KONG: SKULL ISLAND Spoilers

In 1973, hunter-tracker James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) is hired by government agent Bill Randa (John Goodman) to guide an survey expedition to an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean known as "Skull Island". Randa recruits a military unit led by Colonel Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) to escort them there, and the group is later joined by photojournalist Mason Weaver (Brie Larson), who believes the survey to be a cover for a military operation and plans to expose it.

Arriving in Skull Island, Packard's men begin dropping explosives developed by seismologist Houston Brooks (Corey Hawkins) to determine if the the ground is hollow, despite Conrad's objections. Suddenly, the helicopters are attacked by the mighty Kong and the team is separated in smaller groups. Packard confronts Randa, who reveals his affiliation to the secret government organization Monarch and the expedition's true purpose to acquire evidence that monsters exist. Packard and his remaining men then begin braving the creatures of Skull Island to rescue the missing members of the expedition.

Meanwhile, Conrad, Weaver, Brooks and biologist San Lin (Jing Tian) run into the local natives and meet Hank Marlow (John C. Reilly), an American pilot who has been stranded on Skull Island since World War II. Marlow reveals that Kong is the island's guardian and is worshipped as a god for the natives for protecting them to the Skull Crawlers, reptilian monsters that live underground. Kong's ancestors were slaughtered by the Skull Crawlers, leaving him as the rest of his kind, and he only attacked the helicopters to prevent their bombs from awakening the dormant Skull Crawlers, but it's too late and they are already targeting the stray humans.

The two groups eventually meet up and plan to leave the island, but Packards insists on searching for his right-hand man, Major Jack Chapman (Toby Kebbell), who is still unaccounted for. Marlow leads them to the Forbidden Zone, where they are attacked by a Skull Crawler that has already killed Chapman and kills Randa as well. Conrad manages to lure it into a trap and the soldiers kill it. Packard blames Kong for the death of his men and rallies the surviving soldiers to retrieve explosives and lure Kong into a trap. Conrad and Weaver prevent Packard from killing Kong and point out Kong was only defending himself and protecting them from the Skull Crawlers. The soldiers decide to spare Kong and prepare to leave with Conrad and Weaver, but Packard refuses to let him go.

Suddenly, the group is attacked by the Skull Crawlers, and Packard stays behind as the others flee, intending to detonate the explosives once the Skull Crawler is close enough that the blast will kill both it and Kong, but Kong manages to escape and crushes Packard, but is then defeated by the Skull Crawler, which then chases the survivors as they race towards the boat. Captain Earl Cole (Shea Whigham) attempts to sacrifice himself to kill the pursuing Skull Crawler, but is killed before he can. The creature then ambushes the humans but is then killed by the returning Kong. Aided by Weaver, Kong kills the remaining Skull Crawlers with explosives left behind by Packard and rescues Weaver after she is thrown into the river by the explosion. Kong then allows the remaining humans - Conrad, Weaver, Marlow, Brooks, Lin, Glenn Mill (Jason Mitchell), Blake Simpson (Thomas Mann) and Marcos Reles (Eugene Cordero) - return to civilization.

In an after-credits scene, Conrad and Weaver are detained by Monarch and informed by Brooks and Lin that Kong is not the only monster to roam the world, as archive footage shows cave paitings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah.

looks like trash

thanks for saving me 10 bucks

>Conrad
>apocalypse now references all over the place
dude hearts of darkness lmao

What's a skull crawler look like?

Like a giant cubone with an crocodile mouth and no legs

...

Why did Kong have trouble against them and Kong's ancestors?
Population?

Judging from the last trailer and this it looks like a flick at best.

I'm curious that the studio is trying a movie with a less serious tone than godzilla. I wonder what the next Godzilla vs. King Kong is gonna be like? Maybe an inbetween take on it

Just how big is Kong this time around? Does he ever pick up a tree and use it as a weapon?

Maybe Godzilla and Kong team up to take out Mecha Gidorah

I think he tossed a tree at a chopper.

his head is larger than a chopper too, so he's pretty massive.

>Godzilla and Kong team up to take out Mecha Gidorah
>Mothra arrives to help
>Kong: she with you?
>Godzilla: thought she was with you?
>*intense guitar riff*

Yes, he does.

>In an after-credits scene, Conrad and Weaver are detained by Monarch and informed by Brooks and Lin that Kong is not the only monster to roam the world, as archive footage shows cave paitings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah.

>James Conrad

i just noticed the pottery here

Looks like they're going to have a repeat of the tree scene when he and Godzilla fight

Fill me in

>no anguirus

>le mothra meme

Kaijukino.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER
King Kong is there. ]/spoiler[

>Joseph Conrad
>Heart of Darkness
>Apocalypse Now
>this fucking movie

I still don't get why a monster movie decided to pay so many homages to "Apocalypse Now" of all things.

Is it solely due to the Vietnam angle?

Thanks hombre, I just want to see the post-credits scene now. Saved me ten dinero

>Mediocre movie of a property everyone has seen a million times? I don't know, just put some nostalgia stuff and homages to an infinitely better movie

>>In an after-credits scene, Conrad and Weaver are detained by Monarch and informed by Brooks and Lin that Kong is not the only monster to roam the world, as archive footage shows cave paitings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah.

Enjoy user

>Vietnam movie
Do they play "It Ain't Me" at any point in the movie?

Sounds like crap. I can think of better monsters to make big budget movies for.

