A complete mess.

Rating: 3/10 (20 April 2017)

Kong: Skull Island A failed matinée. A botched blockbuster. Basically? It's gorilla poop.
But why? Well. Imagine that you are a teacher. You're giving your class of 12 year olds a home assignment, to write an "adventurous story". And once the sugar high kids turn in their papers, you take one of the most hilariously bad ones, and send it, just for sh*ts and giggles, to Hollywood.
...and to your shock and amazement- they make a freaking movie out of it. That is Kong:Skull Island. That's what it feels like.
The story is so all over the place. Most of the action scenes look cool. But over all, the film is weighed down by actors standing in front of an unusually bad and apparent green screen. Most of those bad green screen scenes feels very much like hastily added re shoots.
Remember Suicide Squad? This movie suffers from the same problems. They talk about the hollow earth in the movie. Where the great ancient beasts resides. Well. That's kinda symptomatic for the script. So much surface, covering a vast abyss of nothingness.
Actually though. I get what they were aiming for. An entertaining matinée for the family. But at times it's way to gory and graphic for that. I honestly zoned out, watching it, at times. Because it was like listening to the incoherent story from an Adhd kid yelling some lengthy story about how he totally owned like 500 bullies, that came at him with laser rifles in the schools cafeteria.
Verdict: In true McDonald's fashion - in order to please *everyone* it instead ends up tasting like sh*t to *everyone*. 👍 One thumb up- for some cool looking scenes with Kong going ape.
