This film is AWESOME!

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2017)

Ever since the first King Kong debuted in 1933 I have not enjoyed any of the remakes. I am not even a fan of the Godzilla flicks or the Cloverfield type characters. But I do enjoy great special effects and a good unique storyline which you will find in this Kong. First, let's get something out of the way and here is my biggest spoiler. They DO NOT capture Kong and bind him in chains and take him back to New York to be put on display and climb the Empire State Building so he can be killed. Nothing like that and I was extremely appreciative of that. And the whole beauty and the beast thing played a very small part in the movie. All the actors played their parts very well and were all believable. I only found that Samual Jackson's character at the very end got a little ridiculous but it was over quickly. Action was the key component for this film, and it almost became exhausting. Every time the action dies down and the actors breathed a sigh of relief, whamo, here came another challenge in the way of huge creatures that wanted nothing less than to kill everything that moved. Set in the 1960's, at the end of the Vietnam War, the soundtrack was intense as were the songs of that era. So if you enjoy lots of explosions and shooting and understood that NO ONE was safe from being eaten by some nasty creature, then you will have a blast.
