A entertaining dumb monster movie, like it should be

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2017)

King Kong has more or less always been about a big monster ape who smashes things. However, this years Kong: Skull Island is so much overkill on that genre it's almost funny. Peter Jackson had a reasonably sized ape in the early 2000's KING KONG. This Kong is literally the size of the empire state building. It can palm throw a black hawk helicopter like a Hot Wheel. Does it make for great entertainment? Absolutely! If you want something that is similar to the newest Godzilla, some monster on monster fights, this is the movie for you. If you enjoyed the bit in Forest Gump where he goes to war in Vietnam, you'll feel right at home. Not much substance for thought, but a very good monster type adventure movie.
