Highly visual and fun adventure.

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2019)

I am truly puzzled as to why this film got such bad reviews. Because of them I avoided it, but a day on the couch with a virus led me to give it a go, and I'm glad I did - it's fun and entertaining.
The photography and vfx truly stunning. The story is what you'd expect from a Kong film with a lot of the usual Kong clichÃ©s, but it wouldn't be a Kong film without them.
It has a very contemporary message about the the insanity of the conflict between humanity and nature,to whom the earth really belongs.
Kong himself is magnificent, and the film style is something like a cross between Jurassic Park and the early Tomb Raider games. It is far better than the 2005 Peter Jackson version.
Oh, and keep watching until the end of the credits - in just saying...
