"Skull Island" Exceeded My Expectations

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2017)

"Kong: Skull Island" is a straight up old school action adventure, war film, and monster movie all wrapped into one. With all of the star- power (Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and the ultimate scene-stealer John C. Reilly) it's no wonder this is just part one in a new franchise that will eventually lead to a match up between Kong and Godzilla. **Spoiler Alert** Don't miss the extra scene after the credits!! But before we get there, we have a well-crafted story that's nothing like the previous remakes. The special effects were outstanding and the action scenes were spectacular. I will admit, I liked this movie a lot better than I expected to. I look forward to seeing the next chapter.
