In America, Godzilla is a superhero — in Japan, he’s still a monster
Quick Glance: Mixed reactions to Godzilla x Kong: New Empire
  • Initial responses to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire have arrived, praising an exhilarating, action-packed experience - however, the new Monster-verse film doesn't captivate everyone.

  • The storyline follows Godzilla and Kong reuniting to confront a fresh, perilous menace, with director Adam Wingard returning to helm the project once more.

  • Critics commend the grand scale, fast-paced sequences, and diverse range of creatures, though a few express concerns over the sparse dialogues and sluggish beginning.

  • Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is set to hit theaters on March 29, eliciting a mixed bag of reactions, with many lauding the thrilling action and monster clashes, while others scrutinize the plot and dialogue.
