"Godzilla x Kong: A Titan-ic Collab with Mindless, Glorious Spectacle"

"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" offers plenty of gigantic mayhem but falls short in its human characters and plot, resulting in a sequel that's Titan-ic in all the wrong ways. The film's focus on dense mythology and earnestness leaves the situations and dialogue feeling laughable, suggesting that the wisest move would have been to dispense with the people entirely and focus on the battles. While the special effects are impressive, the modern rendition of Kong and the plot's flaws detract from the overall experience, making it a film best suited for those extremely invested in the franchise.
