I went to see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. I've enjoyed the last few films and needed to get out of the house for a bit; so off I went. I conned my oldest son into joining me with the offer of getting pizza at Jioio's (in Greensburg, PA) afterwards.
Let me start by saying that the pizza was amazing as it always is there. It was a bit of a wait to get in but well worth it. I know you're confused...What about the movie?
Well....it was just okay....at best. Essentially, this could have/should have been a King Kong movie. Godzilla and Shimo seem like add-ons to pull in extra viewers. They add nothing to the plot or film overall. There is a baby giant ape in the film. He/she is cute for about 5 minutes (also not needed in the movie). The acting was bland (except for Kaylee Hottle). The story was predictable. (It reminded me of one of the 1970s era Godzilla movies.) Sorry to say, but I fell asleep 3 times during the film. Did I mention how good the pizza was??!!
Any way, that's my take. Feel free to disagree. Until next time.
