HBO Max is one of the new kids on the streaming block but it's already got a ton to offer, including all of HBO's prestige series, like Game of Thrones, The Sopranos and The Wire. Plus, the service has its own originals like American Pickle and The Flight Attendant. HBO Max costs $15 per month but right now, you can save 20% when you prepay six months.
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
