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.
