Kong: Skull Island
The most exciting aspect of finding a giant monkey is all the cosmetic testing you can conduct on it.
Fortunately, the simian in this adventure picture isn't wearing any mascara yet.
Dispatched by the military to map out Skull Island, Lt. Colonel Packard (Samuel L. Jackson), a mercenary tracker (Tom Hiddleston), a photojournalist (Brie Larson) and a government official (John Goodman) arrive to find a 50-foot gorilla protecting the natives from subterranean creatures that roam the atoll.
Conflict erupts when half of the party wants to kill Kong and the other half wants to save him.
The most dynamic incarnation of the 80-year old ape, this fast-paced update set in 1973 doesn't waste time with exposition or character development. Instead it gets right down to eye-popping creature clashes that excite much more than they engage.
Incidentally, the only way to pacify an enormous primate is with a gigantic tire swing.
