The history! the hype! Ho-hum
Despite digital wizardry and a big-time cast, tale of gorilla and lizard with anger issues is a rerun

The spanking new big-budget blockbuster Godzilla Vs. Kong is not to be confused with its 1962 antecedent King Kong Vs. Godzilla, a product of Japan’s Toho Studios. The new film is a state-of-the-art monster movie, with elaborate special effects, a big international cast, and some very impressive actors navigating through the debris left by the titular titans. (Watch Rebecca Hall say the line “Kong bows to no one!” like a WWE announcer with Cambridge credentials.)
Godzilla and Kong,two legendary movie monsters, clash for the first time since 1962. These âalpha titansâ have been prophesied to battle to become the last titan standing in an epic beatdown. âGodzilla vs. Kongâ has awesome action, cool discoveries and a plotline involving humans thatâs far too convenient and unnecessary.
After Godzilla attacks an Apex Cybernetics lab, university professor Nathan Lind (Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd) is brought in because of his theories on âHollow Earthâ â an idea where titans get their power from a hidden layer of the planet. In order for Apex to gain energy from the Hollow Earth, a titan must be followed into it to find the source of power.
