Netizens call Godzilla X Kong a 'titan-sized win'

X is filled with exciting reviews from the audience who are just busy lauding the director and the crew for the movie. The New Empire is the fifth feature in the MonsterVerse franchise and follows Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021). On seeing the new sequel, a user wrote, "#GodzillaxKongTheNewEmpire was nothing short of fun and entertaining. They set up the #GodzillaXKong team up perfectly. Awesome elements and special effects and some moments felt very much like Planet of the Apes (you’ll know when you see it)."

Another user called the film "Titan-sized Win" and shared that while Godzilla is given his moments, Kong & Suko stole the show. He added that the film has its flaws but can be ignored as it is "fun". "#GodzillaXKong IS A TITAN-SIZED WIN!! Full of vibrant colourful visuals, SEVERAL action-fueled sequences, but most importantly, a ton of heart. While Godzilla is given his moments, Kong & Suko stole the show. It’s not without its flaws, but when a movie is this fun, who cares!" read the review.

Some users also gave a spoiler by mentioning Mothra, which was last seen in a 2019 franchise movie. A user, who seemed quite excited by her appearance, shared, "Mothra.I am going to embrace every second that she’s on screen. Can’t believe we last saw her back in 2019. SHE. IS. BACK BABY." For the unversed, Mothra is one of Toho's most popular monsters and second only to Godzilla.  She is a largely heroic character, having been portrayed as a protector of her own island culture, the Earth and Japan. She was last seen in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

A user hinted that Godzilla X Kong is worth watching twice as it was "so much crazy monster action fun". A user added, " I need to see it again lmao also no credit scene at all but it didn't really need one. Best Monsterverse movie in my book."
