Not as clever as a signing gorilla but very entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2019)

This starts off with opposing World War 2 airmen having a fight on a deserted Pacific island.
What leaps out straight away is that apparently our Japanese pilot was flying around in his single seat fighter with a goddamn samurai sword strapped to his belt.
This is a blatant telegraph from the director to say "this film is dumb. If you want clever this isn't it! Go away!"
Once you are on board the train of stupidity you can sit back and relax.
Flash forward to the early 1970's
For some dumb reason a bunch of dumb arse U.S soldiers are diverted from the Vietnam evacuation to take some equally dumb scientists and boffins to what is clearly Death-Trap island.
Once on Murder-Island we are treated to monsters and helicopter fights and giant insects and raging storms and of course a very big monkey.
The scenes and characters are big and brash and dumb and so very enjoyable.
The story is too moronic for me to repeat - but in a good way.
This is quite graphic in places and squeamish children may get nightmares.
Apart from that just lock and load and watch a bunch of dumb-dumbs get their arses handed to them.
Stick around for the obligatory after credits scene.
