Trivia
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts co-wrote and appeared in the Honest Trailers of his own movie,
highlighting some legitimate flaws with the film, such as massive (in his own words) structural
problems, lack of character arcs for most of the human cast, and the fact that there are too
many human characters to begin with. However, he still stood by the film and attacked the
video made on the film by CinemaSins shortly before Honest Trailers was released. He also
spent some time on Twitter attacking CinemaSins for their video on the film, calling them trolls
and countering some specific sins. See more »

A Better Than Expected Adventure
8 March 2017 | by garethvk – See all my reviews

The legendary King Kong returns in an all new adventure that gives the classic tale a much
needed update and new setting. Unlike Perter Jackson's retelling of the original Black and
White film, "Kong: Skull Island" eschews the old for the new and in doing so breathes a much
needed new life and vitality into the franchise.

The film is set in 1973 when William Randa (John Goodman), informs the government that
they have detected a previously unknown island and need to investigate it before the Soviets
learn of it and beat them to whatever the island my hold.

William recruits a team which includes a former British officer named James Conrad (Tom
Hiddleston), and Photographer Mason Weaver (Brie Larson), to assist his team lead by Houston
Brooks (Corey Hawkins), in mapping the island.

William also asks for a military escort and the government enlists Lt. Colonel Preston Packard
(Samuel L. Jackson), and his team to accompany the mission. Packard is trying to find his
place in the world as he and his helicopter combat team are dealing with the recent end of the
Vietnam War. His men are looking forward to going home and resuming their lives, but a dour
Packard jumps at the chance for another mission over the uncertainty of the future.

Upon arriving on the mysterious island and starting their survey mission by using seismic
charges, the team attract the attention of Kong who is not at all pleased with the intrusion on
his island. Kong makes short work of the copters and the team finds themselves scattered
about the dangerous island. They soon learn that Kong is not the only danger on the island
and must find a way to rejoin each other and make it to their extraction point alive.

Naturally some of the characters have a hidden agenda and there are dangerous and action
around every corner. Further complicating matters is the appearance of Marlow (John C.
Reilly), a downed WWII pilot who has been stranded on the island for 23 years and warns of
dangers far greater than Kong that are ahead of the team.

The film combines a solid cast with state of the art special effects to take a new twist on the
standard adventure fare. While many parts of the film remain silly Popcorn entertainment, the
quality of the assembled cast allows the film to move beyond being just an assembly of
potential victims for a menagerie of CGI creatures to dispatch. While the story is more in lines
with the linear and thin plots of adventure films of old, the sum of the parts does add up to an
enjoyable film experience for those who like the giant creature films. You will want to make
sure to stay after the credits as there is a very good scene that shows a setup for a future film
that had those in attendance at our press screening cheering.

The film may be a bit intense for younger viewers but if you are looking for a touch of
nostalgia and action, you may find the film just what you need.

3.5 stars out of 5.
