After Zack Snyder’s Justice League just crashed HBO Max’s server, the highly anticipated Godzilla vs Kong is just around the corner and now we have the first reactions.
After a long time of delays, Godzilla vs Kong will finally hit the big and small screens in just about two weeks. Today the social media embargo has lifted giving critics the chance to post their early reactions to the anticipated monster brawl.
First Reactions To Godzilla Vs Kong

The critical reactions are overall pretty positive, praising the action, the bonkers story, the VFX and Adam Wingard’s direction. The human characters still get too much screen time and seemingly have the same problems as in the previous movies in the “Monsterverse”. Apparently, even the high tier ensemble cast can’t change that, if the early reactions are to be believed.
I've seen #GodzillaVsKong and it is grade-A awesome! The monster brawls are badass & beautiful — huge fights, all well designed & super gnarly. Solid story, strong cast, really good score. A true Midnight Monster Movie & my favorite of the four modern Godzilla/Kong movies. pic.twitter.com/zkEhbvS9pf

#GodzillavsKong is a visual spectacle featuring jaw-dropping fight scenes btwn the two iconic titans. Wingard’s directing style is on full display in a colorful & breathtaking fashion that also harkens back to the 80s style kaiju. Needless to say, this film is a blast! pic.twitter.com/j31lc55iVO

The human scenes are exactly what you expect and not worth talking about.
The #Godzilla and #Kong stuff is why you pay to see this movie on an @IMAX screen. They each have scenes that showcase their power and the 3rd act is awesome. pic.twitter.com/NaOvVqJF4f
#GodzillaVsKong is breathtaking, out of this world, and easily the best in the series! The heart of the story is Kong, and the human story complements the monsters' adventures, allowing them to shine. Just seeing the two iconic monsters battling each other is worth it alone. pic.twitter.com/cHEe1f579M

As expected – and probably as it should be – the titan fights are the best parts of #GodzillaVsKong . Adam Wingard definitely has the eye to make the most of those moments! Still don't think they've nailed how to incorporate human characters, but the top-notch ensemble helps. pic.twitter.com/ttpmNJOElo

I watched #GodzillaVsKong on a big IMAX screen and it was AWESOME. The movie is a blast. It’s like Fast & Furious but with giant monsters.

It’s exactly what I wanted it to be. Giant fights and they’re just SO MUCH FUN to watch. It’s a big, ridiculous, awesome movie. pic.twitter.com/v6e9hpWqd0
We will get a better look a wider range of critics’ opinions when the Godzilla vs Kong review embargo lifts on March 29.
