Very much a case of a franchise jumping the shark.

Majority of the movie is silent in dialogue due to our secondary protagonist (Kaylee Hottle) being deaf IRL. I don’t have a problem with that since she was the highlight of the previous film, butt this time around… the human characters were second to the Kaiju in screentime. Kong finding his people and freeing them from a literal African dictator (stereotype) while Godzilla evolves because of Mothra’s call. Meanwhile, the humans trying to not get eaten alive in Hollow Earth.

Just a really weird movie that went full Marvel in presentation instead of focusing on the sci-fi from the previous entries.

First screened May 27, 2024 with special help.
