Godzilla Vs Kong is gleefully OTT monster melée that really delivers
Review

★★★★☆
GIANT gorilla King Kong and lizard-on-steroids Godzilla are back for another epic amphibian versus primate bonanza.
But nearly 60 years on from when they squared up for their first B-movie fray (1962’s King Kong Vs Godzilla), our combatting creatures now have an A-list budget.

The result is a gleefully OTT monster melée that really delivers.
The fourth film in the MonsterVerse series (and a sequel to both 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and 2019’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters), we meet Kong in downtime mode enjoying a relaxing waterfall shower.

Once more unto the breach in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’
The Coke and Pepsi of the MonsterVerse doesn’t break any new ground, but does supply appropriately silly sci-fi escapades and a few good rounds of monster mayhem

Godzilla vs Kong begins, fittingly, with the big guy asleep.
There is King Kong, colossus of the big screen, slowly waking on a mountainside. He rouses slowly in the morning sun from slumber before showering in a nearby waterfall. It’s, maybe, a little bit the same for the kind of movies King Kong symbolizes and still holds some dominion over: big spectacles of mass destruction made to be seen on equally towering screens. That kind of moviegoing has been been in hibernation for much of the past pandemic year.
