Nice effects though.

Crappy film

Boring

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I wanted to like this. I really did. I love all the actors. I love the Kong story. I love CGI and motion capture animals. This had all the elements that should have made for an incredibly entertaining film. But I was bored throughout.

The first Kong movie I've seen. Honestly I think this was a great tribute to the monster movie genre. Everything was done well and it looked nice. I still don't remember any of the characters names, and that's my biggest gripe, but to be expected in a kaiju type film. The fighting was cool, and ultimately I liked it better than the 2014 Godzilla remake. Also Jordan is a fantastic director.

First off.....the cinematography was fantastic. The visuals are second to none. It's a beautiful movie from start to finish. Also has a great soundtrack. Acting is great. Casting is great (love Cordero being in there). What else needs to be said? It's a fun action movie. If you expected something better.....Downtown Abbey is probably available on demand.

It's a big dumb action movie that knows what it is and sticks to it. It noticed that the 2003 King Kong was too slow so it doesn't stop for a second. With great special effects and a good sense of humour, it works. Even though the characters are a bit shallow and are just there to become bodies Samuel l Jackson still gives it his all and John c. Reilly is actually quite funny. 7/10
