I just hope, they don't make the same mistake they made with Godzilla....Kong needs more screen time and more action needs to happen during day time...

 

In the Entertainment Weekly interview, Jordan Vogt-Roberts said he wasn't a fan of the "hide the monster" trick. At least, not for 40+ minutes. While I don't expect more than 15 minutes of screen time for Kong (because let's face it--this almost never happens in a lot of films), I'm pretty sure a good deal of action will take place during the day.

The mistake was rather not making the human part interesting. Hopefully, they do that here.

Like JW ?? That film found perfect balance sans cliches..    

 

In a big budget monster film, the main focus should be the fucking monster.

For crying out loud, we only got to see Godzilla for around 8 mins scattered across, in a film titled GODZILLA. 

That screentime is acceptable for small budgted films like Cloverfield that simply cannot afford.

Yeah, I don't get this. the main focus of any monster movie has never been the monster, but the people. How people deal with the monster. The original King Kong isn't about Kong, he doesn't appear for the first 47 minutes. The movie isn't about Kong, it's about Ann Darrow, Carl Denham, and Jack Driscoll.

 

The best Godzilla movies aren't about Godzilla, Godzilla is a part, but he isn't the focus. The focus is on the people, and how they deal with the impending monster.

Fun Fact: Godzilla in GODZILLA (2014), appears more often than Godzilla in 9 other films. Gojira appears roughly a full minute less in a film titled GOJIRA.

 

It's a lesson in titular character does not mean main character.
