Ummm....That was....ummmm

Rating: 3/10 (20 January 2018)

Well what a two hours this film was. Two hours spent with characters that, by the end of the film, I knew no more than I learned when they were first introduced, but I'd already forgotten their names.
There was a British guy who, umm, had some experience somewhere? (James), an idiot who's obsessed with war and there purely so there'd be some conflict in the film (Preston), Brie Larson from Room (Mason), weird Santa Claus (Marlow) and an annoying teenager that needs babysitting the entire movie (still don't know his name).
The majority of time I spent watching this movie I was frustrated at the characters. The worst was when we were shown that one of the soldiers (don't know his name) was eaten by one of the monsters. We were then shown the war obsessed character claiming that they had to go on a suicide mission to rescue him, either trying to act noble but failing, or it was the writer's horrible choice of conflict. We, the audience would then be frustrated by them risking everything in order to, 'save' some soldier (who's name I DON'T know) that we already know is dead. Then, when they tell Preston that the soldier is actually dead, he continues to insist that they go anyway, probably purely to annoy me.
Preston then has to kill Kong because, ummm, the soldiers invaded his land, started attacking him, and Kong ended up killing some soldiers in self defense? What a biggot. Long story short, King Kong ends up saving Brie Larson just because she, ummm, did something? I say he should have killed all the humans because they are the ones who disrupted the somewhat peaceful state of the land he was on by blowing stuff up and nearly burning him to death.
Anyway, I hope I didn't ramble too much and that you actually understood what I was saying. I didn't like the film, but hey, if you ever want a brain exercise, try watching the film and see if you can remember all the character's names! I bet you won't!
