I think the critics forgot how to sit down and enjoy an awsome monster movie. It was way more entertaining than the first plus you get to see more monsters more often. I see way to much nitpicking over nothing, like theyre taking the film thats fictional way too seriously. Cmon guys, its a movie about colossal monsters fighting thats the main event i wanted to see in the 1st movie. Its front and center in this film. 10/10 would recommend. Fun, entertaining popcorn film.
