What did people expect?

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2017)

Just got back from seeing this at the cinema, to be fair its only a 6 or 7 out of 10 movie, I only gave it 10 to balance out some of the idiotic reviews on here, 1 out of 10? No way, somebody said they even walked out after an hour, why? It was a King Kong monster movie, made specifically to tie him in to the Godzilla franchise, I don't know what some people were expecting to see. I wasn't expecting a script on a par with The Godfather or acting that wouldn't be out of place in a serious Oscar contender, I was expecting Kong and some other big monsters to fight it out in a totally unrealistic way while an annoying human subplot got in the way for the best part of 2 hours, as is standard practice in good old monsters movies going back to the original Kong via many a Godzilla flick and all the many rip offs in between.
Bottom line is is it as good as the original 1933 film? No, it isn't. Is it as good as the 1970s remake? Yes, it's probably a bit better. Is it as good as Peter Jacksons version? Seeing as how it isn't 3 hours long and as boring as watching paint dry I'd say its a good deal better. Bring on the next Godzilla film so we can get more of the original Toho monsters in on the action before the big two square off!
