Was it Godfather-level 10/10? No. Was I grinning like an idiot, saying "Wow!" out loud and fist-bumping my son throughout? YES! This is what I expect for my money- a literal bang for my buck.
SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY
Stuff I liked off the top of my head:
-Mini Kong was weird and creepy in the beginning, but I grew to love him. I couldn't believe Kong used him as a weapon!
-the fight in Egypt was incredible (poor pyramids)! The one in Brazil was almost as good.
-the multiple locations around the world made it feel like a Bond movie.
-I liked all the human characters, especially the grumpy (Scottish?) pilot and Bernie Hayes. The girl- Jia- was good as always.
-the fights were pretty brutal, starting from the first minutes of the movie.
-there are long sections of the movie where titans and other creatures are communicating without words but you understand everything they're "saying." Often reminded me of a Planet of the Apes movie.
-the music was spot-on and rocked throughout.
-not too many "talky," exposition scenes.
-this movie does ice threat well (which Ghostbusters Frozen Empire didn't quite manage).
-MOTHRA!!! (my favourite titan)
Didn't like:
-there must be thousands or hundred of thousands of people dead in Rio after the rampage there! R. I. P.
Overall, VERY happy to have seen this! Definitely catch it in theatres (although I had to stand up and tell some douchebag a few rows down from me to stop filming the movie on her phone).
