This was not the role for Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2017)

I really enjoyed this latest addition to the Kong franchise. My only complaint, and it's a big one, was the casting of Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson.
Tom Hiddleston was just not right for this role. He wasn't convincing and I felt he struggled with his characters role. Now Samuel L. Jackson did NOT struggle with his role, but he over-played it. I mean to the point where he was annoying me. He was playing his "mfk- ing snakes on a plane" attitude and it was just waaay too much in this film. Had he toned it down a few (well, quite a few) notches, I could've put up with him. A far as I'm concerned, those two ruined this film for me.
Now Brie Larson, John C. Reilly, John Goodman and Corey Hawkins were cast perfectly, and I feel they are the ones that kept me entertained the most.
The cinematography and VFX where on point, but the writing could have been a little tighter to avoid some plot holes.
Otherwise very enjoyable and it's a 8/10 from me!
