Not boring but not great

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2017)

Felt like a jigsaw made up from parts of other, superior films. All the characters were stereotypes, barely developed, so you couldn't care much when they got eaten/shot/torn apart. And it was set in some mythical, post-racial and totally non-sexist 70s where hardly anybody smoked anything, not even tobacco.
That said - the island settings convinced, there were some good laughs, and the monsters and the US military were so scary you were soon rooting for Kong to sort them both out. Good soundtrack too if you like 70s rock. But if you want subtle, avoid this film.
