Maybe because the whole fun of Kaiju rumbles were rubber suits, practical effects and miniature work for me. CGI just doesn?t hit the same.

I'm with you in that I got into toku because I liked the suit work, but I think the CGI here is fine enough. I really enjoyed Godzilla '14 and Kong, found KOTM to be very underwhelming, and had slightly mixed but overall positive feelings on Godzilla vs Kong (I just wish it took itself a little more seriously...)

This is what does it for me. I'm really not a fan of this whole "center of the Earth" thing going on. It was my least favorite part of GvK, but it moved the plot forward so it was fine I guess...but obviously that was never going to be the end of it. This is now going to be the focus of the series moving forward and the source of many future monsters, and I just don't like it.

Hopefully I'm proven wrong and we end up with a solid adventure movie, but I'm just not feeling it right now.
