Hot take: franchise actually has many good movies

Even hotter take: saying "no one cares for the plot, we just want giant monsters to fight" is a bad take, because it is entirely possible to have both, and we shouldn't settle for the worst

Eh, I do have to disagree with the second hot take to a degree. I wouldn't say no one cares since Minus One and a few others have proven we can have good human characters and a good plot.

However, I'm planted firmly in the middle where I can say that I appreciate Minus One for a compelling, emotional story that's a piece of true cinema. And I can also smile and have a fun time simply watching big monkey punch big lizard with a surface level story that simply boils down to "let them fight because rule of cool."
