Alright, I’ve seen Godzilla vs Kong twice now. Without spoilers I can say its an amazing movie that is basically just a big budget cgi wrestling match.

HOLY **** that movie is a lot of fun. The human segments were much faster paced and felt way more involved, it was still rather boring, but was tolerable by Godzilla standards.
Alexander Skarsgard is a great casting choice. I can’t think of him as anything other than Randall Flagg from the Stand so its really fun seeing him go from an incredibly captivating villain to a cheesy action hero.
Kong’s characterization was amazing, he felt like an actual character rather than a big monster. The axe really helped him feel less generic.
Godzilla was always my champion though. His presence being held off to fights was a great idea. It gave him much more intimidation than in KotM.
Mechagodzilla is beautiful. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the redesign, but I’ll take anything that isn’t the anime design. Him being possessed by Ghidorah was pure genius. (Does that also technically mean Mechaghidorah is in the movie?)
Although, I must admit I am definitely a little disappointed that KotM introduced 4 new monsters and let Rodan survive but GvK had em all hibernate I guess?
Overall, its an amazing action movie and a great way to spend 2 hours. I hope Legendary continues to make Monsterverse movies.
