When two crazy families get stuck inside an apartment for a night, a missing dagger and a fire scare are the least of the problems. Netflix’s new Egyptian family drama Face to Face can be criticized for a lot of things, but not for a lack of entertainment value. The tension between the in-laws over the divorce settlement of their kids is an engaging watch you wouldn’t want to miss.

In “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the gorilla has a new adversary: Skar King, the cunning, lanky, red-haired orangutan-like creature, who lords over the subterranean realm of Hollow Earth like a sadistic bully to keep his ape minions in line. With Shimo, the ancient ice Titan, whom he controls as his slave, Skar King is so formidable that it takes the two titular Titans to stop him from achieving world domination.
In creating the best villain yet in the five-film MonsterVerse franchise, director Adam Wingard relied on Wētā FX — the king of ape films, with “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” right around the corner — to animate Skar King. They overhauled the design concept to ensure his biomechanics worked in line with the desired motion and also roughed him up, complete with a cat-eye reflection in one of his eyes.

The concept of monsters battling each other has been a central theme since the inception of the Godzilla franchise with the release of the very first Godzilla film in the 1950s. This idea of colossal creatures engaged in epic battles to the death continues to be popular, almost 70 years after its birth. The latest film bearing the Godzilla name is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and it featured a very unique take on Godzilla – the kaiju was pink. Not only that, but some fans have deducted the nationality of every major titan in the film.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire made a giant splash as it hit theaters. Much to the surprise of MonsterVerse fans, the director of the film, Adam Wingard, brought back a seemingly dead character for the finale.
Mothra, like Godzilla, is a kaiju and the only one with any kind of sway over the latter. Therefore, her return in the finale was important, even if it was unanticipated. Moreover, her return highlighted her importance in the MonsterVerse, as stated by the director.

Making a strong antagonist in monster features is always a tough task, especially when human association isn’t involved. Aside from the risk of writing becoming pretty generic and turning the characters into one-toned, motiveless evils, connecting with the audience remains a challenge. In Legendary’s Monsterverse, aside from the iconic King Ghidorah, no other adversary had managed to make that much of an impact in viewers’ minds, which is why Godzilla X Kong needed a well-written opponent to justify the team-up of the eponymous behemoths.

Iconic characters survive the brunt of time and stay relevant through generations by adapting to new themes and varying treatments—an aspect that is clearly noticeable when we take a look at the seventy-year journey of Godzilla in the pop culture landscape. In a journey that mimics that of another pop culture legend, Batman’s transformation in comics itself, Toho’s Godzilla movies have ranged from originating in grim-dark disaster horror-themed spectacles to pure campy monster battles intended for the amusement of the younger section of the audience to metaphorical sci-fi allegories. Such a variety of treatment has not only made character timeless but has also paved the way for the global popularity of the iconic Kaiju. Which is why we can have a Godzilla movie set as a post-World War II human drama and, within a few months, have another one radically differing in tone as a monster bash-em-up movie,...

You have "King of the Monsters," which is the 1956 localized title of the original "Godzilla" film. You have a "vs." title inspired by many of the Showa era "Godzilla" movies with "Godzilla vs. Kong," and of course, the first movie is simply known as "Godzilla."
Then there's "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," the new '80s buddy-cop-inspired MonsterVerse film. The "x" in the title is a weird choice, one that is open to various different interpretations.

The MonsterVerse is getting a massive upgrade with "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" — and not only because director Adam Wingard is introducing a crop of brand-new villains to the fray. The eponymous Titans are also getting a few enhancements of their own: Godzilla is somehow pink now, while Kong sports a bright-yellow mechanical arm. As Dr. Ilene Andrews says in the film's latest trailer, some "minor augmentations" are pretty much par the course at this stage of the franchise. Godzilla and Kong might have put their primordial beef to rest, but that's only because they've got to deal with the new threat that is the Skar King. For all their individual power, that's one gnarly kaiju, and they definitely can't defeat him alone.

