What happens when a laser-spewing, self-declared 'King of Monsters', angry lizard meets a chest-thumping, sign-language speaking, angry simian: Mayhem.
Godzilla vs Kong, the latest offering from WB's Monster-verse lives upto the hype. Set a few years after the events of Godzilla: King of Monsters, the movie begins with getting us up-to-date with what has happened to Kong since 'Kong: Skull Island'.
Right at the outset, we have Team Kong in one corner, led by Dr. Ilene Andrews' and Jia, the last of the natives from Skull Island after it is destroyed by Skull Crawlers. And, in the other corner, we have the Team Godzilla, led by Madison Russell (Millie Bobbie Brown reprising her role from the previous movie).
After Godzilla goes on a rampage in one of the Apex facilities, Walter Simmons, Apex CEO, recruits the help of Team Kong to try and use Kong to find Hollow Earth, home of the Titans. Meanwhile, Team Godzilla, believing that Godzilla would not go berserk on the humans for no reason, start investigating the destroyed Apex facility.
While the involvement of two different human agencies might have rendered the movie a bit boring, the writers spring enough surprises along each of the teams' humans' journey to keep us hooked on till the next fight/Titan sighting in the movie.
Quite frankly, this isn't a movie one watches to delve into the vast spectrum of human emotions or anything remotely approaching that (in fact, there are quite a few casualties during the Godzilla vs Kong slugfest).
This is a movie we watch to enjoy two of the oldest and most amazing monsters in popular culture go mano-a-mano against each other. And, the movie delivers on that aspect.
Probably, the only sad thing about this movie is that it will not be watched by enough people in theatres owing to the current pandemic. But, it is nevertheless worth a watch to forget the times that we live in for a while.
