Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a totally passable Godzilla movie following very closely in Godzilla vs Kong's steps as far as visuals and story telling go.

Where it differs is in introducing a new (to me) cast of Kaiju that as far as I can tell are completely original to this story -- unlike the last few entries that pulled from the classic monster cast with Ghidora, MechaGodzilla, etc.

The story and acting fell a little flat for me, but the visuals are undeniably incredible, so for the specticle alone I would watch it again.

My only nit-pick about the visuals was that there is no sense of scale, most of the monsters might be huge or just normal animal size it's hard to tell, but the fight scene at the end actually did a good job of selling some scale well which I appreciated.