After a stellar TV run with "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," which finally gave us a good human story within the "Godzilla" mythos, and an unprecedented Oscar victory for "Godzilla Minus One," Godzilla has returned to the big screen with another team-up between Godzilla and King Kong.
Part of what makes "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" interesting and unique among the MonsterVerse movies is its team-up of villains, Shimo and Skar King. They essentially serve as reflections of Godzilla and Kong, the former being a lizard-like kaiju with an energy beam, and the latter being a giant ape.
Though Shimo is barely even a character, Skar King is a fantastic addition to the MonsterVerse — a violent and evil despot like Koba in "Planet of the Apes," with a badass kaiju spine he uses as a chain-weapon and as a way to control Shimo.

The fifth and latest entry in the Warner Bros. MonsterVerse franchise has the misfortune of arriving on the heels of the Oscar-crowned Godzilla Minus One. That Japanese film demonstrated that it’s still possible to make a monster movie involving the iconic, irradiated giant lizard that also features a compelling narrative and memorable characters. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, on the other hand, mainly traffics in the sort of CGI-generated mayhem resembling a video game that will please the series’ fans but doesn’t bring anything new to attract non-diehards. At one point in the film, Godzilla, weary from all that stomping around, lies down to take a well-deserved nap in the middle of Rome’s Colosseum. It’s the most relatable moment in the film.

Thundercats is a property that might seem obscure to a lot of people today, given that it only had a short-lived revival in 2011 before the show was turned into something like Teen Titans Go in the form of Thundercats Roar. However, for those who remember the original 80’s animated series, or even its 2011 revival, Thundercats holds a special place in their heart. And now, it seems a Thundercats live-action film might finally see the light of day.

When Godzilla vs. Kong premiered in 2021, it was long removed from the more suspense-filled, grounded, gritty Godzilla of 2014. After Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the series has fully leaned into the sci-fi cheese and carnage that we dreamt of as kids, complete with spaceships that travel to the center of the Earth. Now that Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire has premiered, the important question is: is it entertaining? While not high art (though the recent Japanese Godzilla films have become more prestigious), audiences sitting down to watch a movie where Kong rides Godzilla while wielding an axe still want it to measure up to a good ol’ time. So, how is it fairing in the early reactions?

It is a good time to be a Godzilla fan. From the surprisingly great Apple TV+ show "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" giving us a fantastic dose of Kurt Russell, to "Godzilla Minus One" not only becoming the first film in the franchise (and the first tokusatsu movie) to be nominated for an Oscar, but also delivering one of the best movies of 2023.
There are also the MonsterVerse movies, which have had their ups and downs. Still, there's no denying the sheer thrills and spectacle "Godzilla vs. Kong" delivered, and there's no denying how exciting the look of King Kong with a mecha gauntlet is in the upcoming "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire."
That film promises to change the hierarchy of power in the MonsterVerse, with footage showing the utter destruction of the Great Pyramids, the introduction of a whole planet of giant apes that apparently have long protected humanity...

Legendary’s Monsterverse returns to the big screen on March 29 with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and a brand new 3-minute official trailer has arrived today.
This new trailer is loaded with new footage from the upcoming Kaiju combat movie, which this time around brings Godzilla and King Kong together to fight a common enemy.
What monster could be such a threat to both nature and man that it brings Godzilla and Kong together? That’d be Skar King, a brand new villain for a brand new era.
Godzilla x Kong‘s Official Trailer 2 also gives us our first sneak peek at Shimo, the secondary antagonist that the two Kaiju Kings will have to battle. While Skar King is essentially an evil version of King Kong, Shimo looks to be an evil version of Godzilla. Talk about a Royal Rumble!

The American MonsterVerse has its issues, like underwhelming human stories — especially compared to the Japanese "Godzilla" movies — but it does deliver on the big-budget kaiju action and worldbuilding. These movies present the kind of awesome destruction that can only be achieved by spending hundreds of millions of dollars, and it rules. Meanwhile, where most of the Japanese "Godzilla" movies are only loosely connected, the MonsterVerse has created a proper continuity of kaiju mayhem.
The MonsterVerse is full of strange creatures and locations connected through the outlandish concept of the Hollow Earth (a thing that raises twice as many questions as it even begins to answer). Sure, Godzilla and Kong are the stars, but there are so many other kaiju and critters that have got their time to shine, whether it's Japanese icons like Mothra and Ghidora, or new kaiju like Titanus Doug. It's the latter kaiju that has enjoyed the...
