DO they "hide" Kong, much like they did Godzilla?

DO they "hide" Kong, much like they did Godzilla? No, Kong is featured in glorious detail in both the second and third acts. I did like Godzilla but I admit the movie had major problems. This film rights many of the wrongs; though while there are incredible action sequences and monster-on-monster battles, nothing quite compares to Godzilla throat-fucking the MUTO with his atomic breath.

Good. Godzilla was a bit frustrating to watch. Thanks

I just have 2 Questions for you!
1. How many survivors are there at the end ? (can you just give me a number ?)
2. Is it true that Samuel L. Jackson's character is the Main 'Human' Villain in this Movie ?

Jackson's character is the Main 'Human' Villain in this Movie ? 1. Off the top of my head, about 7. 2. Yeah he's pretty much the archetypal "I'm gonna get that sonofabitch" angry military guy who wants Kong dead and won't listen to reason.

1) Does Godzilla make an appearance at any point?
2) How many monster battles would you say there are?
3) Does Brie Larson form a kinship with Kong?
4) What does MONARCH do at the end with the island?
5) If we were discussing this on IMDB, how would you rate it?

In cave paintings in the post-credit scene 2. Kong fights a giant squid in the second act and a giant Skullcrawler in the climax. There are plenty of smaller monster vs. human fights as well. 3. Yes, it does the usual slowly-reach-out-and-touch-his-face thing while she's on the edge of a cliff, then he saves her during the final fight. 4. Nothing, though the post-credit scene has Monarch letting Hiddleston and Larson's characters in on the existence of the Toho monsters. 5. 9/10

1) Did you notice any scenes or shots that were in the trailers/tv spots missing from the film?
2) How was the acting and dialogue?
3) How fleshed out were the side characters? Were any memorable? (eg the soldiers)
4) I see you'd give the movie a 9/10- what would you give Jurassic World and Godzilla 2014 on that same scale?

I haven't seen any of the tv spots. 2. It's not a Sorkin script by any means, but it's fine. Acting was solid from everyone (as is to be expected from this cast). 3. All the side characters were recognizable and memorable, with clear relationships to each other - I especially liked the friendship between Shea Whigham and Jason Mitchell's characters. Though it was easy to pick out the "redshirts" by the soldiers with no dialogue. 4. Jurassic World I gave a 4/10 and Godzilla a 7/10.

It was either a blink-or-you'll-miss-it cameo, or he wasn't in it at all. 2. No. 3. Yes. 4. Yes. 5. Yes.

It's reassuring to see your ratings for JW and Godzilla are identical to mine, hopefully I can give Kong a 9/10 too!

Would you say that the action is more in line with Jurassic Park (fun and thrilling) or Godzilla (epic and dark)?
