I would have rated it higher but....

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2017)

... Stop casting Sam Jackson.
I can get over some of the plot holes, I can get over some of the script, I can get over the fact that they felt the need to drop bombs to get a geological reading instead of doing core samples. I can get over the fact that somehow military pilots were stupid enough to fly that close to a massive angry ape.
But for the love of God and all things holy, stop casting that washed up clown of an actor. Same boring actor with a stick up the ass attitude in all his poorly acted movies. Replace island and ape with plane and snakes, replace plane and snakes with water science lab and sharks. He has no depth as an actor, he is the same boring repetitive person we have seen for decades. It is time to retire him for good.
Outside of the plot holes and the terrible casting of the most has been actor of the century, John C. Riley stole the show on this one, he brought humor out of a bad situation and seemed to be keyed it right on time.
I am a bit burnt out on remakes and sequels, between that and the previous complaints of plot holes and bad casting. I think this movie will be a great red box or netflix movie in 5 years from now. Not worth the money of a movie ticket though.
