   It's dumb and it surely is aware of that, but those action sequences had me dizzy with how much the camera moved 3 weeks 1 day ago

   At least it was better than Godzilla: King of Monsters. 4 weeks ago

   Director Adam Wingard promised that Godzilla × Kong: The New Empire was a monster movie from the perspective of the monsters rather than the humans (who are rarely the most interesting thing in these films, especially the American ones), but there's still an awful lot of people involved. Whether they are sidelined or not (and that's debatable), and generally relegated to types (you're either an exposition machine or comic relief; at least Rebecca Hall is a strong emotional actress who can give her scenes some weight), Kong gets a lot to do on the trail of other titanic apes. In Hollow Earth, where much of this takes place, we lose the sense of scale and it just feels like a Planet of the Apes film, which isn't a bad thing to be. But guys, I can't stand the character we're calling Baby Kong. I might even hate him more than Minilla (so the best use for him is to be swung like a weapon). Wingard has also figured out that big dumb giant monster movies should be big and dumb and fun, and in that respect, Gokuzilla x Robot-Arm Kong delivers. Lots of destruction, lots of monster fights, Dan Stevens as a crazy surfer veterinarian to the Titans, giant wrestling moves, and at least one old favorite showing up. I'm calling it, the next one takes us to space (and I'm not just going on the Planet X Easter Egg). 2 weeks 6 days ago
