I thought it was interesting that John C. Reilly felt like the most complete character in the movie. I expected him to be nothing but comic relief, but he was enjoyable and had a nice progression through the film. Jackson and Goodman's characters are the next most well-developed, while Larson and Hiddleston end up being paper-thin. I think they both get like one or two lines that tell you anything about them. I loved the scene where Kong finishes destroying the choppers and Packard stares him down through the flames. Packard was a man who didn't want the war to end, and he found one more enemy to fight. I think that in the end his hesitation to finish off Kong was motivated less by ensuring the safety of Weaver and Conrad and more because he didn't want the fight to be over yet. And it wasn't until the big skullcrawler appeared that he realized there were other foes left in the world.

Ponderous Saxon posted:I was disappointed that there were no ants - the other insects were really nicely done. I really liked the big old stick insect guy who get shot a few times and just walks away. Very chill giant bug. Also it was weird to see Kong turned into a protector of humanity, especially since they're gonna bring in Mothra and that's more of her gig. And Monarch is definitely run by Mothra in some fashion, right?

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Perhaps they were establishing those characters so they could carry across to some of the other films? If not then yeah, apart from "Needs attractive leads with sexual tension" I don't know why they were written in. I'm pretty sure the only sexual tension in the movie was between Samuel L. Jackson's character and Kong.
