The Worst: Godzilla vs. Kong
The King of all Kaiju goes toe-to-toe with cinema’s most iconic ape. Godzilla vs. Kong should’ve been an easy hit, a big, dumb spectacle of lizard v. simian smackdowns. Instead… we just got something big and dumb. Taking the worst impulses of King of the Monsters’ silly human characters and throwing even more of them into the incoherent mix, not even the joyful moments of giant monster action could distract from one of the most boring and dumb-witted cast of characters we saw on the big screen this year, brute forcing their way to the forefront to make the worst possible decisions at every opportunity. Godzilla and Kong’s scrap might have settled with an amicable stalemate, but as moviegoers, we definitely lost.
