‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Review: It’s Really ‘Monsters vs. Script’
Here is the most charitable reading I can muster for
Godzilla vs. Kong: The human characters in this movie make incredibly dumb choices, say only the most banal dialogue, and spew painfully unfunny comic relief because, from the very first
Godzilla in 1954, this franchise has always been about its jaundiced view of humanity and its inflated sense of self-importance. Godzilla and the rest of his monster brethren represent the planet’s revenge against its wasteful caretakers. At their best, the
Godzilla movies chronicle man’s folly; their misplaced belief in science and the way that science pales in comparison to nature’s true power.
