Doesn't come close to Peter Jackson's King Kong

Rating: 4/10 (15 March 2017)

Before I watched Kong Skull island I watched Peter Jackson's King Kong to compare and to see how movies evolved. BOTH films are different, Peter Jackson version is more serious tone with tiny at the moment humour, whereas Kong Skull island is more of action comedy. I have to say it was disappointing and hard to sit through. The story was unbalance on to where these "Skull Crawlers" came from. Lack of adventure, didn't explore this new fascinating world. Lack of character development so you couldn't care less when characters died. Towards the end it went to typical Hollywood film, big explosion Michael Bay style and typical female character as a damsel in distress. The only thing that kept me watching was Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman. I've said a lot of harsh words to his film, it is entertaining with some giggles to it, but I felt it didn't need to go that direction. If the next squeal is what I think it is, I don't want to see any jokey moments when it should be a serious fight between the two kings/ gods.
