Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017) by Larry C — 27 Nov 2017
What a waste of 2 hours although at least I waited until it was free on HBO rather than pay anything for it. Full of tropey plot lines, head-scratching moments (i.e. people in a boat trying to escape monsters to get to safety but they're blasting Creedence from the PT boat because, you know, its a 70s movie and you have to do that to establish the time period, right?) and characters I didn't care about.
this movie is basically Sam Jackson being Sam Jackson and is all style and little to no substance although somehow the CGI was noticeably worse in this than in the 2005 Peter Jackson movie who history will be much kinder too in my opinion.
Other than that I have no strong opinions on this movie.
