Godzilla vs Kong reviews

Collider's Steven Weintraub wrote that you might feel like you're missing out at home, saying "The Godzilla and Kong stuff is why you pay to see this movie on an IMAX screen."

On the more positive end of the spectrum, Brandon Davis  (of the Phase Zero podcast) tweeted "It’s like Fast & Furious but with giant monsters," which is the kind of thing that makes us wish we could see it right now. 

Of course, those who take their Kaiju seriously may agree with Forbes' Scott Mendelson, who called it "fine." Before comparing it to Joss Whedon's Justice League, he called Godzilla vs Kong "another 'retrofitted and pared-down for the masses' 'course correction.'"

Godzilla vs Kong trailer

This is where all the excitement started. The official Godzilla vs Kong trailer clip begins with footage of Godzilla attacking a city, and then we learn that Kong is being called in to save humanity, but he's been knocked out before he can get here.
