The key to a great monster movie is
having the right balance (and right kind) of character development

glimpses and teases about the true form of the monster; when the
climax arrives and Godzilla’s power is fully displayed, it does so
in a very satisfying and awesome manner.
Unfortunately, Kong: Skull Island does
only half of that.
