In Theatres: Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

 It was a once in a lifetime event many years ago, in "King Kong vs. Godzilla". Technology has changed with the times, and the two iconic monsters are now part of a shared universe at Legendary Pictures & Warner Bros..

"Godzilla vs. Kong", to reverse the billing for the "rematch", follows each individual icon's last screen adventure, and is set five years after Godzilla had last bested King Ghidorah, the three-headed monster. The themes in the movie shouldn't surprise anyone, either. A businessman sets Godzilla vs. King Kong, bent on replacing 'Zilla with a robot duplicate (old school fans know what I'm talking about). In effect, "Godzilla vs. Kong" actually remakes two Godzilla movies at the same time.

And for those of you who've been complaining about singer-actress Millie Bobby Brown, she does fine here. Then again, this is the first film I've seen her in, so I can't side with the consensus, anyway.

Check the trailer. It's in theatres & HBO Max.


This was a fun trip.

Rating: A.
