    Good action movie with great special effects - don't overthink this one - just sit back, eat your popcorn, and enjoy

    Ok action movie in places. Maybe the helicopters should have stayed further away from Kong. Loved the makeup on the islanders. Pay attention to the back-ground of the credit list (which is long) there are some tidbits at the very end. Afternoon at the movies, gotta love them.

    This was a nice up to date revamping of the Kong story, were as Peter Jackson's was a redone on the original Kong story line! So why would you want another original story line version that wouldn't make any scents as Peter Jackson's was well done! This story line was very interesting & Kong was a lot larger - Acting & CGI monsters were also very believable! Over all a very well done film!

    Kong meets Platoon. Fade in '60s choppers and hippie rock 'n roll. Eventually big ape meets beauty, completing the symbolic beauty and the beast analogy. Monsters get hungry for humans too. Humans fight monsters - Kong fights monsters too. Fade in more '60s rock 'n roll. Greedy entrepreneurs get eaten by digital part-lizard monsters. Kong kills pixelated monsters by the score and eats one which has long giant octopus tentacles. Kong has no large testicles (none whatsoever) but he likes tiny little white-women photographers shooting Kodachrome film anyway - no reason given. More '60s nostalgia music. Early in the movie, soldiers stupidly fly into Kong's swinging ten-ton fists and are decimated. Bad training? No, the producers are rewriting the history of the war in Vietnam. Says the general, "We didn't lose the war, we abandoned it!" Perfectly explains how they could inexplicably misjudge Kong, at ten stories tall, 20 tons of steel and granite, they oddly blindly fly directly into his gigantic thrashing arms. Go figure! Kong in the end is victorious and beats his mighty barrel chest to show the tiny puny little white Englishman he's still King and also show the tiny little white American woman that she is still "his" - testicular braggadocio by any other description. Yea, this could all just be a metaphor for Drumpf and Kellyanne "bimbo" Conway. The alpha male reigning supreme, white ape supremacy maybe, or so it would seem. End. Roll credits.??

    This was an action flick and although the plot was rather thin, who cares? Actually S.Jackson's character may have been based on Donald Trump....Kong seemed realistic, especially his facial features. Boo to the reviewer who likened Kong to Leslie Jones of SNL. I hope it wasn't racially motivated. God didn't ask us what family or culture did want to be born in to, what we wanted to look like, or what sex we wanted to be. We should all treat one another with respect.. The soundtrack was off the chain.

    I actually loved this movie, it was very good , the acting was well done and they acually made kong look very realistic , John goodman was excellent in this movie and Samuel L Jackson did a wonderful job as a villian/ mad man. Over all a good must see movie.

    I've been a fan of King Kong and other monster movies for a long time and gotta say this was a great film. It was nice to see a different story buildup with Kong. Tom Hiddleston was a cool guy in this movie and John C. Reilly was my all time favourite character in the motion picture; he had a great sense of humour.
