An Honest Review

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2017)

Let's be honest, It wasn't as great as people are saying...but it's not bad either.
With the Peter Jackson remake you expected to see Kong smashing things and tearing the city apart and...and you sort of got a movie that was trying to be epic and wonderful and maybe even Oscar bait and it really just put you to sleep.
In this Kong you expect to see Kong smashing things and...that is exactly what you get.
Who said: "Find out what the audience wants and give it to them?" Who cares, Kong followed that rule fairly well.
But it's not a great movie. It is lacking in a lot that would make it really entertaining. It's certainly a popcorn muncher...but it's one without actual heart. No actual characters to get attached to and follow. Only so-so humor.
Really you get to see Kong smash and that is what you paid for...but it needs a little more than that to be entertaining. Even watching Kong on the big screen gets dull after a few minutes when you realize there isn't much of a story.
