The Titans have returned in. This is the latest installment in the MonsterVerse, and it sees the King of the Monsters and the King of the Beasts needing to take on a new threat. This film is directed by Adam Wingard, who returns to the series after directing the 2021 movie Godzilla vs. Kong. The MonsterVerse has taken on many different forms under its many directors. But if you saw Godzilla vs. Kong, you probably have a good idea of what to expect from this one: a silly, over-the-top kaiju with one hell of a battle at the end.
It starts out with some more great monster action with Kong. He’s always been a fun character to watch, and these movies humanize him while making him a force to be reckoned with. The movie also brings in Godzilla and lets us know what he’s been up to. Right from the start, this movie takes everything in a direction where all realism is thrown out the window. Godzilla x Kong is a ludicrous movie for many reasons, and the fact that there are all these giant monsters regularly wreaking havoc in the world is just the tip of the iceberg.
Wingard brings a distinctive style to the MonsterVerse. Gareth Edwards’s 2014 Godzilla movie brought a lot of maturity and character to the series, while Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters featured a lot more crazy monster action. Wingard’s style appears to be afraid of having a dull moment. From the very beginning, Wingard is always giving you something to look at or hear, even though this script from Terry Rossio, Simon Barrett, and Jeremy Slater does not always warrant it.
There’s a constant stream of music permeating every scene. The score from Junkie XL and Antonio Di Iorio is not bad, but it’s all over every scene to the point where it becomes distracting. The drama of the dialogue rarely gets the chance to land because the music is always trying to tell you how to feel. The editing feels a little too fast-paced. It seems as if Wingard knew the human scenes were not very interesting, and he needed to breeze through them as much as he could. However, there is still an attempt to give some humanity to the people living in this story.
The main attempt is the relationship between Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) and her adopted daughter Jia (Kaylee Hottle). The movie introduces an idea early on that Jia does not feel at home where she is and Ilene is having trouble connecting with her. That’s the only emotional storyline. Besides that, the humans are just exposition machines who say a few quips. But when we have Dan Stevens entering the franchise as Trapper, it’s not all bad. He’s a very entertaining presence in the movie and he gets to have a lot of fun in this role. Brian Tyree Henry is also an excellent actor, even though his

Given that they worked together on two Scream movies beforehand, it's impossible not to compare Melissa Barrera's newest horror collaboration with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett to the Ghostface-fronted franchise. Abigail, the trio's latest, is similar in tone, too, as its characters try to make sense of the bonkers situation they've found themselves in through vampire pop culture.

Dead Cells is officially finished after seven years of support, and based on what I've seen of it so far, developer Motion Twin's next game may quickly take its place in the hearts of many fans and join the ranks of the best roguelikes. Windblown is an isometric action roguelike with support for up to three-player co-op, it's hitting PC early access later this year, and it looks like a compelling mix of modern genre staples and Dead Cells DNA.
