MonsterVerse ranked by Rotten Tomatoes scores
Warner Bros/Apple TVHere, we have every King Kong and Godzilla MonsterVerse movie and TV show ranked by their Rotten Tomatoes scores.
The MonsterVerse movies have produced hit after hit after the box office, the latest being Godzilla x Kong.
Not every kaiju clobber-fest can be a winner though (our Godzilla x Kong review called it “the weakest collab of the century”).
Money isn’t everything; what counts most is what fans think the franchise’s best movies are. So, here are the Kong and Godzilla MonsterVerse movies and TV shows ranked by their scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

If you’re wondering where Godzilla Minus One is, it’s not on this list because it’s not a MonsterVerse movie. If it were, it would be ranked number 1 thanks to its 92% critic score.
While a Godzilla Minus One sequel isn’t on the cards and it’s a standalone film, it’s worth seeking out. You can find out how to watch Godzilla Minus One here. Alternatively, find out the answer to Godzilla vs Kong: who is stronger?
