From my FB review...
Movie Review: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (2024). This sequel to 2021's Godzilla vs Kong more or less picks up right where the earlier film left off. Overall, this was much better than I expected (though my expectations were admittedly low). While the movie isn't deep by any means, it moves along at a brisk pace and is generally engaging throughout. I give extra credit for the decent amount of personality given to Kong and kin (and they also carry much of the movie). The only real negatives are the somewhat rushed ending and Godzilla mostly regulated to a supporting role. Better half guessed the extra guest star. I'm so proud. Worth a rental at the very least.
