I liked 'The Tracker', I liked 'The guy who's been there for 40 years', I like the interaction with the characters and the light humor. Kong Skull Island (imo) is a really good Kaiju movie because like some of the best Godzilla movies you enjoy the human part of the story as much as you enjoy the Monster side of the story.

For whatever reason not only do I not like the 2014 and 2019 Godzilla humans, I actually found them somewhat unlikable, (except Brian Cranston who I thought was great, and under utilized.) I didn't care what happened to them and felt they were very one-dimensional and not very interesting at all.

and I'm truly shocked that the one girl in KOTM got paid over a million dollars to basically just run around and look scared a bit. Was there any acting done? She yelled, "Mom!"... and uh,... ran around a bit,.. and... laid in a bathtub, and ... yeah that's about it.

And as much as I loved seeing the monsters (and maybe it's just because I saw it in 3d?) but I didn't find the fights all that easy to follow. Some were easier than others, and Rodan I thought was exceptional, but there were definite times I had a hard time figuring out what had just happened.

All that said I still enjoyed the movie and was very excited to see Ghidora, Rodan and Mothra done up in CGI.

Stranger thing /it girl? The famous Chinese girl and japanese guy are playing extra steretype although not racist bad one, but ... It's like fan bing bing again. Hollywood going for representation and china box office need up its game. Great Wall bomb with white guys saving Asians. There's also westernized outdated interpretation of Martial arts and magic similar akin to yellow / black face. Anyway, I look forward to kong vs godz. Kong cast were pretty good because they're likable enough and they are part of action and contribute more. Godzilla need pace itself and spread the action out. I also want to see an evolved shin godzilla. It's tail was filled with mini xenomorh like creatures. Japan take on aliens?
