I watched the Big Monkey fight the Big Lizard.
There were a lot of people talking and being not normal humans in the movie. There seem to have been some technological leaps since the last Godzilla movie. I remember the first one in this current iteration being very grounded in modern times and the next one sort of upping things to allow the humans to contain and monitor giant eggs or something and also submarine tech got better (hard to remember). I didn't see Kong: Skull Island, so idk about that. But the jump in tech appears exponential.
Speaking of annoying things, the logistics of moving Kong around (so he could punch Big Lizard) left so many questions. First, the fact that some corporation could move him around just because some lady gave the ok is WILD. That really seems like something the U.N. would want to talk about first? Then, this corporation seems to own an entire naval fleet complete with multiple aircraft carriers which cost tens of billions of dollars to build and like $100B to maintain a year, and these guys just have some lying around. Also, these things are nuclear powered, meaning there is a nuclear reactor on the ship to make it go, and that is one of those things the US Government is pretty good at regulating.
After suspending your disbelief beyond there being a Big Lizard who wanted to fight a Big Monkey, the rest of the movie is pretty good. It does, however, ask you to suspend disbelief a lot as things get fairly cartoonish even beyond the title fight, especially the villain of the film because there just had to be one for some reason. It's worth the watch. You get what you come for, and they didn't lie with the "One will fall" tagline, either.
