One of the best things about the first two Monsterverse films - the still underrated Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island - is that the giant monsters were actually, to some degree, scary.

In both those films, especially the former, the directors (Gareth Edwards and Jordan Vogt-Roberts respectively) filled the movie with suspense, frightening tension and consistently emphasized just how massive all these monsters are... and how powerless the human characters are next to them.

As a result, there was a real sense of "Holy s**t!" throughout, but that's largely absent in Godzilla Vs. Kong.

Sure, it's a more light-hearted film than those earlier two, but having a bit more fear and suspense in the proceedings definitely wouldn't have hurt.
