ONE WILL FALL.

An expedition uses Kong to take them into the Hollow Earth, looking for a power source; meanwhile, Godzilla wreaks havoc.

Another entry in the monster franchise that began with Godzilla (2014), this one promising the ultimate showdown between the giant ape and his radioactive nemesis. Battles between them out to sea and in Hong Kong will grab your attention, which is needed because the story is far less engaging than the visual effects.

Still, all in all done with compassion for the genre and we are made to care for Kong and his quest for happiness.
