He's back

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2017)

Peter Jackson's King Kong was a bloated mess of a movie. The last Godzilla, outside of the first 20 minutes with Walter White, was a monster disappointment. So why did I even consider going to see skull island? It was the only movie playing in a 2 hour time frame I have before my Wednesday night softball game.
To my great surprise this is the best monster movie I think I've ever seen in my 46 years. The action and pacing is breathless. Kong looks insane. The acting, especially the great John C Reilly, is awesome. The movie also manages to be funny and fun. If you like this kind of movie at all this is a must see on the big screen.
