It’s a battle between the audience and the critics now. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire repeats the history in a way that’s very familiar to Zack Snyder’s DCEU. The new MonsterVerse movie hit the theaters on 29th March 2024 and audiences are already in love with it. The cinematic work of Adam Wingard in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is winning the hearts of all the monsterverse lovers from around the world.
The movie was a highly anticipated one after its first part was released in 2021. Fans had their fingers crossed about the quality of the movie and to their delight, the crew didn’t disappoint them. However, it seems like the critics are not quite impressed by the movie’s content. To them, there is still some scope for improvement.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Rotten Tomatoes Score Resembles That of Zack Snyder’s DCEU
Directed by Adam Wingard and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the 5th MonsterVerse movie featuring the two most powerful beasts in the movie world, Godzilla and King Kong. With a budget of 135 million USD, the movie made 10 million USD (via Deadline) from the Thursday previews which became the best-ever total for a monsterverse movie.
The movie is about both Godzilla and King Kong facing a colossal threat that directly challenges their existence as well as the survival chances of the entire mankind. With its storyline and action scenes, the movie has already become quite popular among the audiences.
In fact, the movie debuted with a 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, critics didn’t like the movie much and that’s why from 128 critic reviews, the movie only got 54% on the Tomatometer.
The difference between the critics’ score and the audience score gives flashbacks of Zack Snyder’s DCEU. For example, Zack Snyder’s Justice League got a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but there were some critics’ reviews that disagreed.
