A Fun Kong Film, but doesn't Live up to Godzilla (2014)

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2017)

Just to say, Godzilla (2014) is my favorite film in the world to be honest, I loved the characterization and the build up to one of the most epic third acts in movie history, people may say it had little Godzilla and too much character. So the creators of Kong: Skull Island listened.
Kong Skull Island is pack with great sequences... when Kong is in the picture, its so much fun seeing him kick more monster butt on the big screen again, and the characters John C Reilly and Samuel Jackson are both great and shine in this film, and personally I thought Tom Hiddleston was a cool bad-ass who had little characterization, but lived up with his tricks.
The problems are, them three I mentioned were the only ones with characterization, maybe Toby Kebball but I didn't care. The Characters are lame and bore me, I just wanted Kong, I wanted to love these characters like in Godzilla, that's why it never bored me. Another problem is, as I loved how Godzilla (2014) teased you from the beginning of a big fight but never showed adding anticipation, which is why the final battle is so AMAZING, due to its build up, if we already earlier on saw Godzilla fight, we would think "well... I've already seen this" But in this it shows too much Kong kicking ass that it ruined the final battle, don't worry I loved the scenes, its just that I didn't recognize that near the end, that this was a final battle as it was just the same as the earlier scenes, so it didn't wow me.
But that end credits scene.... IS WORTH SPENDING ALL YOUR MONEY TO SEE Overall, it was okay and fun at points, just with big mistakes I hope they learn from it, as they seemed to listen to the Godzilla feedback. I rate this a 7/10
