An Entertaining, Fun Popcorn Movie

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2020)

Lighten up guys! Of course this movie isn't a serious drama and has some flaws, but I found it fun and entertaining nonetheless. It's not as bad as it is made out to be. Sure like all movies of this genre you have to turn off your brain and suspend all disbelief, but isn't that why we go to the movies in the first place? To escape reality? Like I said, I found this movie fun, entertaining, and a fast-paced ride. The cast was good and played their roles adequately. I also enjoyed some of the humor to the movie as well. Though, I have to admit I would like to see more of Tom Hiddleston's and Brie Larson's characters. Hopefully they are in a sequel. I thought the film made Kong out to be more of a protective guardian type which was alright with me. I liked to see a few more of the secondary character live. But, all in all, I enjoyed it. I guess if I had a complaint it would have been the lack of other prehistoric monsters in it. But, otherwise this is pure mindless, entertaining fun and should be viewed as such. Is it perfect no, but it is entertaining. The last time I listened to a critic about a movie I was bored out of my mind. So, if you want serious, critically acclaimed drama, this is not for you. But if you just want pure, dumb fun and action, this will fit the bill nicely.
