It’s no mystery that we are Godzilla fans. With that said, the new Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was as disappointing as a kid getting empty boxes for Christmas. Hollywood is a dumpster fire. Toho made Godzilla Minus One for 10 million and put out one of the best movies of last year. Warner Bros spent 135 million to bring us a disorienting 1 hour and 55 minutes of nonstop CGI in an incoherent abomination of a film. The few attempts at bringing you in emotionally were severely overshadowed by the absurdity of the characters you are supposed to grow to like. Godzilla is not meant to be taken to seriously, but I can’t count the number of times my inner monologue said “seriously?” If there was any upside to it, a couple scenes are comical and my 5 year old said “It was great” at the end despite him saying, “this is long” midway through.
