Review of Kong: Skull Island

King Kong in the house! I mean come on how can you not want to see this?! The cast, Kong, and a different take on the story. It took a little bit for me to get to see it, but I finally made time. This is the first film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts that I've seen even though I have heard of his other work. Dan Gilroy is an excellent writer with Nightcrawler, Bourne Legacy, and Real Steel under his belt. Max Borenstein also wrote the 2014 Godzilla remake. Derek Connolly wrote Jurassic World and Safety Not Guaranteed which were both awesome. John Gatins has also wrote many films like Real Steel, Coach Carter, and Flight. With such talent on and off-screen it's a given that this would be excellent.

This was a lot more intense and suspenseful than I had anticipated. With that i have to say I loved it. The carnage was incredible. I never expected what was about to happen and to whom. The creatures were remarkable looking and this was definitely the coolest looking Kong by far. The characters were great and likable. The acting was as I expected fantastic. Thank goodness that Kong actually had a decent amount of screen time as compared to what Godzilla was given. I think it was interesting how they dealt with the beauty and Kong aspect differently than we typically see. Of course you must make sure to stay for after the credits as this is one of those types of films. It's worth it though trust me.

Do I really have to convince you to check this out? It's a badass story about Kong with a great cast of characters! If you haven't seen it yet get on it already!
