Critics Consensus

Come to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for the sheer monster-mashing spectacle -- and stay for that too, because the movie doesn't have much else to offer.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The script, there is a plot but it's preposterous tosh and it makes no sense, and it doesn't even try to make sense... Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. ROAR.

While Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire did on occasion test my patience, the overall ride does remain a fun one, and because of that, I’m still willing to remain seated on the Monsterverse’s bandwagon — for now.

Rated: 2.5/4

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This is great fun. A big, dumb movie that tries to explain with scientific language how we get to a place called "Hollow Earth."

I think this is probably the correct direction for the Monsterverse and American Godzilla movies to go. Which is that this is very stupid, and it knows it is, and it rolls with it.

The New Empire is visually stunning and ultimately an epic on-screen Kaiju team-up with visuals worthy of IMAX screens. However, the story and dialogue are incredibly corny, presents forced exposition and you can't wait to skip all the human interactions.

Rated: 2/5

Discussing Film

Here we have a kaiju film that is so confident and unashamed of its ambitions that even the fans who don’t prefer this style can at least say, “It’s not for me, but I can respect it.”

Rated: 3.5/5

The human characters are a little more entertaining (not more interesting), but GxK continues to deliver the goods with fantastic Kaiju action and, believe it or not, a truly compelling lead performance from the King, that is KONG!

EXCELLENT! Mmom and I are huge GODZILLA and King Kong fans. I am team GODZILLA and my mom is Mothra and Kong and GODZILLA. lol GODZILLA IS MY BESTIE. Loved the action and kept out the humans. Although I do like a good story line but if it is Just stuck on the characters than the Titans then my mom and I would have lost interest in the story. But you didn't disappoint and I am looking forward to seeing the story about my bestie, GODZILLA

This movie was a true return to the absolute insanity of the Showa Era, and I loved every second of it. Big monster fights, decent human story, and a great story for Kong finding his home while Godzilla of course proves over and over again why he is THE KING.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
