Not Bad for a reboot...

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2017)

Don't believe all the negative hype/reviews...I almost did. Surprisingly, this re-make has it's own plot. Happy to see Hollywood cut back on the "beauty killed the beast" concept and trying to make a Monster Movie caught up in a romance/love story.
Obviously, the military angle had glitches but considering the timeframe was close to Vietnam, maybe the battle strategies weren't robust. Plus the military leader had an ego issue which could be par for the times? Finally, Kong had more action scenes then the humans which is a big plus for me! Can see a sequel (Return to Skull Island" happening and I wouldn't discourage.
Enjoy it for what it is.
