The world of Kaiju will soon be earning its newest addition in the form ofGodzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and this one seems to be much better than many fans’ expectations. While 2023’sGodzilla Minus Onemay have set the standards high for the Kaiju fans despite not being a MonsterVerse film itself, the soon-to-be-released movie might as well surpass those standards too.
This comes after the early screening reviews for the film were released by the viewers, which are nothing short of epically thrilling; enough to further hype all those MonsterVerse fans. Adding to this is the stunning fact that even though the film was made on a modest $135 million, its presumed success doesn’t seem to be holding back the same way as the creators did on the budget!
Meager Budgets Can Make Masterpieces Too, saysGodzilla x Kong
The newest addition to the MonsterVerse,The New Empireis already leaving fans stunned with its early screenings and the critical reviews that followed, despite still having over two days before finally hitting the big screens.
A sequel to2021’sGodzilla vs Kong, this movie is seemingly all set to surpass everyone’s expectations with early reviews that make it evident that it’s better than its predecessor.
For one, following the film’s early screenings on the 26th of March, 2024, screenwriter and senior film critic James Preston Poole took to his X handle (@JamesPPoole) to share his reviews on the masterpiece.
And his review callingThe New Empirea“heater”truly has fans getting all giddy to receive the masterpiece when it hits the theatres on the 29th of March, 2024.

GODZILLA x KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE is a heater. By far the strongest of the Monsterverse, the Kaiju action and characterization of our monsters takes center stage.

Fans’ Early Reviews ofGodzilla x KongAre Truly Legendary
While James Preston Poole’s early review ofThe New Empireis enough to delight and pump the fans already looking forward to encountering something truly epic with the movie, Christina Molina’s review further adds a cherry on the top.

The Monsterverse does not need fixing. Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire delivers on big action and monster fights. It’s not without problems, but this is a hell of a fun time at the movies.#GodzillaXKongpic.twitter.com/guY8wTndth

Godzilla X Kong is pure spectacle of the highest order.
Adam Wingard completely understood the assignment and knew EXACTLY what audiences wanted. The action, the colors, the score, it’s everything I wanted from a Monsterverse film.
See it on the biggest screen possible because…pic.twitter.com/25uq9ec6uC

#GodzillaxKongTheNewEmpirewas nothing short of fun and entertaining. They set up the#GodzillaXKongteam 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) 😉pic.twitter.com/EOCzOPgBjS

#GodzillaXKongIS A TITAN-SIZED WIN!! Full of vibrant colorful 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!pic.twitter.com/5rPv6PreBp
