With 'Godzilla vs. Kong', the Monsterverse has finally arrived in the realm of complete nonsense. But given the premise, this is a perfectly valid approach. The film relies much more on humor than its predecessors, but it's still not funny. At least for me, the jokes just didn't work. The characters fall somewhere between bland and obnoxious. Millie Bobby Brown once again plays an annoying teenager, and Brian Tyree Henry takes on the role of a wacky conspiracy theorist. There are also numerous scientists and corrupt business people, none of whom leave a lasting impression. And I don't even want to get into the plot surrounding the "Hollow Earth" theory.
But at the end of the day, you're probably only watching the movie to see Kong and Godzilla tussle with each other and eventually get along. And that's exactly what you get here, with a lot of spectacle. If the monster action was accompanied by reasonably entertaining human characters, then these films could be good. But as it is, "Godzilla vs. Kong" is nothing more than dumb popcorn cinema. But at least the movie is still reasonably entertaining and, in my opinion, better than 'King of the Monsters'.
