Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017) by Acacia — 18 Mar 2017

I was very disappointed in this remake of the King Kong saga. While some aspects of the movie were enjoyable, its emphasis on war and war-like behavior by Samuel L. Jackson's character were too much of a departure from the adventure of being on Kong Island.

I did not enjoy seeing areas of jungle being blown up constantly and, for me, this detracted greatly from the whole movie. Visiting Kong Island should have been about the adventure and the idea of seeing things you haven't seen before.

Even if they are scary. It seemed a bit mean-spirited and although some of the other parts of the story were fun to watch, it basically took over the movie for me.
