Best Kong Movie Ever

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2017)

I saw "Kong:Skull Island", starring Tom Hiddleston-Loki in the Thor movies, I saw the Light; Samuel L. Jackson-The XXX movies, Star Wars:Episode 3_Revenge of the Sith; Brie Larson-Trainwreck, 13 Going on 30, Oh yeah, she is going to play Captain Marvel in 2019; John Goodman- Patriots Day, Evan Almighty and John C. Reilly-Guardians of the Galaxy.
This is a reboot of the King Kong franchise and I think it's the best King Kong movie ever. The original one was in 1933, then they had a remake in 1976 and another in 2005. I have heard that the 2014 Godzilla was the beginning of a resurgence, with Godzilla:King of the Monsters in 2019 being the next one and then Godzilla vs King Kong in 2020. Anyway, this one is different from previous Kong movies-it takes place solely on Skull Island, with no New York skyscrapers in sight. It starts in 1944 with two pilots crash landing on an island-guess where? Then things shift to 1973, during the Vietnam war. John is a scientist getting a team together to explore an uncharted island in the Pacific-it's kind of like a Bermuda Triangle type area, where planes and ships have disappeared. Tom is hired as tracker and Brie is the journalist along to photograph their discoveries. Samuel is a colonel in the Army that is in charge of security. When they arrive on the island, they come across all sorts of giant behemoths; lizard type creatures, spiders, birds and even Kong, who fights some of them in glorious battles. You also find John, who was one of those pilots from 1944 that crashed on the island. You will also see Kong's parents. The fights and effects are fantastic. The music is pretty good, too, if you like rock. I remember hearing Jefferson Airplane, CCR, The Stooges, The Hollies and Black Sabbath, just to name a few. Make sure you stay until after the end credits because there is a scene and it has some bearing on future movies. It's rated "PG-13" for sci-fi violence and action and some language and has a running time of 2 hours. Like I said earlier, I think this is the best King Kong movie I've ever seen and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
