What's up residents, it's your mayor Alistair back once again with some big atomic sized news.

Godzilla Kong The New Empire has finally released, which means we're getting thousands of initial reactions from the film, as the review embargo lifted last night.

And so far, the reception has been very mixed.

I gave the film an eight out of ten for its imaginative set pieces, beautiful visuals, and

action, but that its writing was flawed and had a lot of contrivances.

I had a blast watching it, and I think most of the fans of the franchise will have a great time with it.

Though today, we're going to take a look at the general reception for it.

How are people reacting to the film so far?

Well, originally it opened to a pretty decent fresh score of sixty nine percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Nice.

Honestly, it's higher than I expected, since when I saw it opening night, I thought to myself, this is a film not made for critics.

So the initial response was quite surprising, actually.

But as of right now, it's dipped all the way down to a Rotten score of fifty six percent, with sixty eight fresh reviews and fifty four rotten reviews.

This might increase or decrease, however, as more people go out to watch the film.

Now, remember, this doesn't represent the film's quality.

All it shows is the percentage of critics that enjoyed it.

Now, what I'd argue is more important is the audience rating, since that's indicative of how the general audience is receiving the film, which, in the end, is what will drive that box office performance.

And, as of right now, Godzilla Kong has a score of ninety three percent, the highest in the MonsterVerse.

The audience has spoken, and they love the new Empire.

But now we have the context that people are enjoying the film, let's pivot back to those critic reviews and take a closer look at what people are saying, and you can decide whether you agree with them or not.

Katie Walsh at Tribune News Service says, When you multiply Godzilla by Kong, what do you get?

When Wingard's doing the math, it's an earnest, wacky, hectic ride that often feels like being thrashed around in an IMAX seat.

And for some reason that's a rotten score, but I don't know about you, but that sounds like a positive review.

It's wacky and hectic and it feels like you're being thrashed about.

That's what you want.

How is that not a good thing?

There's actually quite a few of these where they kind of say good things, but it's still a rotten score, which just shows even more to ignore that critical rating.

George Riviera Rubio from Quibbo says, one of the silliest, most incoherent movies I've seen this year, and I freaking loved it.

Five more like this, please.

And yeah, this guy gets it.

This sounds like the kind of guy who's, even though he's a critic, understands that these films are made for fun, and there's a lot of silly but imaginative visuals that really push this to another level.

Odie Henderson from the Boston Globe, who's a top critic, says, the problem with Godzilla Kong The New Empire is the same as so many of these franchise based films.

They're all soulless special effects extravaganzas where CGI takes the place of character development, good writing, and emotional connection.

So you look at reviews like this and just wonder, why did you go watch it?

If you didn't want a special effects extravaganza, why are you going to watch a monster film?

And I don't know about you, but in the film there is plenty of character development and emotional connection, but it's mainly towards Gia and, of course, Kong.

But what it seems like is a lot of these critics don't really consider the monsters to be characters.

They just can't really comprehend that just yet.

Emma Wolfe from Spooky Astronaut says, not my favorite, but I didn't dislike it.

Um, well, why is it a rotten score then?

See, I don't get it.

She gave it a five out of ten, which isn't a great rating, but I mean, that review says it's not that bad.

Jeremy Jan says, it's dumb at times, but dumb fun at times.

If it's dumb fun, then you had fun with it.

Why has it got a rotten score?

Kylie Smith from the Wall Street Journal says, I guess if you're not wowed by soulless CGI chaos.

Thrilling?

Not really.

At the end I was left feeling the way Kong does at the beginning.

Tired and bored.

Once again, what constitutes towards being soulless?

because I assure you the people that worked on this film are extremely passionate about what they're creating.

It's made by fans for fans at the end of the day and there is plenty of heart at the core with themes of oppression and slavery as well as what it feels like to be taken from your culture.

I don't know about you but

that doesn't feel soulless to me.

Charles Pulliam Moore from The Verge says, Godzilla Kong The New Empire, pronounced Godzilla Kong, like I first and last name, features enough crowd pleasing fights to satisfy theatergoers, but those hoping for the film to establish a way for the franchise to keep evolving may be disappointed.

And I don't know about you, but in my opinion, The New Empire still feels vastly different from Godzilla vs Kong.

In my opinion, it has evolved the genre pretty significantly.

We've never really had a film where the monsters have been as focused as this, but it seems a lot of people are just kind of ignoring the actual qualities of it.

Dylan Roth from The Observer says, this is a monster movie for monster movie fans and not more.

but hardly ten minutes goes by without monster action.

Um, good!

We want an action packed movie!

But yeah, I'm glad they gave it a fresh score.

Thank you, Observer.

