Posted on by AMK Station

Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom got a theatrical screening, and that’s why reactions are pouring in on social media, with fans excited by the fact that the Titans are actually fighting each other in the new film.

If the previous MonsterVerse films had been criticized, it was in particular because their plots were too focused on human characters, with some preferring that the story mainly focus on the famous kaijus. And it seems that the next blockbuster in the franchise has decided to listen to fans on this subject.

The film Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom, which is none other than the fifth installment of the MonsterVerse directly following the film Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), was entitled to a preview at the TLC Chinese Theater located in Los Angeles yesterday evening.

The public present on site then shared their first feedback online, revealing that the feature film, which features two new titanic villains, is a kind of gargantuan battle royale that should delight fans of giant monsters.

It is therefore on Twitter that we can see several Internet users sharing their opinions after attending the preview of Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom. Feedback that seems generally positive, with the public particularly appreciating the fact that the two kaijus now occupy a central place in the story.

“#GodzillaXKong is [a film filled with] action and humor with Kaiju that monster movie fans love. Godzilla and Kong are at the center of this latest installment of Legendary’s evolution of the Monsterverse. Brian Tyree Henry & Dan Stevens are fun together. But this movie belongs to giant monsters.”

“GODZILLA X KONG is absurd and fun entertainment. A gathering of titans with immense scale and fast-paced adventure. This movie knows how to deliver pure fun on a grand scale. My advice, just buckle in and enjoy the ride.”

“#GodzillaXKong was more fun than I thought it would be. I was happy to see Kong being more respected. It was good to see more monsters and less annoying humans. The battles were cool but cheesy, and the science got a little too nerdy. It looked like Christopher Nolan & WWE made a monster movie.”

“#GodzillaXKong is an ATOMIC EXPLOSION! A fantastically strange and psychedelic journey through the Shōwa era with all the vibrance of an 80s album cover. This thing is an absurd farce – crimson monkeys, frost dragons, a delightfully absurd Dan Stevens. Another FUN installment in the Monsterverse!”

“#GodzillaXKong is a memorable spectacle that dazzles with its vibrant technicolor visuals. The epic battles between the titans are breathtaking and are accompanied by a story with a gargantuan heart. Plus there’s Dan Stevens flexing in a Hawaiian shirt for 2 hours.”
