Godzilla vs. Kong was a hit with critics and fans and has been one of the most financially successful movies released during the pandemic era. I guess with more than a year spent dealing with a very real planet-wide disaster, the escapism of watching a giant gorilla sock a radioactive dinosaur in the kisser was too much to resist. The movie also nicely wrapped up its story. After a preliminary tussle, Godzilla and Kong threw down for real among the neon-soaked skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Both fighters acquitted themselves well, though the sheer might and power of Godzilla eventually triumphed over Kong. Big G’s victory was short-lived, however, with the pair almost immediately having to team up to take down Mechagodzilla, rounding out the movie with a grudging respect for each other.
