The eponymous gorilla is oversized yet underused, less an actual character and more a wasted opportunity.

Rating: 5/10 (20 February 2018)

At the end of it all you're left with a film in which the eponymous gorilla is oversized yet underused, less an actual character and more a wasted opportunity. His lack of screen-time is matched only by his lack of any trait even close to animalistic. The humans we are instead saddled with are contrived and one-note, leading to a film almost less entertaining than the first boat-bound hour of Peter Jackson's more traditional 2005 attempt and seemingly longer than the whole three-hour affair. 5/10
