Giving it 4/10 for the CGI only

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2017)

It seems whenever a Chinese-based production company (Tencent Pictures in this case) gets its hands on a potential Hollywood motion picture, things go for the worse. Is Hollywood that bankrupt that it needs some financial support thrown in from Asia?
The movie is a trash-fest, it would be much better if they made it into a 30-min short movie with only the Kong Vs Creature fights and cut the other BS.
The movie begins with an ecstatic adventurer luring the US Army at helping him map out a mysterious island by dropping TNT randomly across the borders without even trying to see if there's human life there.
This awakens Kong, a 100ft giant that starts swinging and hurling trees at the choppers, rather than turn back, the army defiantly try and shoot this thing using the same bullet calibre used for 6-7 Foot humans. During the silly battle, the backdrop seems to switch from Dusk/Sunset to perfectly clear daylight, this happens a number of times by the way.
The clichés start drooping out like diarrhea with Samual L Jackson at the forefront of crappy acting (seems like he's just putting his hand up for any script thrown at him). Anyway, Mr Jackson is hell-bent at killing this massive monster because "it killed his men" so he stubbornly goes against the team's pleas to stop despite the threats of even more dangerous creatures around.
I won't go in anymore detail, but the goofiest scene was when the Photographer girl tries to lift a downed chopper (you read that right) to help a dying buffalo/bison. The fact that she tried to move a Chopper with her bare hands was mind-numbing, however, she also didn't notice the 100ft ape approach to help or feel the ground shake but was surprised in awe when the chopper began to rise and realised Kong is helping.
Finally, there was a token Chinese girl in the movie who's supposed to be a biologist, she was as useful as a tree in the background, said nothing/did nothing, must have been a requirement for the funding.
