Surprisingly Good Film!!!

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2018)

So I watched Kong Skull Island strictly because I like Tom Hiddleston (I'll be honest) and I was shockingly impressed by this movie.
The writing and directions is surprisingly good, especially in the action scenes. The fights are really tangible and surprising.They some how manage hit the big cliches and also subvert them.
Tere are some big name actors and they all do a good job. Nothing earth shattering, but they do their jobs. The characters aren't that interesting and would have probably fallen flat without the actors doing all the work to carry them. But they aren't bad or anything.
The special effects look phenomenal. And the soundtrack works really well to make it feel like a war time movie. Like it has this weirdly nostalgic feel to it. Like if it wasn't for the modern special effects, I would have this weird sense memory of having watched this movie as a kid (and not just cause its a reboot).
If I had to describe it, it is like Jurassic Park meets Saving Private Ryan. Anyway, I recommend it.
