Despite all the hate, Kong: Skull Island was brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2017)

Going into this movie I had pretty high expectations. These expectations were easily surpassed. I fell in love with the film and the cast. John C. Reilly was easily the best character in the production, his story arc and acting were superb. Brie Larson was wonderful playing her role as Mason Weaver. I don't know what it was but I really really liked her in this movie. Tom Hiddleston was great as well, acting as the lead "badass" in the movie. John Goodman, Corey Hawkins were decent as well. I am not blind to the flaws of this movie though. Samuel L. was a character I did not enjoy at all as the film progressed. His character made a lot of stupid decisions that you could not ignore (attacking kong multiple times, not giving up on trying to kill kong, using all the choppers to try to destroy kong). There also wasn't a lot of character development in the movie aside from John C. Reilly's character. Even with these flaws I still fell in love with the film and I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the lovely Brie Larson, or the badass Tom Hiddleston, the really likable John Reilly or just the visual effects of the film. But I definitely give it a 10/10.
