I checked out Godzilla x Kong last night. It was alright... At least it didn't feel overly generic like the last couple. It has it's own "feel" to it. It felt more like an Adam Wingard movie than the Godzilla vs. Kong. The music was good, and I always like Dan Stevens. The visuals were a step up, and it kept my interest. The fight scenes were fun.

Although as a Godzilla fan it felt like Kong co-starring Godzilla. 'Zilla often shows up for a couple minutes then quickly disappears. I would have prefered a version where Godzilla is the star of his own movie. At least this one doesn't waste our time developing human characters and removes much of the forced humor. The new kaiju were also pretty cool, and had a few moments themselves.

It's definitely not Minus One good... but it was fun for what it was. I liked it more than Ghostbusters. I do wish they treated the story seriously. The peak of this franchise will always be the first 30 minutes before Bryan Cranston unexpectedly croaked. If only they kept that going the rest of the way.
