Typical summer time blockbuster...that's not a bad thing

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2018)

The film is set in the 70's where John Goodman convinces a senator to give him money and an army team to go the previously undiscovered Skull Island. He's convinced that there's a different ecosystem with giant creatures because of a conversation with a boat captain.
Samuel L Jackson plays the cranky old army squad leader who upon arrival wants to kill Kong. John C Reilly plays an old WWII who crash landed on the island some 30 years ago. He tries to convince everyone that Kong is good and keeps all the other giant creatures at bay. There are giant skeleton lizards, giant ants, giant squids, giant spiders and who knows what else. John Goodman and Samuel L Jackson die but Kong is able to save the rest of them. They are able to leave the island and Reilly is reunited with his wife and son he never met.
After the credits role, we learn there are other giant creatures with I assume Godzilla being featured. There were a ton of them so I'm sure there are a bunch of spin offs coming. I was entertained, it was fun but I can't see wanting to watch it again
