Chaos Walking manages to overcome its flaws, due to its originality and strong chemistry between Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley.
The story line was very original. While it started out very slow, the movie picked up once Viola arrived. The direction by Doug Liman was excellent as well.
The visual effects in the movie were outstanding, as were the action scenes, even though there weren't that many. My problems with this movie were the pacing, and lack of action scenes. The water fight showed why they should have had more action scenes, as the director is excellent at filming them.
The acting was outstanding. Daisy Ridley showed that she can hold her own, and that she doesn't need Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Ian Mcdiarmid to back her up. Her presence, in my opinion, really helped Tom Holland, and it also keeps showing me that Tom Holland cannot hold his own, and that he still has a long ways to go, before he can reach that level.
I hope for a sequel, but due to the response, and the box office numbers, it will not happen. While I wouldn't mind a tv show, or an animated movie, the problem is that Daisy Ridley will probably not return, and she was too perfect for this role.

While not the best in the series, it is an easy improvement over Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
The story line was decent at best. You kind of had a feeling of what would and might happen, but I still loved the lore in this movie. The direction in this movie was solid as well.
The visual effects and action scenes are what I came for, and they did not disappoint at all. I was so much more impressed with these action scenes, than I was for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, due to the fact that they were fast paced, and not slow motion. The musical score was great as well.
The characterization sucked, but that was what I was expecting. I do not blame the actors though, they did the best with what they had to work with. Millie Bobby Brown and Alexander Skarsgard showed that they can make the most with what they have to work with.
Kong Skull Island is still my favorite movie in the series, but this was still an entertaining movie.
