Great sci-fi movie; Kong is magnificent.

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2017)

What a great movie. Action packed, wonderful acting, tremendous story, fantastic special effects. Instead of being a re-tread of the classic Kong story, it is an original take, with a new plot that fully engages the audience. From start to finish this movie warrants only superlatives. Samuel L. Jackson does some of his best acting in this movie and the rest of the cast provides equally strong performances too. Yet the real star of this movie the c-g of Kong. Kong is what makes this movie happens, Kong is strong, brave and dignified. On the island Kong is a god and a protector. In fact, the special effects department deserves praise for their work in putting together this movie. None of the special effects are gratuitous. Every scene adds to the story's suspense. This is a great movie, definitely worth watching.
