In this Godzilla x Kong review or Godzilla x Kong analysis, we discuss why the new Monsterverse entry is an absolute blast! Godzilla x Kong is actually great!
While Godzilla Minus One made waves in how it took the series back to its roots, becoming the highest-grossing Japanese film in North America and nabbing a Best VFX Oscar to boot, the recent success and outpour of love for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire shows that combination of Minus One, Monarch, and the increasing popularity of the Monsterverse means that Godzilla has finally been embraced in its totality in the West. What was once misunderstood Kaiju film series primarily targeted towards younger audiences, has finally clicked with mainstream audiences in a way past Godzilla films haven't.
Godzilla x Kong proves this by being a psychedelic throwback to the absurdity of the Showa Era. Director Adam Wingard channels his childhood influences to create a film that feels nostalgic, but doesn't harp on nostalgia instead using that feeling as a means to create new fans by doing something most legacy franchises seldom do: appeal to kids. GxK feels like an exception in the modern blockbuster landscape, the rare franchise film that doesn’t seem to be prioritizing its adult fans. Instead, it feels like a movie made for kids, and I mean that as a MASSIVE compliment. This is the kind of Godzilla movie I dreamed of as a 10-year-old boy, brimming with imaginative set-pieces, and vibrant sets and bizarre creations… the kind of stuff that would inspire a kid to go home and play with their toys. The film opens with a montage of Godzilla squaring off against a murders’ row of gnarly-looking creatures, and that momentum never falters. This is the kind of movie where Kong and Godzilla have a zero-gravity brawl with a sadistic red ape dictator and his mythical frost dragon at the center of the earth. Director Adam Wingard’s top priority was clearly to make sure every kid in the theater had the time of their life for 115 minutes, and at the end of the day, is there any purer distillation of Shōwa era Godzilla than that?
That's just the tip of the iceberg in this Godzilla video essay. In this Godzilla x Kong The New Empire movie review, Griffin (@griffschiller) explains why GxK proves Godzilla remains Cinema's MVP, why Godzilla nukes modern Hollywood, why Godzilla is the king of cinema, why Godzilla x Kong is perfect, why Godzilla x Kong is so good, why Godzilla is more popular than ever, and more in this Godzilla x Kong explained video. Enjoy this Godzilla x Kong ending explained Monsterverse analysis!

This guy definitely gets it. I remember watching godzilla final wars when I was like 9 and thinking "imagine if they made this on a Hollywood budget, that'd be amazing", and five years later the monsterverse started. Not only did it make my dream come true it expanded it, now I'm 24 and feeling like a little kid with a wild imagination with every new movie and show that comes out. It's truly an amazing time to be a kaiju fan.

GxK has so many deep levels that people overlook by calling it dumb fun. I loved your analysis of the movie and couldn't agree more. It adds to the Showa era without ever taking from it, it feels like such a natural addition to the franchise that doesn't harp on repeating the past.
@everettenjeze6276 Ай бұрын
So much heart and emotion. Kaiju are living just like humans. They feel pain, loneliness, and need for companionship and family. Seeing Kong go through all that made the film for me.

Me and my dad went to watch this movie with somewhat mixed expectations... that was some of the most fun I've ever had in a theater. I was smiling from ear to ear almost the entire movie! Even though I've always loved the more dark and serious MV style of Godzilla (2014) I think that there is so many unique strengths in each movie in the Monsterverse!
@FilmSpeak Ай бұрын
Exactly! I love that because, like you, I also prefer the 2014 Godzilla, but the more absurdist take on the character we've seen in the later Monsterverse entries is equally as enjoyable and fun, just in a different way. I think that's the beauty of Godzilla. It can be all of these things and we love it for that.
@TearfulFriend18 Ай бұрын
GxK is the most fun I’ve had in the theater since… well Godzilla: King of the Monsters. There’s plenty of great movie experiences, but nothing beats giant monsters duking it out on the IMAX screen with that glorious IMAX sound. MonsterVerse, Shin Godzilla, Polygon Trilogy, Singular Point, Minus One? All of them incredibly different from the other and yet all of them undeniably Godzilla. It’s shocking how versatile of a character the King of the Monsters can be. There’s never been a better time to be a Godzilla fan, and after 70 years that’s a hell to a thing to say.

Singular Point I tried watching but had to stop halfway through largely due to a lack of Godzilla and an overcomplicated storyline I wasn't able to follow, but from what clips I've seen, when Godzilla does show up, he leaves quite the impression! The Polygon Trilogy I did enjoy, though the first film is objectively better. I've always liked that film's take on Godzilla, and the fact that the being they killed wasn't the REAL Godzilla and the actual Godzilla was FREAKING HUGE made me feel genuine dread and worry for the characters. It's a shame the rest of the trilogy sucked.

The malleability and flexibility of Godzilla ought to collapse under itself and drag the character down with him, and yet the Big G manages to be both serious and artful and totally maximalist, bananas entertainment. Frankly, similarly iconic characters have attempted to be embody both opposite ends of the spectrum over the years to much LESS success or organic transition. Overall, great video! Especially with nailing how the film just captures that inner child's imagination and excitement. By the way, any chance you could do individual deep dives on prior Godzilla and King Kong films like Gareth Edwards' Goji or Peter Jackson's Kong?

