Kong: Suicidal Island

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2017)

IMHO, if Hollywood if going to invest in a cast that consists of John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly, and Loki, why not invest in some GOOD WRITING? Hmmm?
Skull Island is supposed to be a dangerous place, but 90% of the deaths in this movie were based on asinine decisions. When 14 military helicopters engage Kong, instead of acting like Kamikaze pilots, why didn't they retreat to a better tactical position? I can see a few getting destroyed... but ALL of them? Makes no sense.
Later... after Hank Marlow, a WWII fighter pilot stranded on the island for over 20 years (played by John C. Reilly -- who does provide comedic relief), warns everyone NOT to enter the skull creature graveyard, they ALL do anyway. And guess what? Surprise surprise! More suicide via stupidity!
While Kong looked good, and the vicious tall spider and pterodactyl scenes made the movie tolerable, scenes like Brie Larson's anti-war reporter out Rambo(ing) the soldiers made it laughable overall.
I do not see how Kong: Suicidal Island deserves more than a four.
