On April 3, 2024, two of pop culture’s most iconic monsters will meet in cinemas: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! In 2021, after the titanic lizard and the magnanimous monkey meet, the two creatures never leave each other. This new feature film is again directed by Adam Wingard.
In the United States, the work enjoyed a public preview in Los Angeles and the first reviews are in! Note that The New Kingdom is the 5th film in the MonsterVerse franchise following Godzilla (2014), Kong Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and Godzilla vs. After Kong (2021).
Two television series have also been produced: Skull Island (2023), released on Netflix, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023), which airs on Apple TV+. In anticipation of the release of Godzilla x Kong on April 3rd, here are the first thoughts on the film.
What do the first American viewers think?
This is what Michael Lee tells us “Godzilla x Kong is a loud brawl between titans with a little human heart that delivers on an emotional level. But viewers who come just for the fight will get a very impressive tag team match between Godzilla and Kong against Scar King and Shimo.”
On the other hand, Aaron Neuvirth is also convinced: “Godzilla x Kong is a movie that got me hooked in more ways than one! Tons of action with Kaiju, Kong’s brutal villain, the mighty Godzilla, Dan Stevens Which has fun, surprises and lots of color. Bring me more MonsterVerse!”
“Godzilla x Kong is the most enjoyable movie in the MonsterVerse, where everyone seems to understand the mission. The plot is a bit thin, but the destruction of the Titans more than makes up for it.”
“Godzilla x Kong is a kaiju movie with non-stop fun action that monster movie fans will love. Both Godzilla and Kong take center stage in this latest installment of the Monsterverse. Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens have fun together. But this movie belongs to giant monsters.”
Godzilla Ride.”
“Godzilla x Kong suffers from an extremely slow start due to the lack of dialogue, which makes it more funny than entertaining. When the titans clash, the action is incredible, but it’s not enough. The movie is great, but unfortunately it misses more than it hits. “.
“Godzilla x Kong is a very good King Kong movie. The human story is particularly clumsy (bad Rebecca Hall loaded with so many cheeky explanations), but Kong has so many scenes centered around him that I fell in love with the big guy. And the final fight sequence is pure monster fun. “
“Godzilla x Kong is a blast! A fantastically weird and psychedelic journey through the Showa era. It’s a wacky adventure with crimson monkeys, frosty dragons, a deliciously insane Dan Stevens. Another fun episode in the MonsterVerse!”
“Godzilla x Kong didn’t hit the mark like the previous movie. The fight scenes weren’t as exciting. The human plot is even worse and uninteresting. The final act was still fun.”
“Godzilla x Kong is a grand spectacle that shines with its techno-colored visuals. The epic battles between the titans are breathtaking and accompanied by a story with a lot of heart. And then Dan Stevens walks around in a Hawaiian shirt for two hours.”
If you want to make up your own mind, Godzilla x Kong: The New King hits theaters on April 3rd! Get ready for a titanic battle!
