Surprisingly Good

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2017)

I was skeptical about seeing Kong: Skull Island. I thought it was going to suffer the same fate as the 2014 Godzilla movie with the stupid melodrama. This movie succeeded where Godzilla failed. It was a brutal movie about humans trying to escape a savage world of giant creatures in which they don't belong. The film had enough humour. It didn't overdo it and it wasn't trying to be too serious as some other monster movies. (Godzilla.) Overall Kong: Skull Island is a solid step forward for the MonsterVerse. I can't wait to see what comes next.
