Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017) by Greg C — 15 Apr 2017
Much better than expected, Kong's special effects meld well with the surprise storyline. I'm someone that has watched monster movies since the '70s. This could be the best. Samuel L. gives a peak performance.
John C. Reilly balances Jackson's bravado with the right mix of goofy & genteel. Brie Larson plays "the girl" role here, but it's an atypical twist filling Kong's fist. Rounding out the ensemble are John Goodman and Tom Hiddleston.
My son cheered for Loki as Mr. Hiddleston kicked some butt as the British-Special-Forces-Pathfinder. If you're looking for a couple hours of excapist, monster-mash entertainment, this is your movie.
