GODZILLA VS. KONG Review: The Two Legendary Kaiju Finally Come To Blows

Before any big title fight, there is anticipation in the air; crowds buzzing with excitement, gamblers rapidly placing bets as the odds shift back and forth, and analysts debating the merits and flaws of both combatants. It’s one of the joys of combat sports – the buildup. The hype. It’s a feeling that films don’t quite capture. Sure, there is intense excitement before a new blockbuster debuts but it doesn’t have the same gleeful banter between opposing fans, the heated debate over who will emerge as the winner, and the chest-thumping tribalism of rooting on a favorite fighter.

I’m staunchly looking forward to rectifying my previous monster moviegoing experience this May with Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters. The two official trailers that are online – second of which aired this week, are all but reaffirming this as a film not to miss, and I actually hope to make it out with friends by then.

The crowd at CCXP this year in Brazil got plenty of reason to stay hyped before anyone else with a tease signaling the newest official trailer now out for Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters. The weekend tease was already enough to pull us in and the footage we now have collects for us on that promise tenfold, featuring a grandshowcase of our titular sci-fi monster protag and the line-up of gigantic creatures whose presence have completely flipped the script on mankind’s place in the universe.

Gareth Edwards’ 2014 re-installment of Toho’s iconic monster franchise, Godzilla, got the ball rolling for a new franchise that once teetered into potential King Kong territory; The addition of Kong: Skull Island certainly helps and so hopefully that day will still come as it’s a matter of time before we eventually find out.

Legendary and Warner have teamed up to revive the classic monster universe. Starting with the 2014 release of Godzilla, it culminated with the phenomenal success of Kong: Skull Island earlier this year (which has grossed $565 million, globally) that a sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, starring Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, and Millie Bobby Brown, is currently in production.

A few years in the making, the film marks the latest foray for Legendary and Warner Bros. in an effort toward a cinematic universe that will include the March 10, 2017 release of Kong: Skull Island, and culminate in the release of Godzilla vs. Kong on May 29, 2020. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters opens March 22, 2019.
