The main page says it won’t come out till tomorrow but the critic page lists them so…Here’s some highlights:

Metascore: 52 Positive Reviews: 6 Mixed Reviews: 14 Negative Reviews 1

The Wrap: 84: It’s no small compliment to say that 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' is expertly crafted drivel.

The Film Verdict: 68: If Hollywood insists on continuing its own separate monsterverse, it could do worse than GxK, a film where giant beasts wallop the tar out of each other with thrilling efficacy.

Chicago Sun-Time: 50: Godzilla x King Kong: The New Empire is the definition of an old-fashioned (with new technology) popcorn movie and there’s certainly no harm in that, but at the end of the day, it feels like the stakes have never been more medium.

The Telegraph: 40: There’s some commendable trippiness towards the end, but for the most part Godzilla Smooch Kong is all too ready to fall back on delivering the bare minimum promised by its title. It’s giant monsters fighting, the thing constantly shrugs: what else do you want? Ideally a bit more than this.

Rolling Stone: 40: What this feels like is a second-generation copy of a copy, and one that suffers from the typical franchise law of diminishing returns. No one expects the reinvention of the MonsterVerse wheel, but it’d be nice to have something that isn’t more of the same and less than the sum of its I.P. parts.
