Big ape with a big heart.

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2017)

You know what you are getting into by the title. So if King Kong taking on nasty animals in jungle Isn't of interest stay away.
The movie has a very well paced beginning. Things slow down at Skull Island and thankfully nobody decides Kong would do better ice skating in New York.
The cast is serviceable and it is hard to compete with the big ape. Things pick up when John C. Reilly is on screen. The locations look good, the CGI animals are nothing special.
The movie looks good on the big screen and should be seen in a theater with good sound. There is an after credit sequence that isn't worth the wait through the lengthy credits. Basically some talking sets up a possible sequel. Do we need another Kong movie?
