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.
