The MonsterVerse from Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. is a guilty pleasure of mine. While none of the four movies made so far are great, I have really enjoyed each one of them, no matter how ridiculous the stories have become. If the goal of these movies was to get me emotionally invested in these monsters … it worked. Sure, I cared about what happened to the people in the films, but it's Godzilla and King Kong who I really care about.
Thus, it was hard to choose a side in this movie. I wanted them both to win … yet I'm also glad that the movie did not leave an ambiguous ending as to which one is dominant. Basically, this is a movie about monsters fighting mixed in with some strange, but still fun, fantasy/science fiction elements that really don't make practical sense, but still fit in this movie.
At some point, I would not mind doing a marathon of these four connected films. It might be too much (which is a reason that I also haven't done a Mission Impossible marathon). Still, they are clearly connecting the stories and characters, even if there is a huge gap between Kong: Skull Island and the movies with Godzilla, and I think it might be worth seeing how they've connected the dots. Maybe next year.
