Godzilla vs. Kong

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on HBO Max

Director Adam Wingard's new film finds the two biggest stars of the MonsterVerse movies engaging in a battle royale — and we're not talking about Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler, with all due respect to those fine actors. Yes, Godzilla vs. Kong boasts mucho big beast mayhem as the two titular monsters go at it like a pair of professional wrestlers — or action movie characters. "Creating the fights was absolutely the funnest thing that I've ever done in my entire career," says Wingard, whose film costars Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, and Brian Tyree Henry, among others. "The trick is to treat a monster brawl the same way you would a normal action film. I want to see people take damage." —Clark Collis
