King Kong vs. Godzilla

King Kong vs. Godzilla

You can just picture the board meeting. “Okay fellas, we got one big freakin’ monster, now where do we go from there?” “I know boss, let’s add another big freakin’ monster and call it a day.” Cue the opening of sparkling wine bottles and a group hug. It’s almost as if people actually like being patronized by obvious attempts at squeezing money out of a dubious concept. The Japanese are normally pretty good at cheap, corny monster movies, but while this one features probably the two most iconic giant beasts out there dukin’ it out, neither oversized gorilla nor mutant dinosaur manage to raise the bar above the level of distinctly average.
