Kong is fun but don't expect too much!

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2017)

Going into this film I had low expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised coming out of the theater that this movie kept my attention for as long as it did.
The cast of this film: Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman and John C. Reilly all do adequate jobs here. I describe it as adequate because no one's performance was mind-blowing or terrible they just did the job and went about the movie. Does this make you hate the characters? Not really but Sam L. was channeling Captain Ahab from Moby Dick thru parts of this movie.But does it make you care about them? Not really either.
Overall the plot is really nothing special, SURVIVE is basically it. The action thru the parts of the film are exciting to watch but it does suffer from some slower moments which seemed like they wanted to build up tension but never really surfaced. Deaths came off a bit jump-scary but nothing too crazy bad but you can tell by the end they are setting up and world building to something bigger. Fun for the for the older kids with a bit of scares here and there. 7/10 -- Definitely could watch while doing house work in the background.
