Well, it’s here. Finally. After three previous films, each
one receiving rather mixed reviews and a continually declining box office, the
Legendary and Warner Bros. ‘Monsterverse’ culminates in Godzilla Vs. Kong.
Yes, that’s correct, the titanic duo come together once again in the monster
showdown that was well on its way into production when Godzilla: King of the
Monsters struggled at the box office. To its benefit, the long delays to
release postponed originally to “allegedly” distance itself from the relative
disappointment of the previous film and then a few more times due to the
pandemic, have allowed the film to breathe a bit and find its footing. Its
surprise success at the theaters, despite premiering day and date on HBOMax,
is an indicator of two things: a) that audiences were ready to see a film
truly made for the theatrical experience and b) enjoy a film more fine-tuned to
deliver on its promises.
