The thing about monster, horror or Fast & Furious movies is that you don’t expect them to be great, you just don’t want them to be bad. A bad mixture for each of them depends on what thing isn’t added. Monster movies, like Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire need to have monsters smashing lots of things, numerous objects or scenery that illustrates their massive size and not have too many humans, or at least too many annoying humans. Using that criteria, and the guidance of our son, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire checks off all of those boxes and is the sort of film where middle school ages and non-critics will enjoy it.
