My God, what an overlong, bloated, stupid and pointlessly loud movie. Most of it is just watching nameless sailors getting picked off by Weta Workshop's CGI monstrosities in overly elaborate action scenes (which brought to mind the worst parts of the Hobbit trilogy).

Also, Jack Black's character should've gotten his head torn off by Kong. The character was a massive piece of shit, all of the deaths were his fault but noo, we're supposed to think he's funny. He even gets to deliver the awful final solemn line the movie ends on.

Between this and the Hobbit movies it's a miracle his LOTR trilogy ended up being as good as it was. What a hack fraud

    I dislike the PJ film, but I thoroughly enjoyed Kong: Skull Island. Very surprised to see John C Reilly in it.

      I haven't seen any of the Monsterverse movies past the first Godzilla which I disliked due to the film having too much Troop worship and not enough Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe.

      I do know the director of Skull Island is trying to get a Metal Gear movie made, which has my full support despite the fact that even if by some miracle it did get made, it would be awful

        Just put Kojima's name on it and people will say it was bad on purpose which makes it good and we're just not on the same level as a genius like him.

        It's also an Adrien Brodyverse movie, if you count the Predators movie he was in.

        It has some form of troop worship in it, but the first new Godzilla, and the second one with eco-terrorists, are straight up propaganda.
