The way I felt, San Francisco is still the best structured fight scene to date in the MonsterVerse. Everything felt more satisfying from the heavier feel and dire stakes of it all, a lot was played for more “drama”
KSI was just Kong trading blows with the other monster the whole time, it’s a great action piece but that’s all it is, the emotion is sucked dry.
GKOTM plays on the “epicness” and throws way too much at you, we’re told at the
very beginning of it all that Godzilla’s about to go “thermonuclear” and they do nothing to
show it, we then jump between Millie and Mark/Emma’s subplot for an absurdly long amount of time interwoven between every other shot of the monsters (who are just standing still looking menacingly waiting for the other monster to hit it, save for Mothra and Rodan who are speedballing the entire time) it’s just an overload, there’s too much going on to care about anything but the battle, not to mention every big dramatic scene like Godzilla going limp, hitting the ground from the sky drop, Godzilla laying there injured, Madison waking up, or Mothra’s death has absolutely no room to breathe because it plays out for half a second to show the next part of the battle.
I can see why any one of these battles could be your favorite but this is just how I see them.
God only knows how the next one will play out cause they’re getting worst and worst.
