Kong: Skull Island (2016)

Watched this again and still rather enjoyed it. I had almost forgotten about all the amusing banter.

This film is a hellava lotta fun.

Indeed, it's a solid action film, plenty of re-watch in it.

Looking forward to the King Kong Vs Godzilla remake based of these films.

Comic Con will have something about the Monsterverse hopefully.

The Monsterverse is the classic monsters, no? Mummy, Dracula, Wolfman, CftBL. edit: I think the Invisible Man is part of it too?

Monsterverse is the current Godzilla and Kong universe.

My bad, I'm thinking of the "Dark Universe", which The Mummy (2017) is the first film. Though i's lousy performance at the box office set those plans back it seems.

Kong was a kick ass ride. Way more fun then the 2014 Godzilla movie. Hope they can keep this up in the series.

Kong is going to win over Zilla.

I still haven't seen this.

Opinions?

Way more fun then Godzilla. This was non-stop Big Monster Action. They need to get the guy that directed this to do the Godzilla movie over Gareth Edwards.

The leak could be real.

Bring on Zilla.

Watch it. Expect a special effects and character driven action/adventure film. It's fun.

A while back I watched Kong: Skull Island for the first time, on Blu-ray. Superb. This is an incredible film, with amazing effects. Though it's not my favorite Kong film (that would still be the '76 version), I like this rendition of Kong more than the other ones - he's huger than in any of the previous versions, and this really adds to his being an extreme threat. Extremely well-done.

Too many great scenes to cover here, but one of my favorites was near the beginning, when they got to the Island for the first time & Kong started swatting the helicopters away like annoying flies - very cool.

The natives of the island - who disguised themselves as part of the jungle/rock formations - were somewhat creepy.

I also liked how Skull Island is shown as having unexpected dangers on a constant basis, i.e. the huge spider, the disguised?! tree creature, the lizard-like creatures, etc.

I also liked the 1970's setting & the rock/pop soundtrack from that era. It was a good idea to not try to make a re-make of the original '33 version (which as been remade twice anyway, i.e. '76 & 2005), but instead present a completely different story.
