Hoping, obviously, for 10x the action of Godzilla 2014...

Considering that there is a 5-year gap between the Godzilla films in this franchise, and the last one was roundly looked down upon as being too skimpy with Godzilla himself, it only makes sense to show a ****-ton of Kong and plenty of DAYTIME action. Especially since Kong isn't scheduled to appear in another movie until 2020, or whenever Kong vs Godzilla comes out.

Hoping the makers of this one learn from the mistakes of Godzilla 2014.

To be fair, there were several Showa Godzilla features where his screen time was even less than GODZILLA 2014. The 1954 movie, is a good example. That Godzilla actually had a lower amount of minutes on screen than Gareth Edwards' movie.

I do have a feeling we will see a lot more of Kong here, and a lot more monster mayhem. I truly hope however, that they won't over compensate. Too much action and not enough meat on the story, will result in a TRANSFORMERS-like movie.

Yea I'd like there to be an even mix of suspense plus action.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
