I don't know what movie crows saw but the one I saw was pretty bad, IIRC it even pissed me off of how bad it was, no real characters, the closest thing to a real character is Kong himself, no human is relatable, writing is pretty bad, as much as you'd expect from a movie made for the Chinese market where the plot is barebones but they still repeat it a few times so the non-English speaking audience doesn't forget, action looked cartoony, it makes Pacific Rim look like a masterpiece.
If the director is any good, I don't think this movie is at all representative of his work since it feels like a focus group movie, the cinematography has no discernible style of its own outside the NAM NAM NAM this is NAM, which calling cliché is an understatement.
If this is a director movie, then I am very worried about the MGS movie.
Sorry to be negative about it, I only comment on it cause it's tied to the MGS movie, I honestly hope it doesn't happen, at least not with that director.
