Kong: Skull Island review

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2020)

A triumph of CGI spectacle over plot and characterisation that seeks to draw parallels between Samuel L. jackson's megalomaniac desire to destroy Kong and US intervention in foreign conflicts. It's so predictable that I actually rolled my eyes when the skullcrawler 'unexpectedly' returned from the dead. Difficult to understand how a movie filled with so many striking images can be so boring.
