Kong Sized Fun

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2017)

I was hesitant to see the film, fearing it was another rehash of big gorilla discovered, fights, falls for girl, gets trapped, put on display, escapes, climbs building, fights off militia, falls and it ends. It was pleasurably different than I thought. Without any spoilers, it has a different spin and the big ape is absolutely awe-inspiring. I usually don't go for CGI infested films, but since it's Kong, I expected it and it was necessary for the story and done extremely well. I only have one criticism and that's I wish there was more background to the indigenous people of the island who were mysterious and deserving of further exploration. They looked pretty cool. Highly recommend! Kong is king!
