The Deeper Story

I really liked how this novelization really tied many events better than the movie, it really helps the reader dive deep into the monster-verse and understand more about it. The audiobook reader was outstanding and read it as it should have been read, outstanding!

fun insight to the titans

getting perspective from the titans is one of my favoeote part of the adaptions. and it follows the movie very well with some extra scenes to add a bit more to the story without changing anything

A decent follow up

I like this book more than the adaptations of Godzilla and Godzilla King of the Monsters. Godzilla vs Kong is still the best. I don’t like needing the books to flesh out the movie, but it’s needed just like the last one. I really would have preferred this was just a Kong story. Godzilla is an add on. I hope the next one will be Godzilla only.

the summary of the Godzilla x Kong the new empire was great because it told the story about the movie 🎥🍿 in the theater.

I told the story of Godzilla legs calling in a way that it describes the movie and what's going on.

Awesome!

Godzilla may have gotten his name in the title, but this is all Kong's story. This might be because Kong is the more sympathetic character, obviously lonely and searching through the Hollow Earth for more giant apes like him. Godzilla just goes around beating up the occasional titan. But Kong has some pretty amazing adventures as he seeks out his own kind, only to run into a terrible evil and the most powerful monster yet found on earth. You know that the situation has to be truly dire when King Kong goes running to Godzilla for help.

I haven't seen the movie, but as in the last book, there are some scenes that would really work great on the big screen such as Godzilla curling up in the Colosseum in Rome to take a nap, and Kong and Godzilla battling it out in Egypt by the great pyramids. Then of course there are the fabulous Hollow Earth scenes, the discovery of the ancestor species of the human tribe that Kong had protected on Skull Island, and a lot more monster fights. The epic showdown between all the monsters in Rio would be pretty awesome too.

I'm still impressed with Keyes' ability to make a novel about titanic monsters who don't speak so interesting and exciting, but he has pulled it off again.

Excellently written, wonderfully read

I was delighted to see that GxK had a novelization. I love reading them after I see a movie because they fill in so much background and so many details that have to be edited from the film. This one was a delight, and will add an extra layer of enjoyment every time I rewatch the movie.

a pretty good time

narrator was great, extra details was good fleshed things out a bit more, if you're a fan of the movie you'll really enjoy this

The extra stuff

They added more stuff that added onto the movie and made stuff make sense like in the movie it was never explained how the Skar king destroyed the outpost but now it is told to us how

more detail

I like how they give the author more material to write about and it isn't a 1 to 1 of the movie.

Made me appreciate the movie more

A fantastic retelling of the movie with a lot of extra that genuinely adds a lot of depth to the plot. The stand out was Director Hampton who is now my favorite human character in the Monsterverse
