A frustrating cliche with no charm, thoughtfulness, or talent.

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2018)

One of the worst movies I've seen in an extremely long time.
Kong: Skull Island, unashamedly flogs the dusty bones of a cliche horse that died 40 years ago.
It's a film which annoyingly includes all of the cliche cinema tropes - yet fails spectacularly on every level. The weak attempt at comedy falls dead on the ground, and the acceptable CGI simply can't redeem the obscenely bad script, acting, or internal logic. Everything in this film was a horrific cliche, from the dialogue, to the camera direction, to the Asian character whose main presence seemed to be cut from the film.
If watching giant creatures do battle is your thing, then the now 5 year old Pacific Rim is infinitely better.
Acting: 1/10
