  Tom Hiddleston, wearing a gas mask, runs through poison gas while slicing little pterodactyls with a Japanese samurai sword.

  Review by matt lynch ★★½ 15

  Objectively not very exciting but what is pretty interesting is the total cartoon Vietnam stuff. I've never seen that conflict aestheticized in quite this way before, a total pastiche of images concerning a time period now old enough to feel like a fantasy for a young geek-demo filmmaker. It's like the 80's nostalgia thing but applied to this incredibly destructive piece of history. So weird.

  there are (at least) two movies in this movie, and they're both awful.

  congratulations, people who complained about Godzilla being absent from GODZILLA, you got the asinine bullshit you wanted. Jordan Vogt-Roberts makes Peter Jackson look like Merian C. Cooper. no more Kong movies forever, please. (alas…)

  Now this is how you make a fucking monster movie. I came to see this movie because I wanted to see Kong fuck shit up and he indeed fucks shit up!

  Kong: Skull Island is a whole lot of fun. It's a very well crafted film. The post Vietnam War setting works great. The special effects are superb. Fantastic usage of CGI; all of the creatures are very detailed and look great. The aesthetics of the environment are awesome. The visuals are top-notch. There are several fantastic monster moments. Kong's final battle is dope as shit. Probably the best monster fight I've ever seen on screen.

  This movie could almost be classified as a B-Movie. A really really well done…

  The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this hemisphere? Localized entirely within Skull Island?

  Review by kevinyang ★★★★ 71

  There are very few things that I respect more than a movie that is unafraid to embrace its own stupidity. Kong: Skull Island has thinly written characters, extreme tonal dissonance, bad dialogue, and a complete and utter disregard for the talents of Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson, but it’s absolutely glorious in its brazen spectacle. Its thin characters and tonal dissonance don’t matter as much because it thoroughly commits to its premise, and it seems like the movie is one ridiculous–but hilarious–visual gag after another. The bad dialogue is all part of the fun. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, and that’s something I appreciate in any movie, especially a nostalgia-laced B-movie blockbuster about a giant ape.

  Some might…

  don't get me wrong i am all about brie larson™ but if rosamund pike had been here she would have achieved the cinematic trifecta:
                                   a bond girl
                                   a gone girl
                                   a kong girl
