First half is a lot to slog through because they went back to the Godzilla format of humans that exist solely as archetypes for exposition, but the second half brings enough of Skull Island's why the fuck not attitude to mostly salvage it.

Take away the Spy Kids portion of this, drop the other little girl (and one of either Skarsgaard or Hall, don't really care who) and I probably come away loving this. I bet 11 year old me is out there begging to watch this movie over and over.
