, one of Godzilla x Kong’s greatest failings is the humans that aren’t comic relief. This movie is about a Hollow Earth beneath another Hollow Earth, we don’t need a side story about parenting. As the Monster Verse continues, it either needs to hire better writers for these emotional moments or toss them to the side entirely. Fortunately, the two main sources of comic relief in Dan Stevens’s, Trapper a Titan veterinarian/adventurer, and Brian Tyree Henry’s, Bernie, a conspiracy podcaster, were a delight. Their carefree nearly-bromance throughout the perils in Hollow Earth is one of the best parts of this film.
Now, onto bromances that aren’t as fulfilling, Godzilla and Kong. Unfortunately, the storylines of these two titans are mostly separate for the entirety of the film. Kong’s feels fully fleshed out and interesting, if a little overdone, but Godzilla feels more like an afterthought. Aside from using the Roman Coliseum as a dog bed, there’s not much for our favorite lizard to do. There was potential for some more King of the Monsters-style action, but it never felt fully delivered and was rushed. Ultimately, I don’t think the film needed both Godzilla and Kong. Future entries would do well to focus on one or the other before trying another team-up movie.
