Releasing earlier this year, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire failed to revolutionize filmmaking, but among even its most negative reviews, critics seemed to agree on one thing: the film made the right choice by focusing on the monsters rather than the human characters.
After all, I may love Dan Stevens. You may love Dan Stevens. But I’m willing to bet neither of us would enter the theater playing a MonsterVerse movie saying to our friends, “Man, I can’t wait to see Dan Stevens.”
My favorite MonsterVerse movie is Kong: Skull Island. Guess what? If someone asks me my opinion of Kong: Skull Island, I’m not going to start with, “Well, first of all, I thought Tom Hiddleston was very nuanced while embodying—” No.
My first words will be about the giant ape fighting the helicopters or the giant ape fighting the reptilian monsters—it will include the giant ape. The word “nuance” will not be within a thousand miles of my thoughts.
This is what the makers of the old AVP movies, and any future AVP movies, should learn from the MonsterVerse.
