King Kong is the king of Monster Island

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2018)

Just finished the new King Kong. I wasn't really expecting much based upon the last King Kong film. Peter Jackson dropped the ball on that one. I must say though it was surprisingly a pretty good movie all around. The movie really captured everything fun about King Kong.
The cgi was outstanding and the action well done. Seeing Kong beat down other giant monsters was genuinely a lot of fun. The Monster Island was very well done. I liked seeing this large mysterious Island full of crazy creatures. It really felt like a large world that I wanted to see explored.
Of course seeing King Kong beat up giant monsters was the centerpiece of the movie. Kong has never looked more fierce. He was an intimidating and larger than life presence in the movie. Plus the film did a good job humanizing Kong. It was established fairly early the King Kong was the protagonist of the movie.
The movie really kept me entertained the whole time. I'm looking forward to seeing future King Kong films now. Overall a 8 out of 10.
