QueenT_73551 I wanted to like this. I really did. I love all the actors. I love the Kong story. I love CGI and motion capture animals. This had all the elements that should have made for an incredibly entertaining film. But I was bored throughout.

v-ley If I had to see Samuel's face any more, I'd punch my TV screen. I love this guy but this movie was just so awful. Why do actors agree to something BEFORE seeing a script? If anyone had read an actual script I doubt this would have seen the light of day. Please, please don't waste your money or your time, anywhere.

kbatch-14829 So I watched Kong Skull Island strictly because I like Tom Hiddleston (I'll be honest) and I was shockingly impressed by this movie.The writing and directions is surprisingly good, especially in the action scenes. The fights are really tangible and surprising.They some how manage hit the big cliches and also subvert them. Tere are some big name actors and they all do a good job. Nothing earth shattering, but they do their jobs. The characters aren't that interesting and would have probably fallen flat without the actors doing all the work to carry them. But they aren't bad or anything.The special effects look phenomenal. And the soundtrack works really well to make it feel like a war time movie. Like it has this weirdly nostalgic feel to it. Like if it wasn't for the modern special effects, I would have this weird sense memory of having watched this movie as a kid (and not just cause its a reboot).If I had to describe it, it is like Jurassic Park meets Saving Private Ryan. Anyway, I recommend it.

stockjacob First off.....the cinematography was fantastic. The visuals are second to none. It's a beautiful movie from start to finish. Also has a great soundtrack. Acting is great. Casting is great (love Cordero being in there). What else needs to be said? It's a fun action movie. If you expected something better.....Downtown Abbey is probably available on demand.
