Once the battles begin, it’s multiple rounds of knock-down, drag-out fights highlighted with the explosive, computer-generated destruction of Hong Kong.
And, true fans of the Godzilla mythos are in for a real treat when a certain mechanized Titan shows up to the fight challenging both popular behemoths in a tag team royale.
As with all Japanese-style monster movies, the humans mainly become collateral damage as the main events unfold, but a few are certainly notable here.
They include young orphan Jia (Kaylee Hottle), who helps Kong as his interpreter; Madison (Millie Bobby Brown), the daughter of Monarch scientist Mark Russell, who seeks to find the root of Godzilla’s aggression; Hollow Earth researcher Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgård); and the cartoonish bad guy, APEX’s CEO Warren Simmons (Demian Bichir), who instructs his minions to exterminate all Titans.

Godzilla vs. Kong: Jia (Kaylee Hottle) is the little dear in the ape s headlights.
The definition of insanity is watching another sequel with “Kong” and/or “Godzilla” in its title and expecting different results.
Godzilla vs. Kong is a risk-free retread of Jurassic proportions. Kong still calls Skull Island his home, and is now living life under the electronic supervision of Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) and her deaf young daughter Jai (Kaylee Hottle), with whom the great ape communicates through sign language. When her parents died, Ilene promised to look after Jai and keep her safe from harm. She must have overlooked the codicil pertaining to constantly placing Jai’s life in peril due to the screenwriters’ inability to devise a more cogent plot-advancer than a kid signing with an ape. Then again, better the human touch of a child communicating with a skyscraper-topping simian than two unappealing CG monsters exchanging rock ’em-sock ’em haymakers MMA-style.
