Lesser studios do the same thing over and over again but in Godzilla vs. Kong, each character is brilliantly reimagined and we even explore their personal history, which we love. The flick opens in Skull Island, not too far from Hawaii where loveable Kong is enjoying a stroll. Perhaps the most talented actor here is the little girl Jia, who conveys so much and says so little- whom Kong has "raised" since she became an orphan. Deaf people everywhere will embrace her too! We love that Pensacola, Florida is a highlight. Peachy's great-grandfather Patrick Deegan was stationed there in WW One.
Some great life lessons are taught throughout including the central theme concluded: Love Your Enemy, which is of course biblical. We hope this has a sequel.
The brilliant cinematography unwinds at an intelligent pace and there is never a dull moment. Epic is an overused word in today's vernacular but this is one case where it is applied accurately: Godzilla versus Kong is classic entertainment with graphics, sound, and overall presentation completely modernized for today. We lament we did not see it on the big screen here in Manhattan but perhaps it will make it back in theatres someday. In the meantime, make your home your personal theatre!
Are you ready to rumble?!?!!? We should say so.
