Kong: not very good CGI Island

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2020)

A team of military and scientists land on the uncharted Skull Island and run into giant ape King Kong, as well as a host of other huge, mainly unfriendly creatures.
Pretty dumb popcorn entry into the Kong series, this is an insult to the original. However 21st Century kids will more likely enjoy it for the non stop CGI mash up, as for me give me physical effects any day. Set in 1973 there is an attempt at making it cool by including a pretty impressive soundtrack. Mr cool himself, Samuel L Jackson, doesn't seem quite at home in this one, certainly not one of the better movies on his CV that's for sure. Going back to the effects personally I didn't find the CGI very impressive and the onslaught wore thin rather quickly.
There is a post credits sequence that suggests a sequel, I for one won't be holding my breath!
