Classic monster movie!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2017)

Kong: Skull Island is a 2017 American monster film; let's be clear this isn't Shakespeare and unlike the dreadful 2014 Godzilla the film doesn't take itself too seriously. The film has the feel of a classic 90s Blockbuster; now depending on your view of 90s Blockbusters this is either a good thing or a bad thing. The film is a rip roaring, funny and fast paced monster movie where the monster gets the same amount of screen time as the rest of the cast. Although this is the cast; Tom Hiddleston as James Conrad, Samuel L. Jackson as Preston Packard, John Goodman as William "Bill" Randa, Brie Larson as Mason Weaver, Jing Tian as San Lin, Toby Kebbell as Jack Chapman, John Ortiz as Victor Nieves, Corey Hawkins as Houston Brooks, Jason Mitchell as Glenn Mills, Shea Whigham as Earl Cole, Thomas Mann as Reg Slivko, Eugene Cordero as Reles and John C. Reilly as Hank Marlow. 13 main cast members all vying for 118 minutes worth of screen time.
