One of the great virtues of Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire was dispense with human characters as central pieces of the plot. This point had been particularly criticized in Godzilla Vs. kongfrom 2021, where at times the monsters were in a secondary place.
In the installment that was released this year, it was noted that Wingard and his scriptwriters took note of that complaint. Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire put the creatures at the center of the scene and provided a popcorn-filled spectacle like no other. And while it is true that the specialized critics were less favorable with this film compared to its predecessor, the public received it very well.
It is worth noting that Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire has 91% positive audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Furthermore, the proposal was a success at the box office, where it raised about 570 million dollars.