You also highlighted the importance of feeding your inner child and reminding yourself it's okay just to have a blast at the movies, which is exactly what Peak Cinema is, a film that can take your mind off of the rest of the world from 90 minutes to 2 hours all the while you shove your face with popcorn, laugh, cry and cheer the whole way through, especially about a movie about a nuclear dinosaur teaming up with a gargantuan gorilla to fight other monsters, a Film that has so much heart and soul doing its own thing while showing its love and appreciation for the films that came before it. For this, I tip my hat off to you sir. Thank you!

It is still amazing but the protagonist is boring af and they have the audacity to cut some scenes when the monsters are going to fight in a monster movie.

The next movie should focus on Godzilla and flesh out his character. Besides taking joy out of combat the most we see of Godzilla being more than just a monster is when he’s a parent. So I think that’s relatable enough for audiences to connect with. Been a long time since we saw an offspring of Godzilla.

I felt like king ape deserved to be just as much respect as G-lizard would.

Hey man, your video deserve a good respect. And yes, The Monsterverse will continue as one of the best franchise in cinema. You gonna give credit to Dr Serizawa as well. He is the character who truly understands the coexistence both man and monsters in KOTM. to top it all, he is willing to sacrifice for Godzilla to fight against Ghidorah leading a unity both humanity and Godzilla in Boston. Another video made by Dangerville suspected GxK has stories both humans and monsters. A story where the Great Apes enslave by a tyrant Skar King, a bond between Kong & Suko and Dr Andrew’s with Jia and expandable lores and stories for the upcoming movie. What makes this movie special for me is that Kong and Skar King no need dialogue or lines. Just body language, facial expression and their action can easily understand their characters. This is why the Lion King remake failed and the Monsterverse success with their characters. W video.

The wordless "dialogue" scenes between the monsters were so effective, that when I try to remember the scenes now, I have wrong recollections of Scar King and the other apes talking to each other, and Suko and Kong talking shit to one another! With words!

The Monsterverse and Minus One just prove that Godzilla is without a doubt the most fluid character in film. One minute, he can be the lovable hero of a fun action movie and the next a nightmarish metaphor in an anti-war masterpiece and neither seem even slightly out of place. For the life of me, I can't recall any other single character that can do that

This was a great movie and it showcased quite possibly some of the best visual storytelling in film, and telling us that these monsters are more than just special effects, but actual living breathing characters.

Minus one is not just the best godzilla Film i have ever seen but the best movie over all that i have ever seen. But the monsterverse is still a blast and i love both versions. But well i love most of the godzilla movies 😅😂 I really like how ur one of the guys who understands that u can enjoy both and dont have to choose one and hate the other

I felt good at the end of the film. The emotional highs achieved here surpassed anything I've seen so far in the Monsterverse (although the 2014 film is still my overall favorite).

This is definitely one of the best reviews of GxK. Toxic Fans and Critics might call it awful, bad or mid (which it isn’t by any means), since they only watched Shin Godzilla and Minus One and think they know everything. But this review is definitely the best. GxK isn’t meant to be like Minus One, it is supposed to be whacky like the Showa era (Don’t get me wrong, the Monsterverse is definitely better than the Showa era), and we can love both different styles for what they are. 👍🏻👍🏻

He cooked hard with this one especially when he goes in depth on the film and explains to viewers how much heart and soul is in the movie. Really hit hard when he explains compassion kong has for those around him and how kong and Jia are mirrors of each other which is beautiful.

I went to the cinema to watch this with the Mrs, who begrudgingly watched two previous movies (after much convincing), Godzilla (2014) and King of The Monsters with me. She enjoyed them, but nowhere near the way i loved them, I've loved Godzilla since first discovering it as a kid on TV over 20 years ago. Anyway, after some convincing she agreed to come watch this in the cinema and she loved it! Purely based on how nuts and fun it was, to the point now where she wants to see Godzilla Minus One, after not even being slightly interested beforehand. Goes to show how successful Gman is becoming and its good to see it shit on so any of the big movies around nowadays.

Someone really needs to make a video about the unlikely rise of the MonsterVerse. How this series became possibly the second most successful shared universe behind the MCU which in itself is a major accomplishment. Considering many including the DCEU have failed to even sniff the MCU’s success.

On Japanese Twitter I’ve seen people basically write out what the monsters are “saying”. They’re calling them characters from a yakuza movie. It kind of shows how much personality the monsters have. I’m a huge fan of Minus One, as my profile pic shows, but GxK from what I can gather is like a good wrestling match; wrestling isn’t just action, there’s a hero and a villain, storylines, arcs. Even if it doesn’t make sense often. And I respect that.

I really don’t think you can compare Godzilla -1 and GxK new empire because they are totally different types of movies so I love when people just look at both of these and say “These are both great” because being a Godzilla fan right now is the best
