‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Review: The MonsterVerse Offers The Best Titan Battle Royale Action Yet
The fourth film in the Legendary series pits the franchise’s two heavyweights against each other. However, after a frustrating third installment, it is the spectator who triumphs.
MonsterVerse from Legendary Entertainment isn’t playing around: After seven years and four films, the franchise is already delivering the kind of epic battle royale that other series will take decades to develop. Adam Wingard’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” pits two of cinema’s most beloved overgrown villains (with hearts of gold, sorta) against each other in a bombastic franchise entry unafraid to borrow liberally from each other film that came before, while still creating its own distinct vibe.

There’s already a mishmash attraction to the MonsterVerse, which has jumped and skipped through directors, characters, and time spans to produce a series that makes sense, sorta, at least if you don’t look at it too hard. Wingard approaches such messy material with a hearty sense of respect and an eye for what truly makes this thing work. From Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” (the elegant one) to Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ “Kong: Skull Island” (the fun ones) and even Michael Dougherty’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (the terrible one), “Godzilla vs. Kong” fuses and tweaks the series into an amusing fourth (and final?) feature.
Wingard’s film picks up after “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” with the remaining “Alpha Titans” — presumably, Godzilla and Kong (remember when these things were called MUTOs?) — at a loose end. Godzilla once thought to be humanity’s savior, now roams the ocean alone; Kong is stranded on Skull Island, trapped under a futuristic bubble intended to prevent the raging sea (and future foes) from crushing what appears to be the giant ape’s fragile life. Both have human defenders — Millie Bobby Brown reprises her role as Godzilla superfan Madison Russell, with Kyle Chandler making a brief appearance as her father; Kong is guarded by “Kong Whisperer” Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), and her charming deaf daughter Jia (Kaylee Hottle) — and, man, are Godzilla and Kong going to need them.
When Godzilla threatens the (evil) Apex Corporation’s Pensacola, Florida outpost, he sets off a chain reaction that traps a variety of humans and even Kong himself. Despite beginning with Godzilla and the mystery of why the former good guy Titan is breaking up corporate strongholds, “Godzilla vs. Kong” is much more invested in Kong’s involvement in this epic adventure. Skull Island can’t keep him in, and based on his contempt for the fancy bubble that surrounds him, he’ll be free in weeks. When Apex brass (including Demián Bichir and Shun Oguri) devises a plan to a) sorta free Kong and b) use him to find an energy source capable of fighting Godzilla, even Ilene is intrigued. even Ilene goes for it.
She’s joined by Dr. Nathan Lind (a low-key Alexander Skarsgård), who believes in the “Hollow Earth theory” (i.e., all Titans were originally the inhabitants of the literal center of the Earth), young Jia (the sole surviving member of Skull Island’s Iwi tribe, who has a deep bond with Kong), and an oddly pissed-off Maia Simmons (Eiza González, as Bichir’s daughter). A few convoluted twists and turns aside, the venture at the heart of the film is relatively simple: Apex will use Kong as their guide into Hollow Earth. There, they will find an energy source that will allow Apex and Kong to take out Godzilla and return Earth to the humans.

While “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” delivered plenty of inter-Titan battles, most of them were almost impossible to see (and sopping wet to boot). Wingard literally stages his first Titan face-off in the middle of the sea, but he also assembles a far more coherent assortment of battles for his baddies to partake in. He also doesn’t tease them out too long either: Within the first 40 minutes of “Godzilla vs. Kong,” the duo are battling it out. The film’s final act is almost entirely devoted to fighting, which includes a super-powered foe for both of them. (Godzilla fans can likely guess where this is going and they won’t be disappointed.)
Deep knowledge of the previous films is not necessary to enjoy “Godzilla vs. Kong,” since some confusion is inevitable; even film fans who know the wild history of secret government agency Monarch might find themselves at a loss. Still, the build-up to this showdown is certainly more pleasurable if you’ve watched three films’ worth of character evolution. We’re talking about Titan character evolution, the one element nailed by each film in the franchise. All MonsterVerse movies have been forced to thread a strange needle: How much do audiences want to see classic monsters bonding with regular humans? Moreover, how much does the audience want to see of said humans?
Wingard’s film does well with that ask, particularly when it comes to building Kong’s coterie, including adorable Jia (whose sign-language skills come in handy), staid Ilene, and even the cagey Nathan. Godzilla’s team isn’t as fleshed out, but franchise fans already know Madison and they’ll likely enjoy her comedic-leaning compatriots, including Brian Tyree Henry as a podcaster who infiltrated Apex and Julian Dennison as her dorky best pal.
In the end, though, it’s all about the battles, and Wingard’s film offers some of the franchise’s best. That ocean-set face-off is a master class incoherent CGI extravaganzas that a) take place at dusk and b) often underwater. The action-packed final act is crammed with plenty of fan catnip — what is a Godzilla film without a nighttime battle set in a neon-colored city? — that maintains momentum and furthers the story with every big-pawed swipe. The tantalizing final frames hint at more to come, but “Godzilla vs. Kong” does something rare: It offers a satisfying story that can stand alone, even when its monstrous heroes demand more exploration.