Richard Kroos from Richard Kroos says, The Rock'em Sock'em action of Godzilla Minus One turns it up to eleven.

It's a popcorn munching crowd pleaser that comes in and goes out with a roar.

I'm not really sure why they needed to compare it to Godzilla Minus One,

The two films are not even remotely the same, but you know what, I appreciate that they've given it a fresh score.

Peter Howell from the Toronto Star says, Returning director Adam Wingard and his writers really lean into the cartoonish style of the Showa era Godzilla films from the years of the film.

This includes abandoning all pretense of logic or plausibility

never a huge concern in this franchise.

I do appreciate that he has brought up the Showa era, he seems to be the only person who's actually done his research.

Next up we've got David Jenkins with Little White Lines, who says,

Mentioning no names, but we all know he's talking about DC, and at least Wingard has the humble intent of a filmmaker who wants to make something simple, coherent, and fun.

And that's one of the things I praised in my review, it's just so imaginative and creative and fun with how it delivers these action set pieces.

It's honestly really going underappreciated.

Jermaine Lucia, if I pronounced that right, from IO Nine says, Godzilla Kong The New Empire is not a bad movie.

It's not a painful watch.

There are good ideas in it, along with beautiful visuals.

It is, however, largely forgettable, and that's a letdown when you've got two of the biggest stars.

ever.

Literally.

You know, I understand why people would think it's forgettable.

There's just so much action packed into that one hour, fifty five minute runtime, where it kind of just blends into one once you've left the screening.

But I do really think this is a film that's going to get better on rewatches, when you can really soak in all the little details.

Although, again, this doesn't sound like it should have been a rotten score.

He says it's not a bad movie.

Well, if it's not a bad movie, why have you said it's bad?

Chris Parker, a fellow YouTuber over at Three C Films, says, Full of vibrant color visuals, several action fueled sequences, but most importantly, a ton of heart.

It's not without its flaws, but when a movie is this fun, who cares?

And he gave it an eight out of ten, like me.

See, this guy gets it.

He really understands what makes this film special.

He's gone in with certain expectations and the films only match that.

But I feel like a lot of these critics have gone into it without even watching a trailer.

Next up we've got Ayman Warman, which I actually saw the film early with.

And he's from Empire Magazine, who says, this doesn't reinvent the wheel and keeps you waiting too long for the final showdown.

When the creatures collide, it delivers satisfying thrills.

I asked him when we saw the film, what are you going to rate it?

And he said, probably like a three out of five.

So I'm actually pretty happy that he stuck to his guns and not buckled under the pressure of other critics' low reviews.

Next up we've got what I think is the harshest and most ridiculous review of them all.

Alex Bentley from CultureMap says, Godzilla Kong the New Empire is an abomination, a film that contains close to zero charm, humor, or any other kind of emotion.

It's a soulless promotion that doesn't know how to properly showcase either its human or monster characters.

I don't want to be mean, but how can someone be so miserable?

This review stands out because abomination is such a wild word to use as a critic.

Zero charm, humor, or any emotion?

I don't know if this guy just hates the monster genre, but it seems like he didn't actually watch this film because there's a ton of charm and especially humor?

This film made me laugh.

Quite a lot, actually.

So yeah, no, don't listen to that guy's review.

So yeah, no, I mean, there's plenty of rotten reviews where you can go, yeah, I understand where they're coming from, but not that.

Zach Pope from Zach Pope Reviews says, the War of the Monsters I've been craving from the Monsterverse.

a brutal bash that explores Hollow Earth and centers the monsters as the main characters.

I'm not joking, there are moments where it's all monsters, no cutaways to humans.

All hail Adam Wingard.

Thank you, Zach, and I really appreciate the callback to War of the Monsters.

I loved that game when I was younger.

Next up we've got Tim Grierson from Screen International who says, There is very little emotion or inspiration underneath the orgy tastic violence, and especially in the wake of last year's ingenious Japanese produced Godzilla Minus One.

The new empire feels old hat.

Once again, Minus One is a completely different genre.

The New Empire exceeded in one area, and Minus One exceeded in the other.

They can both exist together.

They don't need to keep getting compared like this.

It's just getting silly.

And finally, we have Owen Gleiberman from Variety, who says, the movie can make your head hurt, but not because it's too convoluted to follow.

It's because the real convolution is, why are we supposed to care about any of this?

I don't know, man, just don't watch monster movies.

It's the fifth entry in the Monsterverse, so it's gonna have themes and story plots that have followed through from the previous films, so if you didn't care about those or didn't even bother to remember them, then just don't go watch it.

Don't review it.

They don't get critics.

Some have pretty

For those that have watched it, what did you make of it?
