The big-monster fighting action is great and is just as good as it was in Godzilla, which works immensely to this film’s benefit cause we get a bit more of it than we did in Godzilla.

It also gives it’s lesser known actors the same opportunities, something I appreciated. Skull Island also does a great job of not squandering it’s A-list cast, being actors such as Tom Hiddleston and John Goodman, by giving all the big characters plenty of dialogue and moments to shine a little bit. The movie has some twists and turns along the way that spice things up and keep the movie interesting for both the viewers and characters, and does a nice job of tying the opening scene into the plot of the movie without it feeling too disruptive. The script and directing allow for the characters to be interesting and have some nice and funny dialogue, and also for the story of the movie to flow and develop nicely which helps to keep viewers invested in what’s happening. This time, we get to the fighting a lot sooner than we did in Godzilla, but not so soon that the movie feels like it’s entirely based on it, making this an improvement on Godzilla. Skull Island does a lot of stuff right that Godzilla also did: it has a story, a human-centric perspective and a good amount of build up to the conflict of the movie.
