Summary
Reviewers say 'Godzilla vs. Kong' is celebrated for its stunning visual effects and exhilarating monster battles, offering a feast of action and CGI. Conversely, it is faulted for its flimsy plot, shallow human characters, and incoherent narrative. Many find the story secondary to the combat scenes, resulting in a fragmented and implausible storyline. Despite these drawbacks, the film is deemed enjoyable for audiences craving action and visual grandeur, though it disappoints those hoping for a more compelling plot and richer character arcs.
Featured reviews
This is a mindless, plotless action flick with great action and effects but not much else. The plot is mundane, ridiculous and predictable. Much of it didn't even make any sense, because nothing is adequately explained. The acting is mostly awful. The editing made it difficult to follow what little plot there was. Actually the whole series of movies in this rebirth have all been really bad and this just continues that tradition. I am at a complete loss to explain the high ratings some people have given it and cannot recommend it all. Seriously don't bother with this.
I love Godzilla, I love Kong. Face to face they fight like there is no tomorrow for one of them. The battle is very entertaining and breathtaking. Visual are the best of all other monster verse by WB.
The weakness is in the plot and story telling. They should paid a bit more attention on the story and human characters to make them at least interesting.
Battle is 10/10 Story and plot 4/10.

Rating basically for the epic battles in this movie, great special effects that blend perfectly with the environment accompanied by immersive sounds to rumble your speakers. Kudos to all those responsible for that. On the other hand, this movie does a poor job of character personalization and story plot. Had a lot of fake smiles and poor dialogues, did a poor job of making you feel for any character's situation and wanting more from them, it's like the movie pauses when scenes switch from the Kaijus to humans. Characters were introduced for no particular purpose or reason. Story was dull and uninspiring. Wouldn't recommend this movie for the plot or character performances but will recommend it for the epic Kaiju battles and CGI.
I liked the action but once again, The story and characters were unbelievably bland.
My wife and I watched it at home on BluRay from our public library. This appears to be a highly updated remake of the 1963 "King Kong vs Godzilla" which itself was a Japanese movie edited for American audiences. This current one uses updated themes, like use satellite signals and a virtual reality device to control the Mechagodzilla.
It has lots of deep bass, lots of well done computer graphics, and a somewhat entertaining story that requires Kong to be brought out of his protected habitat on Skull Island to battle Godzilla who seems to want to destroy Hong Kong.
Mildly entertaining especially for those who enjoy action overload.

- TriviaWhen asked about the apparent height difference between Godzilla and Kong in 2018, Adam Wingard said "They gave us a good out in Kong: Skull Island (2017) when they mentioned that Kong is still growing, but that'll be a challenge we have to deal with, and we're very aware of that issue."
