Kong: Dull Island.

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2018)

Well, Kong: Skull Island is as generic as they come. It's not exciting at all, but somewhat enjoyable and competent. No twists, no turns, it is what it is, also, it's Godzilla, except Kong.
Hiddleston money shot was kind of ridiculous; him demanding Reilly's sword, then the weird and badly executed slow motion through the "toxic gas", that didn't seem all that toxic, at all... Leaving Reilly without a weapon while those pterosaur's fly all over the place. That scene was just so transparent.
Another transparent, badly executed and forgettable scene was Shea's character sacrificing himself for the group... Just to have that "skull-crawler" inexplicably hit him with its tale instead of eating him. The movie straight cut to the next scene immediately afterwards, and nobody mourned and celebrated the poor sod.
The interaction/rapport between Jason Mitchell and Shea Whigham was again so obvious in its failed attempt and Brie and Tom's chemistry was lacking.
The CGI wasn't bad, it was pretty good actually, and Skull Island (the CGI'd island itself) was quite satisfying... Though, why was there one of every animal, especially that gigantic insect with legs that look like the trees they were walking through? It was by far the most interesting threat, and when Reilly mentioned "killer ants", I thought he meant that creature, but, nothing came of that comment.
Also, Reilly said; "You don't want to be out here at night" in a very cautionary fashion, then, we never shown why the night is so dangerous.
Then the not so thrilling easter egg... Where I have a feeling Kong vs Godzilla is going to be just as dry as its origin build ups.
Oh well, like I said, generic, but somewhat enjoyable. 5.8/10.
