Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017) by Spike M — 04 Apr 2017
My wife and I thought Kong was just awful. Why would you hire a cadaver like John Goodman ? A lot of the acting was amateurish. John Reilly with his very weak voice. SFX naturally were good. But NO suspense on the appearance of Kong.
He was just there: seen thru a chopper. What was with the whole Vietnam era experience ??? Was it to get baby boomer vets to view ? It was the script that was the crowning folly. What a horrible stupid story.
So they tied in the USA's failure in Vietnam thru Jackson's military character so that we were going BACK after Kong...because we didn't want to "lose" again. Oh puhleeze !! We both agreed it was like taking $AUD20 and tossing it off the back verandah into a strong wind.
What a joke of a movie.
