Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L Jackson star in this movie, has to be a guarantee that this is going to be a cracking movie - how wrong can you be. On a positive note the SFX are pretty impressive if a bit stupid in places.. The story line is ridiculous. Take the stories of King Kong, Jurasic Park, 10,000 years BC and The Land that Time Forgot, throw them in a melting pot, give it a good stir and out pops this movie. Is it watchable? Just if only for the SFX. Would we watch it again, not likely but you never know.
Kong Skull Island is a monster of a movie. King Kong needs no introduction, but Skull Island adds a few good changes. For one the giant ape is about ten times as large as its 1933/76/05 versions and the movie makes sure we routinely get to observe him in all its glory. Special effects are dazzling- the scene where the mercenaries first encounter King Kong is mesmerizing, and the actors know what to expect from a film like this and go along, especially John Goodman. This is a brand-new reimagining of a story that everyone knows and yet Kong: Skull Island will leave you pleasantly surprised. All credit to the director Jordan Vogt- Roberts.
This is non stop fun & action. If your having a bad day then turn no further to Kong Skull Island
I was never a big fan of King Kong. Never saw the original and thought Peter Jackson needed to kill Kong 90 minutes earlier than he did. I did like Toho's King Kong vs Godzilla that came out in 1962, but it was mostly because I'm a HUGE Godzilla fan. That was the main reason I went to see this one...because this film leads to a crossover with Godzilla in 2020. But boy am I a Kong fan now. I loved this movie so much I went to it three times while it was in theaters, just like I did with Godzilla. Loved the cast, loved the effects, and off course loved the action! King Kong is now a character I've grown to love...but I'm still rooting for Godzilla in 2020
