The jarheads in the movie are virtually nothing more than bodies to feed to creatures like these. Other highlights include a daddy 'super' long and another giant insect that can disguise itself as a decrepit fallen tree. The climax pits Kong against the big daddy of these beasts, a riveting fight scene but with an inevitable outcome. He is the last of his kind, and his family was killed by a species that looks like an amphibious version of the distinctive skulled ape in Temple Run. The idea is that he is the guardian protector of the island, who fights to keep nature in balance, by controlling the numbers of the other big inhabitants. This Kong is all about attitude and not soul. Unfortunately he is stuck in a movie that is not 'King Kong' a movie that about a monster finding his humanity. As for King Kong, He is the biggest we have seen yet in a major motion picture. His humour and energy, are a relief from watching everyone else perform with zero enthusiasm. Stranded on the island for two decades, he has befriended the local indigenous people and knows all the Islands secrets. The film also succeeds in wasting Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson. Jackson as the commander, perfectly type cast with his bravado Schick that is no longer entertaining. He also gets the luxury of a military escort. We begin with John Goodman convincing a senator to fund an expedition to a newly discovered island (captured by satellite camera). But it was that that moment when I began to have this feeling that I've had too often before, the movie is spectacle and little substance. Kong emerges under the fiery halo of a setting telephoto sun that takes up half the screen. An exotically stunning picture where the rain forests are so bright and golden as if sunlight was radiating from in between the trees.

WarnerBros.Some of the superficial elements that make up Kong: Skull Island, almost make the film worth watching, almost.
