As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans' origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.

	Author	Review
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"In the end, though, it’s all about the battles, and Wingard’s film offers some of the franchise’s best (...) It offers a satisfying story that can stand alone"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"If you’re ready to revisit movie theaters, this is the sort of wonderfully escapist spectacle they were made for (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
Australia	Anthony O'Connor FilmInk	"The result is a film that, while it does stick to the vs movie script a little too much, offers a fast-paced, occasionally baffling, always enjoyable."	POS
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"[It] mostly delivers on its promise of a big monster fighting another big monster. It just depends whether you’re willing to sit through the toe-curlingly bad set-up that surrounds it. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The battles lack the grace and dynamism that have made both Kong and Godzilla such beloved icons of cinema. You’ll get what you paid for, but not much else."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The good news is that even if the convoluted kaiju mythology tends to trip over itself in a plot that only barely makes sense, the Monsterverse face-off delivers plenty of visceral excitement."	POS
Australia	Luke Buckmaster Flicks	"'Godzilla vs. Kong' isn’t going to win Best Picture at the Oscars, but this sensory-smothering film (...) is not without its virtues. (...) What did catch me off-guard was how richly cinematic the film looks and how spatialized the action feels".	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Adam Wingard understands his call to duty; the maximus monster smackdown. And on that the movie more or less delivers"	NEU
United States	Zaki Hasan IGN	"'Godzilla vs. Kong' knows exactly what it wants to be, and invests every minute of its two hours living up to that promise (...) Let’s hope it’s not another half-century before these two crazy kids get together again"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"You’ll want to see this titan throwdown on the biggest screen possible (...) Considering the havoc a microscopic virus has wreaked on the past year, being caught between two 400-foot titans doesn’t seem so bad"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A gigantic action picture with plenty of spectacle but not much in the way of meaningful character interaction (...) The actors fight a losing battle against some impressive special effects to command our attention"	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"It might be the best studio film so far this year. If it isn't, it's for damn sure the most fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Los Angeles Times	"[It] is magnificent in its refusal to be relevant or serious or important in any way (...) It will disappoint the 14 people who come to “Godzilla vs. Kong” looking for an insightful disquisition on the human condition"	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"This movie knows you came to see monsters punch each other. And monsters punching each other you shall get."	POS
Hong Kong	James Marsh South China Morning Post	"There is lots of great action (...) 'Godzilla vs. Kong' emerges, not as a remake of the Toho classic, but as a heavyweight title bout between two legendary adversaries (...) both of whom wield considerable emotional clout with the audience."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"The movie isn't without its issues, but in terms of delivering on the carnage promised, you'd be hard-pressed to find a fan that won't be satisfied (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"Adam Wingard is smart enough to make Kong a relatable, sympathetic character (...) Wingard also wisely avoids covering up his monster action with heavy rain or confusing camera angles"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"My kids are big fans of the previous MonsterVerse movies, and they enjoyed this one too. 'Godzilla Vs. Kong' isn’t as poetic as 'Godzilla' or as character-rich as 'Skull Island', but it gets the job done"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Zilla and Kong face off in ginormous Hong Kong —a destruction junkie’s dream battlefield (...) See 'Godzilla vs. Kong' on the big screen if you can (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"The clash of these titans is spectacular in every sense of the word"	POS
