Kong Krushed it and all around him, and we don’t doubt he’ll do the same in the box office too. Read more

Dispenses with myth and lore and jumps to the mashing and clashing we all dreamt about since slamming plastic toys together as kids. Read more

Lots of cool creatures, straight-up monster brawls, and people being killed in neat ways.

A thrilling monster mash, this movie is high on the monster mash and the imagery surrounding it, but low on plot and characterization.

Former indie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts presents it with tremendous gloss and flair.

Despite its surprisingly lackluster characters from a very solid cast, the film is still the most fun you’ll have at the movies during a dry period of the year. Read more

It’s plenty big, and the CGI is often exhilarating, but smaller moments of nuance find a way in. Read more

It’s messy and chaotic, but the camp is part of its charm.

Kong: Skull Island certainly has its moments, and if you see this on a big enough screen you'll get your share of spectacle, though seeing Kong in action on his home turf is nowhere near as visually interesting as witnessing him destroy New York. Ultimately, despite its scale, it's an often underwhelming and largely soulless experience, a movie so obsessed with delivering its giant special effect it neglects to add a human heart... Read more

The magnitude of Kong is quite impressive and the visual effects and general action is enough to keep you entertained.

I’ll recommend this strictly on the basis that you understand that the film is what it is. A giant monster destroys some things. Read more

Very hard to connect with. And it’s a shame, because when it comes to the monsters, it’s a pretty good monster movie.

It settled on neither locked into silliness trying to be serious. It just wasn’t fun.

Een zeer zelfbewuste film en neemt zichzelf niet altijd even serieus, maar houdt je wel op het puntje van je stoel en weet goed om te springen met enkele genreclichés.

Een gemiste kans en het levert een spektakel zonder inhoud op. Hoewel het vermakelijk is, voelt de film vrij doelloos aan.
