Godzilla vs. Kong Reactions
Brandon Davis: Comicbook.com
I watched #GodzillaVsKong on a big IMAX screen and it was AWESOME. The movie is a blast. It’s like Fast & Furious but with giant monsters.
It’s exactly what I wanted it to be. Giant fights and they’re just SO MUCH FUN to watch. It’s a big, ridiculous, awesome movie. pic.twitter.com/v6e9hpWqd0

#GodzillaVsKong spends a little more time with the human characters than I cared for but it never really tries too hard to take them or anything else too seriously. This is a good thing. It’s just a wild blowout with the Titans fighting. It’s great overall.

Erik Davis: Fandango
I'm not crazy about the previous GODZILLA movie (it's my least favorite of the four) – story is confusing & you can't really see the fights. Completely different here – dug the story & the fights are pretty awesome. Director Adam Wingard's "Midnight Movie" vibes are all over this pic.twitter.com/Ax4het5M0n

#GodzillavsKong is a visual spectacle featuring jaw-dropping fight scenes btwn the two iconic titans. Wingard’s directing style is on full display in a colorful & breathtaking fashion that also harkens back to the 80s style kaiju. Needless to say, this film is a blast! pic.twitter.com/j31lc55iVO

#GodzillavsKong is another solid MonsterVerse installment. While more time could have been used to explore this franchise’s deeper mythology, if you’re chiefly looking forward to seeing Godzilla and King Kong collide in a fight for the ages, you won’t be disappointed! pic.twitter.com/ajR7UW0Cre

As expected – and probably as it should be – the titan fights are the best parts of #GodzillaVsKong . Adam Wingard definitely has the eye to make the most of those moments! Still don't think they've nailed how to incorporate human characters, but the top-notch ensemble helps. pic.twitter.com/ttpmNJOElo

Mike Reyes: Cinemablend
This is pure high flying adventure with fun humans, a REALLY fun villain, and an absolutely blockbuster feel to every frame. I am DEFINITELY going to see this in the theater, as 3D/IMAX seem like they're only going to heighten the experience. Give us more Monster Verse movies!
— Mike Reyes (@MrControversy83) March 21, 2021
TL;DR – Godzilla vs. Kong is Fun, capitalized and all. We're getting closer to a balance between story and spectacle, and I'm optimistic of what the MonsterVerse future could bring. (Provided people actually flock to this one. And I hope they do!)

Sheraz Farooqi: Comic Book Debate
#GodzillaVsKong is fun, vibrant, action-packed, and energizing.
GvK lives up to the heavyweight match it advertised with amazing visual effects and action sequences. This movie is selling a spectacle, and that’s exactly what audiences will get.

Ben Pearson: /Film
Godzilla vs. Kong: Way better than Godzilla: King of the Monsters. All of the human stuff is still bad, but the big monster action in this one should satisfy the people who are interested in a movie like this.

John Nguyen: Nerd Reactor
#GodzillaVsKong is breathtaking, out of this world, and easily the best in the series! The heart of the story is Kong, and the human story complements the monsters' adventures, allowing them to shine. Just seeing the two iconic monsters battling each other is worth it alone. pic.twitter.com/cHEe1f579M

#GodzillaVsKong is the movie we've all been waiting for. Three rounds of these two titans going head to head.
It is an action-packed film that demands to be seen on the biggest scree. #TeamKong #TeamGodzilla @GodzillaVsKong https://t.co/1mrnwcpGMt
