Watch Kong: Skull Island For Free

good back-story, and good acting

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Some amazing shots, but ultimately still not better than the Peter Jackson version. Some effects are very obvious CGI and Blue Screen, similar to a 60's movie of this genre. Samuel L Jackson's character completely ruins the movie. It is just not believable that anyone would act the way he does given the circumstances they find themselves in. Even worse is that the party actually obeys! For what reason would scientists obey a government official if they have nothing to gain by doing so? The beautiful 'love' story between a giant ape and human King Kong is known for, has for some reason been excluded from this version. The King Kong magic is gone. Maybe, hopefully, this will materialize in a sequel...I just don't know if I'd be interested in seeing a sequel...

I can't contribute much here because most of the nay-sayers have already said "Nay." First of all, we have no real idea why the government would ante up for this ludicrous venture. Once the Senator decides to go along with it, a truly idiotic array of cannon fodder and expensive helicopters head off, not knowing a thing about their reason for doing so. The early scene of Kong destroying the copters is asinine. Once he grabbed the first chopper, the rest of the pilots should have backed off and figured things out. Kong's arms are long but about 30 feet would have put them out of harm's way. There is so much that goes unexplained in this thing and so many plot holes, it's hard to get into it. Sam Jackson plays the same part he has played about sixteen times (were there any snakes in those helicopters?). The rest of the stiff acting company does nothing to develop any sort of connection for us. Even the hero guy is about as boring as one can be. I could go on, but others have already poked holes in it enough.

Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L Jackson star in this movie, has to be a guarantee that this is going to be a cracking movie - how wrong can you be. On a positive note the SFX are pretty impressive if a bit stupid in places.. The story line is ridiculous. Take the stories of King Kong, Jurasic Park, 10,000 years BC and The Land that Time Forgot, throw them in a melting pot, give it a good stir and out pops this movie. Is it watchable? Just if only for the SFX. Would we watch it again, not likely but you never know.

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.
