Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Someone ought to inform the three credited for this story that it takes more than two special fx sequences to create a satisfying movie experience. “Godzilla vs. Kong” is chock full of illogical nonsense…
  • Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
    • Excerpt: Godzilla Vs. Kong is obviously not the most demanding film, but it isn’t without its wonderful touches. As pure spectacle goes, there’s a lot of detail, personality, and imagination to be found.
  • [New] | M Enois Duarte @ HighDefDigest.com
    • Excerpt: Littered with the sort of spectacular visuals and sensational thrills we’d expect from such a popcorn spectacle, Godzilla vs. Kong is a surprisingly satisfying installment to the franchise. Although thin on plot and characterization, the monster flick nonetheless works and delivers on the blockbuster spectacle promised, making it the enjoyable mindless escapism needed after a year of lockdowns and closed theaters.
  • James Jay Edwards @ The Big Smoke America
  • Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
    • Excerpt: The need to weave an emotional thread throughout the narrative somewhat undermines the blockbuster battles and reduces the anticipated fun.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: It’s when Kong meets Godzilla in the neon-lit streets of Hong Kong that this people-centric drama redeems itself into the movie you came to see.
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Everything a monster movie needs: Monsters, natch. Cute kids who Know Things. Nerdy-hot scientists. Spectacular sci-fi visions. Humor but no cheese. Warmth but no schmaltz. And a superb green message.
  • Lee Jutton @ Film Inquiry
    • Excerpt: It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for, and for the most part, it delivers on the promise of some good old-fashioned smash and grab entertainment. Yet while Godzilla vs. Kong is by far the best installment of this rebooted franchise, the MonsterVerse could still learn a few lessons from some of its Showa era forerunners: mainly, how to write human characters that we don’t resent every moment they’re on screen.
  • Dan Lybarger @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
    • Excerpt: There’s something to be said for a movie that lives up to its title.
  • Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: Despite being saddled with a plot that’s sometimes laughably absurd, this new movie manages to get things back on course, delivering on the promise of its title.
  • Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
    • Excerpt: I truly hated the first half of this movie, but the second is truly glorious.
  • Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies
    • Excerpt: Godzilla vs. Kong’ serves fun, total mayhem, and thrilling spectacle to watch.
  • Josh Taylor @ The Forgetful Film Critic
    • Excerpt: There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a movie that feels like a rollercoaster, which is what I want out of a Theme Park Movie. If I’m seeing that kind of movie, give me half-a-dozen or so gargantuan set pieces that roll seamlessly, one right into the next, with a few precious moments here and there to let me catch my breath. Godzilla vs. Kong doesn’t pass the test.
  • Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: The movie is what it is; a giant monster movie with excellent digital effects, and thrilling, well-choreographed combat.
