A good fun movie.

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2017)

Some of the reviews on here are a bit harsh. If you want academy award winning acting, great script writing and a deep plot. You don't go see a movie about a giant gorilla that's known for smashing stuff.
Normally I avoid such titles as they are all so formulated. Which this was to some extent, but they did break away from the mold a noticeable amount. Which is a big part of what made it tolerable where others are not I had fun watching this movie. I thought it was pretty well done. By far the best King Kong since the old B&W version from 1933. The CGI was mostly plausible. Only a couple of moments of broken physics. The characters where about as well developed as they needed to be. Plot was pretty hole free.
Its not 10/10 stuff, but its not trying to be either. They got this one just right.
Normally I couldn't watch something in this genre all the way to the end. Or if I did I would be heckling it from about 10 min in as that would be more entertaining than the movie. Kong was different. I actually enjoyed it. Best monster movie since the 80's
