Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!
Saw KONG: Skull Island last night. C+/B- for a grade.... You expect a monster movie and you get a monster movie. If that's your thing, it'll probably score higher for you. Kong's scenes were the best in the movie by a wide margin, as they should be. He also had more development than any of the human characters. Kong vs the other monsters is worth the price of a matinee at minimum. John C. Riley's character was well played and funny. Sam Jackson's arc was kind of bizarre. You really have no clue why he is who he is. If you have some explanation to this, the movie comes together is a much better fashion.
The movie suffers from a good bit of "horror movie stupidity", where parts of the plot require characters to purposely avoid using common sense. Also there is some clunky exposition because this movie has to tie in to Godzilla since shared universes are all the rage now.
Like I said earlier, I think this is worth seeing on a Cheap Ticket Tuesday. Just grab some popcorn and munch away
