Kong: Skull Island (2017) - 120 min

Kong: Skull Island is an American monster film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts.
Starring Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell & John Ortiz.
With the help of soldiers, a group of scientists goes on a mission to visit an Island in Southeast Asia. After reaching the Island they start to drop bombs, until someone shows up to fight.
This is the second film in the series of monster movies that starts with Godzilla 2014 which is far better than this movie. The failed attempt of character development was the main problem that faces the whole story. The technical team did an excellent job and the actors are all talented.  Now comes the King Kong factor which is the only thing that is worth watchable. The intro action scenes and the ending scenes were outstanding. The night scenes look ridiculous in 3D.
The Academy award winner Brie Larson is assigned to take pictures in the movie and apart from one stunt scene there is nothing much to do for her. The only reason why she signed this movie is the popularity of King Kong movies, Other than that, I don't know why she acts in this movie. Samuel L Jackson's eye to eye contact with King Kong was unbearable to watch. Overall, it's watchable only because of King Kong and that's the only thing that keeps the movie alive.
Verdict: Average
