Movie was good and only got really dumb two or three times which is a miracle for how much happened in it.

Also it really pushed the amount of hosed up poo poo you can get away with in a non R rated movie

However, the most interesting characters were all the supporting players, whereas as the seemingly romantic leads were as thinly sketched as they possibly could be. Plus, I felt it suffered some times from CG magic camera, the thing that made Gareth Edwards' Godzilla so effective for me is how he kept his camera often in very human spaces (inside office windows, cockpits) which made his monsters seem more viscerally terrifying, massive and awe inspiring. Vogt-Robert's camera spins madly in the air around Kong and is unbound by any sense of physicality which, while it does make for some great fights and awesome imagery, lacked the same power. There's nothing in this film comparable to the Golden Gate sequence in Godzilla 14.

Kong also still isn't as big as Godzilla. As Steve Brule said he's not finished growing!

Mothra is an evil blood god not a protector of humanity

Seriously in the first Mothra movie you see them doing some poo poo with blood (briefly) while they worship her and in like every movie she threatens to destroy Japan. Once because they finally find a weapon that can defend them from Godzilla!

I was thinking about how the movie uses the Hollow Earth "hypothesis" in it's setting, and I think I've realized something important:

the "No Real Forests" idea would mesh tremendously well with Kaiju fiction.

so you're saying the amazon is biollante
