Heart of Kongness

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2017)

"Kong: Skull Island" shoots for the unusual goal of both addressing the Vietnam War and being a sci-fi/action flick. If you watch it expecting mainly brain candy then you won't be disappointed. As is usually the case with these sorts of movies, there's no real character development so you end up wanting more of the monsters.
Since Samuel L. Jackson is one of the cast members, you might be wondering if he uses the word that we expect him to use in every movie. The answer is that he almost does but gets interrupted. They probably avoided using the whole word so that the movie wouldn't get restricted. Real pity, since his usage of the word makes life worth living.
In the end, the movie was what I expected. Nothing special at all, but passable if you're in the mood for brainless fun.
