Godzilla vs Kong
It’s “Pacific Rim” meets “Journey to the Center of the Earth” as the 2017 “Kong: Skull Island” & the 2019 “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” set up this big main event bout that could be billed as the Clash of the Titans. Fans of these 2 classic movie monster giants will be laying bets on their favorite to come out on top. Has the stereotyped crowd favorite heroic protector of the Earth, Godzilla, finally gone berserk & turned rogue against mankind? Will Kong’s human-like qualities gain him enough underdog support to knockout the perennial champion? It’s all about amazing action sequences & not so much about the silly storyline. Two trio teams take separate paths enduring extreme dangers & end up at the same place to witness the final round. No need to name the token actors casted here because audiences who will tune in only care about the gigantic lizard & ape anyway. Come see for yourself who wins & who loses, who is good & who is evil, and whether there is any hint of a follow up film. Fans of this monster genre type will probably love this updated supercharged version of their childhood guilty pleasures.
Alien gives it 3 “Hollow Earth” stars out of 4.
