Beth Webb (News Editor): Are people not sick to the gills of Godzilla at the moment? It feels like there are about 12 films and shows about that big, spiky guy currently in the works. Ben Travis (Deputy Online Editor): I would say we are living in a bounteous time of Godzilla. We have Godzilla Minus One here, which is this ’40s-set Japanese film. We have the series Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters. We have Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which is going to be great. Godzilla Vs. Kong is a masterpiece. It’s a five-star three-star film, not a two-star one like John said.
John Nugent (Reviews Editor): It’s a two-star film. Come on, let’s not kid ourselves.
Ben: There’s a point in that film, John, where King Kong is in the Hollow Earth. This is a world of monsters inside the Earth. He’s beefing with Godzilla. Godzilla blasts a hole through the crust of the Earth down to the monster world with his atomic breath. Then Kong and Godzilla are giving each other evils through this massive tunnel in the ground. It’s cinematic glory. I don’t see a problem here.
