The Monsterverse films as a whole have generally been solid movies. The stories weren't unique and, with the exception of the first movie, the acting and characters were pretty sub-par. However none of that really mattered.
What's made these films entertaining is the way they made you feel a sense of awe and, at times, fear of these titanic creatures doing battle. Their confrontations were epic and their motives were often strange and alien to us. Their size and otherness made (even the 'hero' Godzilla) inspired a real sense of spiritual terror.
G Vs K largely fails on that front. Yeah the fights are still somewhat epic, but it feels less like a battle between gods and more a kid smashing toys together. The attempt to make so many jokes in this film really throws off the drama for me. They're not funny, just off-putting.
