GODZILLA VS. KONG: 3 ½ STARS “There can’t be two alpha titans,” says Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), and yet, here we are with “Godzilla vs. Kong,” a mighty monster showdown now in theatres and Premium Video on Demand. The sequel to “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Kong: Skull Island,” dispenses a whole lot of plot rather quickly to make room for the main event, a cage match between the two titans. That’s not a spoiler; it’s an inevitability. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before the crash-bang-boom of the movie’s climax, the story begins with Nathan ...
