Kong: Skull Island.

I think you summed it up pretty well. Nothing too special. Enjoyed it though.

I thought it was fine, except for the two-legged lizards. I was worried about John C. Reilly's character from the previews, but it wasn't as over the top in context.

Considering the shared universe they are establishing, I understand what's going on with making Kong so tall, and I thought they made him just sympathetic enough for this.

The 70s vibe was a bit too cheesy, especially the SWJ photographer, but that was almost a nod to Jack's character in Kong '76 to me.

Not sure how they are going to explain hiding Kong's existence through the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s to meet up with the other "friends" he will encounter, but will see with popcorn.

Yeah...I take back the negative.

It was good.

Actually better than the Jurassic sequels and Godzilla...all of them.

Brie Larson though...loved her in Room but...this isn't her movie. It always happens though...a starlet gets recognized in an avant-garde film and then is cast in the next blockbuster.

Winter's Bone - Hunger Games - Jennifer Lawrence
Mulholland Drive - The Ring - boom blockbuster - King Kong - Naomi Watts
Room - Skull Island - Larson

I don't get it though...I like her as an actress like Room but this wasn't an acting chops movie...this was popcorn bullshite. She didn't look good in the movie at all. Don't you want to just hire some hot eye candy when 80% of the movie is CGI nonsense? If you go popcorn, go popcorn porn. Get some better looking babes in there...skimp down the outfits.

I mean Brie Larson in total talks for about 5 minutes in the entire movie. Why can't we get a model for that?

I feel like there was a ton cut out on Hiddleston's character.

And they mentioned that he's still growing. I assume that he will eventually grow to be as large as Godzilla.

If he gets as big as Godzilla then I'd think he could whip Godzilla's arse pretty good. Godzilla never seems to really know how to use his for breath.

Is this the sequel to the Peter Jackson one?

I left the theatre thinking the movie was really dumb and lacking seriousness (at least as much seriousness as a monster movie deserves), but I couldn't put my finger on exactly why I felt that way and thinking back on the movie, it wasn't bad.

Kongs size was actually one thing I liked

I've always thought the idea with kong and zilla was they're so big they seriously could give 2 shits about us so there really isn't a good or bad guy. Like we are less than ants to them. They don't care if we live or die. We're not in their food chain and they inky kill us when we annoy them like a gnat
