Godzilla vs. Kong Ratings & Reviews
- Zoe EdwardsFebruary 13, 2025Amazing
- ርልዪረMarch 6, 2025Before I begin, let me clarify something: I'm not a hardcore Monsterverse fan. I never really grew up with the older films. However, I absolutely LOVED King Kong and Godzilla (mainly Kong) since the second grade. King Kong vs Godzilla was probably the only movies of the older films I watched. I loved the 2014 Godzilla movie (yes, it did focus more on the humans than the actual monsters, which I can see why it wasn't every Monsterverse fan's favorite, but as someone who pays close attention to story building, they did a good job on the human part). I still have yet to watch Kong and Godzilla KOTM wasn't my favorite (though it was fun seeing Coach Taylor in it...if you know who that character is, you're amazing). But Godzilla vs Kong was phenomenal. Sure it has it's flaws here and there, but overall, it's a very solid movie. The fight scenes between the two Titans were very well done. The first fight in the sea was very well done, with the camera work making the fight even more intense (the 360 they pulled with the plane crashing into Godzilla and following it until it crashed into the water and the camera continuing to flip just in time to see Kong punch Godzilla was genius). When Kong is underwater, again, the camera work is beautiful. They make it to where you need to feel like holding your breath. The second fight is very energetic. The thing that makes it even more better is the fact that Kong loses again. Usually the formula for fight films like these is "lose first fight, learn lesson, win final fight." Not here. Though sad as we connect to Kong (or at least I did), it was a very good idea to have him lose twice. The final fight with Mechagodzilla...best fight in the film. I like that Godzilla and Kong aren't buddy buddy with each other when they fight Mecha. It's a "put your differences aside" fight. And the scene of Kong just ripping Mecha's head out and roaring with the music going nuts is probably one of the most energetic scenes I've ever seen. Wish I could experience it in theaters with a bunch of other people. The cinematography is amazing. Beautifully done. The human storylines in the film were better than expected. The reason I didn't like Godzilla KOTM was because of that. Sure, the monster fight scenes in that film were amazing, don't get me wrong, but it was the lack of time that was put in the humans. You can have barely any humans in the film but make it good. This film does a pretty good job handling that. They don't make it Godzilla vs Kong But Mainly Humans, they make it Godzilla vs Kong. The three main humans with Kong are by far the best ones. However, the other characters involving Millie Bobby Brown were not the best. Good actors but unnecessary plot line. Could've been better but it is what it is. The music is sooooo good. Tom Holkenborg (otherwise known as Junkie XL) truly brings the adrenaline and feels to the film. The slamming drums really give the "monster fight" feel. As someone who's listened to him since Man Of Steel (as he helped with that film), it was very satisfying to hear him make another film truly epic. While the film is pretty short for a film like this, that's what I like about it. It doesn't go on and on and on just to be a long movie. Sure, longer movies like Avengers Endgame And Zack Snyder's Justice League are necessary as they need to explain and have a lot more time for fights and character building and story arcs, but this film got right to the point and did it exceptionally well.
- Mr. DJune 19, 2025Reminiscent of my early years when I ran the streets. A true alpha, with chicks on both arms tearing the city up every night, uncontested. They never had a chance.
- Ken KaniffAugust 21, 2025It was entertaining but a bit over the top. I think this movie was when they started to lose grip on the series.
- StairwaytothestarsNovember 4, 2025Instead of the great Godzilla and mighty Kong fighting each other, I want to see them both get rid of everyone who needs to go! It could be the next dynamic duo that roams the Earth for justice, and they could start first by cleaning up the Trump administration! GODZILLA vs. KONG has a great ending with a song that just killed me, and I am still smiling. Sometimes the littlest things in life are the biggest things.
- bogometerMay 22, 2025Godzilla has come a long way from the rubber rampage suit. Kong meets his match but they work it out. Good watch when you don’t feel like intellectual weight lifting.
- Terry PhanNovember 4, 2025The humans are at it again! Anyways other than that I really liked this movie and the fight scenes between Godzilla and King Kong which makes me forget all about the humans and the writing and plot plus how Godzilla still manages to dominate as King is perfection.
- Nathan MagretaNovember 4, 2025Godzilla vs Kong is a more clever sequel in the Godzilla series, and with it's improved human dynamics and typical beast vs beast format, it ends up being a really good film, despite a franchise-low villain of Mechagodzilla.
- PapaHamzehMarch 6, 2025They toy with us on these movies, I know they do. I simply wish at this point they would just make a movie where all the monsters killed everyone on earth so at least I could enjoy 90 minutes of monsters fighting and not fumbled scripts and hot stars grabbing their slice of the pie.
- zheinmuadhibApril 30, 2025This is my third attempt at watching the whole movie without falling asleep and man I failed. It’s just a boring story. The production and visuals are great but the plot is just lack any urgency. They really deliver at the beginning where Godzilla fought Kong and it went on 2 other times, the fights were nicely choreographed but the whole mecha Godzilla and the driving force of the plot was overused and lack of any real stakes to make me care any of the characters. They decided to make Kong the main hero despite the movie was set up from a Godzilla film and it feels detached. Godzilla just swimming around looking for Apex and we followed through Kongs home world and how he could be the one saving the day. They made Kong too human like, to relatable, they even made him the underdog throughout the fights, he even has a weapon! All I want to see is two beasts fight each other, without any logic and reason. They tried to justify everything, where the Titans come from, their motivation and the time used for that made them forget about what would happened if these two really fight without an end. This wasn’t enjoyable, I fell asleep again and the technology used was really distracting from the rawness of such fights.
- Hipster ZOMBIEFebruary 1, 2025The biggest fight of the century delivers with some of the most brutal monster action seen yet in the MonsterVerse. Godzilla and Kong both get their time to shine but in the end the film does give the fans a definitive winner. Highly recommended!
