Godzilla vs. Kong LEGENDARY
Two giant monsters battling each other in the city streets may be just the escapism audiences need right now. Godzilla vs. Kong, released on March 26, presents the two monsters facing off once more on the silver screen after nearly 60 years.
两大巨兽在城市街道上交战，可能正是观众此刻需要的一种逃避现实的方式。《哥斯拉大战金刚》于3月26日上映，两大巨兽时隔近60年后再度银幕对决。
Godzilla vs. Kong is the fourth and latest film in Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse that started with Godzilla in 2014 and was followed up by Kong: Skull Island in 2017 and Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019. South China Morning Post called it the “highlight” of the franchise as it ventures more into science fiction, including a trip to the center of the Earth.
《哥斯拉大战金刚》是传奇影业打造的第四部也是最后一部“怪兽宇宙”系列电影。前三部分别是：2014年上映的《哥斯拉》，2017年上映的《金刚：骷髅岛》，2019年上映的《哥斯拉2：怪兽之王》。《南华早报》评其为系列最佳，因为这部电影涉及更多科幻元素，包括地心世界之旅。
Many critics agree that the title delivers on its promise of monster action. From inventive daylight fighting to an exciting battle on Hong Kong’s coast, the monster movie gives all the explosive action you’d expect.
许多人表示，这部电影的名称就履行了怪兽动作片给观众的承诺。从别出心裁的白日决战到中国香港海岸的激战，这部怪兽大片呈现了你所期待的所有超燃动作场面。
“The visual effects are stunning, feeling like exactly the first pre-summer blockbuster popcorn movie we all need right now. There is a realism and yet also a necessary fantastical distance for certain of the more [unusual] concepts, and it all meshes beautifully together,” wrote Mark Hughes on Forbes.
“视觉效果太赞了，可以说是今年夏季档以前，首部人人必看的爆米花爽片。对于某些（不寻常的）概念，既有现实主义，又留有必要的想象空间，并且这些都完美结合，”马克·休斯在《福布斯》上写道。
Even with the impressive scenes, some critics say that the film lacks substance despite reconnecting with the spirit of the original Japanese films.
尽管画面深入人心，也结合了日本原版电影的精髓，但一些人仍认为这部电影缺乏主旨。
“There’s just no real soul to any of these monsters,” Luke Goodsell wrote on ABC Arts. He also said that most of the supporting human characters were “dull”.
“这些怪兽都没有真的灵魂，”卢克·古德塞尔在美国广播公司艺术栏目上写道。他还表示，很多真人配角都很“无聊”。
