Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

"Bright, inventive, crowdpleasing fun."

"It's monsters fighting – and that’s it."

"Breezy, forgettable."

"Stay tuned for the next eye-popping and meaningless sequel."

"Makes up for its own deficiencies with oddball flourishes."

"At least Wingard has the humble intent of a filmmaker who wants to make something simple, coherent and fun."

"Big monsters get angry, yadda yadda yadda."

"Godzilla and Kong’s team-up is an inevitability, but the film takes its sweet time getting there."

""X” is also the symbol that should have been prodigiously used to cross out the script's many, many stupid ideas."

"I was left feeling the way Kong does at the beginning: tired and bored."

"Titanic in all the wrong ways."

"You know what you're going to get. And in this picture you get it. And get it. And get it."

"At one point. (Godzilla)... lies down to take a well-deserved nap... It's the most relatable moment in the film."

"Elaborate but empty... anxious to avoid any form of subtext that might be deemed controversial."

"(A) sequel of diminishing returns."

"Always silly but rarely fun."

"Feels drunk on its own CGI."

"Nothing new, but it's still a fun popcorn movie."

"Has very little road left to cruise, and it shows."
