All Hail the King !!

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2017)

An absolute blast of a monster mayhem flick! Unlike Gareth Edwards' GODZILLA (2014), liked the way this time they made it sure of nobody can complain on Kong or any other monster's lack of screen presence time. A must see & quite a perfect entertaining flick for monster movie lovers. I understand how or why some of the critics are complaining on cheesy dialog & lack of character development parts of the film but to me, those issues were nicely compensated by releasing one after another vicious, weird & interesting massive creatures on screen along through the "survey job" turned survival journey of an expedition team on Skull Island. Moreover, this time it isn't that tragic 'The Beauty & the Beast' tale of a colossal ape who all just wanted to have a long date with his woman of love but ended up falling down dead from the Empire State Building. This Kong is quite an angry young lad who's damn serious about protecting his territory and its all helpless inhabitants & creatures from anything that's threatening his kingdom. The epic final battle was a treat to watch & will be remain as something to highly regard & talked about for the monster lovers for a long time. My only complaint is that they really did showed too much (almost all the creatures) on those countless clips & trailers before the release that left little amount of surprise in terms of newly introduced M.U.T.Os for 'MonsterVerse'.
