Unsatisfied by this new interpretation of the legendary monster.

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2019)

Kong: Skull Island is enjoyable, but that doesn't mean it's enough to be considered as a good film. It features a fair amount of action sequences and unfortunately not so much interesting stuff in it. The story, characters, acting and music are the weakest aspects, that hurts the film and drags the score down for me. The positives can still be found very easily, but of course they can be considered also as negatives at the same time. John C. Reilly is the only one, who gives a good performance and his character (while very stereotypical) is the one, that everybody will very easily connect to and having a closer for him was very nice. The visual effects are very mixed for me - they look good and very unimpressive at the same time; good cinematography, but huge percent of it can be found in other films; the scenes with Kong are good, but very short and he's not in it so much and then the huge positive is the impressive sound. If you want to see a good King Kong film, go and watch the older versions of the legendary monster.
