Won't Work For Everyone, But Worked For Me!

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2017)

Does this movie have problems? Yes, it does. But for me, those problems didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the film. Maybe this movie will fall apart more upon a second viewing, but I had a lot of fun seeing this in IMAX 3D. I recommend definitely checking it out in that format. I went in wanting to see some awesome monster fights, good set-up for 2020's Godzilla vs. King Kong, some great visual effects, and just a fun time at the movies. And I got all of that. For people concerned about Kong in this movie... don't be. I was upset with how much screen time Godzilla got in his own movie, but Kong gets the right amount of time here. He's on just enough to satisfy fans, but is off screen enough to let other elements of the film shine. When Kong fights in this movie, it is absolutely incredible. I don't think there's anything in here that is as iconic as Kong versus the T-Rexes in King Kong, but the fights with the Skull Crawlers and the other creatures were amazing to watch. It was so fun and exhilarating. The visuals in this movie are also stunning. Sometimes, in a movie like this, they can be hit or miss, but they were brilliant here...
