A review of the new movie “Godzilla vs Kong”
Over the years, I’ve seen the two American versions of Godzilla and the three versions of Kong, so I was up for a movie pairing these two mega-monsters – and there were some extra factors.
It was the end of the third British lockdown of the global pandemic and I was desperate for some cinematic entertainment. It was showing at a local IMAX cinema and, if there’s a film that cries out for a huge screen, it’s this one. Finally, I was with friends including a 14 year old boy. So, I went for it.
The acting is mediocre and the dialogue is dire, while the plot is pretty crazy, but the special effects are impressive, the action is non-stop, and the noise is incredible. Prepare for a trip to Hollow Earth, the home world of the Titans, but beware of the strong reverse-gravitational effect. Exciting, huh?
No mega-monster movie would be complete without the smashing up of a well-known city and, in this case, the final titanic battle takes place in Hong Kong. The tag line for the movie is “One will fall” and, of course both monsters have their fans – but, don’t worry, it all works out and we enjoyed it.
