You get what you expect from this film, especially if you've seen the previous instalments in the franchise.
There is some exciting monster action, that can't be denied. It perhaps takes a little long to get stuck into this and there should definitely have been more, but when we get it it is pretty good. It maybe feels a little similar to the previous film though. I think if this franchise wants to move forward it needs to find a way to shake things up a bit and try to reinvent itself.
The human side of things, as ever, is where this film gets let down. There is some half decent monster mythology that gets explored, but really the humans only exist to progress the monster action. That would be fine but they dwell on the human side of things for too long. Either develop the characters and the story lines or just dramatically reduce the human characters screen time. This film makes us spend a little too much time with them for me with very little reward.
Overall though this film is a decent bit of fun. I don't think it's as good as Godzilla vs Kong, but it just about does the job.
