A bit unrealistic...

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2017)

So for me, this movie is one that I can't give ALL my respect to. Not only am I a Paleontologist, I'm also a science fiction lover. If we are looking at the same Kong that we have seen in various other films, I think my question is the same posed as many others...how is he so impossibly huge all of a sudden? He went from being 25 or 30 feet tall to almost 500 feet? What in the world? Also the creature designs were interesting and I really liked them! But they seemed to be a bit out of place for this film. They would have made more sense if they were on an alien planet, and it kinda irritates me that John Goodman refers to them as "ancient species". Now one thing I really did enjoy was the aboriginal skull islanders, their designs for war paint and garb were very creative. Their communication without language gave the film a bit of a spice up in its uniqueness. So overall, the film was pretty great, I just don't feel like it can be connected to any type of King Kong prequels, and just kinda seems to have appeared out of thin air. I really liked it, but its underlying senses were a bit disappointing.