It would be great if they actually had the rights of Gamera and put him in the monsterverse

Man, 2020 is so far away

So that plebs and redditors like, many in this board, think the movie is "le kino" because it references a classic movie that they probably haven't seen or don't understand.

Why spoil yourself? The whole "I like spoilers" meme doesn't even make sense. You only get one chance in your life to go into a movie fresh and spoiler-free: your first viewing of it. Literally every time you watch a movie after the first time you'll know how/why things happen.

>wooh!
>yeah!
>clapping
>random guy standing

>Americans

cause even if I read the spoilers, by the time I see the movie I have already forgotten what is gonna happen

Why do Muricans act like this in a cinema? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Ah, well that's ok then. But whatabout everyone else?

The acting in that webm is fucking atrocious

archive footage shows cave paitings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah.


OH SHIT NIGGA

wow amerifats managed to dumb down fucking king kong

Does Kong get the girl?

do they fug?

the original BLACKED

Elizabeth Shue porked a tang?? Godless heathens

does my waifu Brie show her titties?

KONGED

the guy whooping? he seems really enthusiastic

>Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah
My dick is fucking DIAMONDS

>cave paintings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah.
>cave paintings

well shill'd my friend

No, I actually think it's fucking retarded

actually, why the fuck would there be cave paintings
didn't Godzilla imply that most of these big creatures were dormant or died out before mankind was even around, and only widespread nuclear use has brought them back to the surface

cavemen drew them from genetic memory

If Godzilla is the last of a species and Kong is the last of his species, are they going to make all the kaiju 'ancient creatures long since dormant'? How are they going to explain all these big fuck animals just now appearing?

they all died between skull island and godzilla 2014

>How are they going to explain all these big fuck animals just now appearing?
muh nukes woke them up
I wonder how they're gonna fit ghidorah in since he's usually a space monster or future monster

So all these three headed dragons and giant moths are running around the 80s and 90s?

I mean all the "extra" ones, the giant water buffalo, Skullfuckers etc

They can probably atill keep him a space dragon.

This is just awful. Tonally it feels like the Fantastic Four movie.

You didn't hear it from me but they originally had an additional bit at the end that had old timey footage of all four of them fighting in the Atlantic during WWII.

It was cut for god know what stupid reason.

Once again, Japan is superior.

Ayyyyye
Dunno how I missed that tbqh
Cheers

Is this series going to cross over with Pacific Rim?

No.

>as archive footage shows cave paitings of a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Gidorah


This reminds me of the BvS email scene.

Kong cant even handle the creatures on his own island.
How is he going to take on Gorilla?

you're full of shit, user.
please elaborate, my dick can only get so hard

>Its the King Gidorah is a bad guy episode
Fucking faggots

Yeah I dont really care much for Kong, but the Gidorah, Mothra, and Rodan shit sounds cool

>FROM MY POINT OF VIEW GODZILLA IS EVIL

In that leaked footage where it cuts to black and you hear godzilla roar, it was supposed to have a final part that shows Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah fighting in the ocean among WWII destroyers.

It's been a part of the edit for the better part of a year, dunno why it wasn't at these screenings.

>Devils don't come from hell beneath us they come from the sky.

by deactivating his autocorrect

>IT'S OVER! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND

they should have included "Godzilla" in the title or made the connection more obvious, no one gives a shit about this, even when they announced at comic con no one cared

footage?
webm?
anything?

that sounds like something special, maybe they'll show it once it hits nost theaters

Serial Apist?

>all the good characters die the movie

thanks for saving me money

Obviously not, it's gonna be one of those grain of salt things. Dunno what else I can do to gain credibility other than other shit I know. I'm pretty sure those wonder woman spoilers are fake, I don't have that feature though. The twist in Spiderman is that his homecoming date is the Vulture's daughter, and Vulture is in jail at the end, but that may have been posted before. Flash calls Peter "Penis Parker" and theres a scene where Spiderman argue with a bunch of New Yawkers sticking thier heads out thier windows because he was too loud trying to stop a car jacking.

That's what I thought, but why omit something literally made for the fans at a fan screening? The only other one I can think of is the one for the Avengers, but that was literally shot after the premiere.

movie takes place in the 70s? Did you think you were going to see them again in the current time line?

No, and don't get me wrong I'll still watch it, but I'm not paying to see it.

I'm a military man and all the soldier's die like bitches.

>Toby Kebbel
>Sam Jackson
>John Goodman
>All die
>John C Riellly and Allison fucking Brie live, as well as a bunch of spics and eurocucks no one gives a fuck about

No

This is why we need that fucking wall, Carlos.

oh okay then I understand.

So you have to watch a 2+ hour long monkey movie just to see 5 seconds of what we really want to see (Godzilla and giant monsters)

>you now realize that Jack Black was a leading man in the only good King Kong remake ever

No but they play plenty of other CCR songs

Brie Larson really should have died, would have been a nice twist on Kong dying in all of his main films but Ann living.

Older monster movies just feel more genuine

CRASHING THIS PLANET

>americnas

>huehues

Wow what an unpredictable and interesting plot

Any nudity?

yeah Kong is naked for the whole movie

Who is "we" faggot. There are plenty who want to see Kong kino if ur dumbass hasn't noticed

>Skullfuckers
user..

So is this shit worth seeing?

Well, dang, that sounds like something I would have enjoyed seeing.
