User Reviews

The Titans were cool, but the rest seems like it was written by an AI programmed to be as nonsensical as possible

I mean, it's a Godzilla vs Kong movie. I went in expecting to see Godzilla and Kong beat the crap out of each other and I got it. The fight scenes were pretty energetic and quite well done. The CGI too was very detailed and realistically crafted. Visually, the movie was great.

But everything else was just dumb. And I mean DUMB. The way the story progresses makes no sense, the characters are boring and dull, the dialogues were mere exposition dumps, and some storylines could have been avoided entirely because they in no way contributed to the movie.

But then again, who cares. I got to see Godzilla and Kong go crazy on each other, so there's that.
