The thing about Kong movies so far is that you either feel for Kong or the humans but this time I felt for both equally. The human characters are likable as heck, you just want most of them to survive. At the same time Kong is also likable because even though he doesn't speak you can really get his situation and either feel sorry for him or totally comprehend his nature. It touches a bit on Kong's backstory and it really builds up to a whole new world of extraordinary things while keeping you entertained with action, humor and intrigue. Nothing feels forced. I feared John C. Reilly would be too "him" but he's actually one of the characters I like the most. And even though they take time to build up chemistry and relationships it doesn't feel like it drags. Oh and when it's time to throw down they THROW DOWN!!!
