Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Thank goodness for the children.

[5/10 · 4 April 2021]

This is another movie where children save the day from evil and/or incompetent adults.

BASIC PLOT

• Kong is not happy in Kong biosphere.

• Incompetent human adults kidnap Kong to bring him to Antartica where there is an entrance to the center of the Earth.

• Kong's naval escort is intercepted by Godzilla. Godzilla and Kong have an epic battle. Godzilla wins round one.

• Kong is air lifted to Antarctica. He and humans fall through a wormhole to the center of the Earth.

• The center of the Earth is replete with light, oxygen, plants, trees, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and of course, dinosaurs.

• Kong is king in the center of the Earth. He even has a throne down there.

• Godzilla burns a hole down to the center of the Earth. Kong climbs up that hole from the center of the Earth, to the surface of the Earth.

• Kong and Godzilla have epic battle. Kong wins round two.

• Kong and Godzilla have another epic battle. Godzilla wins round three.

• Apparently King Kong is controlled by an eight year old deaf child. He virtually does whatever she says. (Thank goodness for the children.) She tells him, "Godzilla is not your enemy. He is your friend. By the way, he needs your help."

• Kong looks over to see Godzilla battling mechanical Godzilla created by evil human corporation run by evil adults.

• Two other children break into the evil corporation and get control of the mechanical Godzilla control board. (Thank goodness for the children.)

• They can't override mechanical Godzilla's program. So one kid pours a drink on the control board to short out mechanical Godzilla. (Thank goodness for the children.)

• Kong and Godzilla decide they cannot be friends. But they will settle for Godzilla controlling the water. And Kong controlling the land.

• Kong returns to the center of the Earth. But he needs human supervision.

This is a movie for kids, and adults who can suspend disbelief.

There is plenty of action and violence. No nudity or sex. Couple of curse words.

I gave it a 10 for action and special effects. A 1 for plot. Halfway between 1 and 10 is my rating of 5.
