Leave your thoughts about Kong: Skull Island.
| Winnipeg Free PressRandall KingYes, it's unpretentious, but we're left with the niggling feeling this could have been so much more interesting. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's chaos and elemental fury, served with clarity, craft, a lot of depth and the added bonus of rambunctious fun. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanAn unusual combination of thunderous monster movie and gritty war film, "Kong: Skull Island" is a fresh take on a nearly 85-year-old classic. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerJulie WashingtonWhile Kong delivers violence and scares, it's the film's willingness to show that its monster is also a hero that makes it one of the best spins on King Kong in a long time. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Kong: Skull Island" is a neutered adventure movie without any soul, or balls. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyI've got no quarrel with a good, goofy monster movie - I'm the guy who liked 'The Great Wall.' But that film at least felt bound by a singular vision, by a director and his personality. 'Kong: Skull Island' is spare parts, held together with Scotch tape. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldThe story, unencumbered by character building, is just one scene after another. |
| ExcelsiorAdrián RuizThe film has all that a blockbuster requires, a multistelar cast, amazing effects and locations, as well as a new twist to tell the story of an iconic character. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Irish IndependentEd PowerAction-packed and irony-free, Skull Island is the very best sort of monkey business. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePiers MarchantWhat this film does remarkably well is give us a full-bodied Kong that moves and acts in a way that seems utterly befitting a giant of this magnitude. |
