Humans in this film just served to move the plot and it was perfectly fine. The previous 2 films had bullshit family drama. In Godzilla vs Kong, the humans had small-scale sets and scenes just to advance the plot. Left the large scale for the monsters.

I am pretty much on this opinion.  The human scenes did exactly what they were designed to do which is move the story points along.  Its was the backdrop to the main characters which was Kong and Godzilla.  I thought the human scenes were fine and to be honest after watching many kaiju movies since the first one when I was a child, pretty much stayed to canon.  While KOTM is still my favorite, this movie was still a good addition to the arch and keeps me interested to see what they do next. 

Spoiler!
Hell, I was all for Godzilla to be crowed the Champion but they actually made we feel that if Kong got the win, I would have been ok.  The battles I felt were definitely better done in this movie than KOTM and showed the strength of both Godzilla and Kong.  

I would say this movie did a good job with both Kong and Godzilla as far as personalities wise but they probably could have dedicated a few more scenes to develop Godzilla.  You feel in this movie you get a better understanding of Kong and Godzilla has that big brother I can still kick your ass mentality.

Now all we need is to bring Pacific Rim and this monster movie arch into the same universe for some Mech, Kaiju action.
