Just watched it today, I think it's way much better than the 2014 one. In a monster movie, we want the monsters to be the main attraction and they are. This time the monster actions are also much more visible, unlike the mostly dark screens of the 2014 movie. I do agree that some of the monster actions are also cut out a bit much to switch to the human action, but I still enjoy the movie.

A 7/10 rating from me.

Kong still looks small because of the ship and chains yet now same size as Godzilla. Seems like they've messed up the scaling. How big and strong is the ship to withstand 2 titans fighting on top of it???

Just watched GvK 2 days ago. The action scenes are well done and even better than GKoM with very nice CGI. The story is of course not so logical nor important, this is just brainless monster fighting movie anyway and it exactly delivers that purpose. My minor issue with this one is sometimes I feel the scaling is a bit off whereby they don't look as gargantuan as before especially during the ship fight. Kong never look so big especially in the beginning so when start fighting with Godzilla then Godzilla also doesn't look as massive. What bothers me is how come 2 monster titans can fight ON a ship without sinking or breaking it to pieces with their weight? How huge and strong is that ship? Godzilla's leg also seem a bit smaller or skinnier than previous movies especially when it stepped on Kong.

Other than that, yeah I still enjoyed it cuz it delivers exactly what it supppsed to, brainless movie of monster fighting actions done very well.

Watched it few hours ago.
Expected nothing, so the movie delivered what it was supposed to deliver i.e. brainless monster action movie.
However, it felt subpar, in more ways than one, in comparison to King of Monsters.
Even though the runtime is close to 2 hours, movie felt short.
Fight sequences between Godzilla and King Kong? Well, you almost witness most of it through the trailer, so you basically going in for the remaining 40% of it.
The real foe of the movie was somewhat revealed in the trailer, so no surprise when it showed up in the movie.
While I enjoyed its presence on the big screen, I left thinking … “That’s it?”

One thing though, just being in the cinema, gosh, the feeling … nostalgic!
Missed it so much.

I also feel GKOM is a bit better than this GvK.
