Godzilla 2014 had a great 'human perspective' on the Kaiju. Like natural disasters. And though it's plot was pretty weak as well, it managed to have decent human characters. What it was missing was a bit more monster action.
KotM has some nice nods to the japanese Godzilla series, the twins being one of them, but it lacks in human characters in so many ways. At the same time, all those Kaiju fights are great.
So far, to me, Skull Island was the best overall Monsterverse experience. Visually great, good action, way better human element than in KotM. Still had lots of fun watching Godzilla 2, but i can't shake the feeling it could've been way better and effectively wasted potential.
