The big guys patch up their differences to battle a common foe in this latest Warner Bros. MonsterVerse installment, starring Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall and Brian Tyree Henry.

The fifth and latest entry in the Warner Bros. MonsterVerse franchise has the misfortune of arriving on the heels of the Oscar-crowned. That Japanese film demonstrated that it’s still possible to make a monster movie involving the iconic, irradiated giant lizard that also features a compelling narrative and memorable characters.

But the human characters take a back seat to the film’s titular stars who, as the title indicates, are no longer quite the foes they were in 2021’s. They’re not bosom buddies, mind you, still engaging in a scrappy brawl that looks impressive in Imax.

The rudimentary storyline involves the human characters descending into Hollow Earth, where they discover an ancient Iwi civilization that, after an initially frosty reception, turns out to be quite welcoming to their visitors. After all, they have a mutual goal, which is to prevent Skar King and his minions from wreaking havoc both above and below.
