Kong:Skull island,clear title delivers what it promises.

Rating: 7/10 (8 April 2017)

I found Kong to be great in this movie and Skull Island was an interesting and beautiful place where Kong is king and they don't shy away of showing him in full glory and very early on in the film. The first action scene with Kong kind of surprised me because of the intensity of some shock effects (and this is rated 12 and up) of people falling and body's smashing into helicopter blades. All the action with Kong felt exciting and really added to the layers his character goes thru in this movie from presumed bad guy to a godlike savior for the islands inhabitants against even greater foe's that lurk on the island.
I've heard a lot about the actors and the lack of depth in there character in this movie but I never felt annoyed by their performance and took it more as characters on a comic book level so maybe a little exaggerated. Also the movie feels like it is playing with comic book rules in terms of people dying and even more so people surviving the impossible.
Now for the real kicker as much as I like this movie I really got a problem with where this is going. I did not like Godzilla,he was portrayed weak in that movie especially anything action related that I don't see how they gonna rime that version with what we got now with Kong Skull Island.
Also the end credit scene was one of the cheesiest ever and makes me fear the worst with where they're going with this franchise. If they don't connect the dots well I might choose to not go see the next one. This popcorn Kong movie would have been better as a standalone and not trying so hard to build a franchise on a somewhat shaky premise that could land either way.
This was set up as an action/adventure movie and I found it entertaining as such, it has some realistic and comedic notes that feel odd in the movie and that somewhat diminished the entertainment value but not in any way to tip the scale negatively.
Also a movie I can see more than once and I recommend you at least go see it once if your into creature features or monster movies.
Enjoy!
