With the release of 'Godzilla x Kong: New Empire,' a ranking of the 13 Kong movies from worst to best is presented. The list includes animated and live-action films, with the 2005 remake of King Kong topping the list, followed by the original 1933 film and the 1976 remake. The latest entry, 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,' is ranked ninth, while 'Godzilla vs. Kong' from 2021 is placed seventh. The ranking provides a brief overview and critique of each film, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
The latest MonsterVerse movie, Godzilla X Kong, is set to outperform its predecessor, Godzilla Vs. Kong, at the box office, with an estimated opening weekend of $67 million. This makes it the second-best MonsterVerse opening to date, trailing only behind the 2014 Godzilla film. The film's success indicates that audiences are enjoying seeing the iconic monsters as friends rather than foes, surpassing expectations and potentially closing in on the year's highest-earning film, Dune: Part Two.
"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" delivers the same old monster mayhem with impressive visuals and new characters, but ultimately feels uninspired and repetitive, making it a forgettable addition to the MonsterVerse franchise. The film follows Godzilla and Kong as they navigate their respective domains, with humans getting involved in the conflict. While it's a classic popcorn movie with modern technology, the overall impact feels mediocre.
