Quite entertaining but doubtful it will stand the test of time

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2017)

Kong Skull Island is enjoyable to watch. From an easy plot, interesting characters to the allure of the mighty Kong himself this film should satisfy. If you've had a long day and just want to watch a movie this would be the right choice. However it appears quite forgettable in terms of the other Kong movies and other films in general.
King Kong has been a cinematic classic for a long time. The different story line sadly was not better than the original. The ancient people who inhabit the island and live in Kong's protection pales in comparison to the classic Kong being transported to New York and climbing to a skyscraper with the female he's fallen for as he battles planes. Peter Jackson's remake and the 1933 original are better in plot. The unusual romance was so grand and remarkable to watch.
The CGI and special effects for Kong were interesting. The mythical creature closely resembled an erect male which questioned its realism. Jackson was more realistic in his portrayal of an actual beast like Kong and 1933 cannot be cited so much because special effects were limited to what they are now. In 2017 it was surprisingly unimpressive, I have a feeling that in years to come this Kong might be used as an example of how limited the effects were in the past and how far they have later come. In all these respects it definitely will be forgettable and its rating on this site might drop over time.
