‘Godzilla vs Kong’ is big, dumb, no-nonsense fun

/

Directed by Adam Wingard, “Godzilla vs. Kong” is the fourth film in Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse franchise. The film stars Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies), Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), Rebecca Hall (The Prestige, 2006), and Brian Tyree Henry (If Beale Street Could Talk; 2018). Don’t worry about the characters they play, though, because at heart, the film feels like a 90s disaster blockbusters where spectacle trumps everything else.
