Why did the director think the audience was so stupid that we needed to be reminded the time period every 15 minutes?

Is this worth paying for?
I want to sneak in, but the times probably won't sync up with Logan.

I really only want to see for Goodman, Jackson, and Reily.

mediocre I think. It has more action than the Jack Black movie but the fights really aren't that good or massive in scale outside of the last one which makes sense. It's ok but he literally looks like a bitch compared ot Godzilla

>Godzilla 2014
>features 15 minutes of Godzilla

>Kong 2017
>features 15 minutes of Kong

What the fuck is this 'lets sidetrack the main attraction' shit?

>hurr let's fly our helicopters near the giant monkey

What were they thinking?

I've never seen any King Kong movies before.
How bad are the giant spiders and how long are they there for? I'm arachnophobic.

>all the helicopters are getting punched out of the sky
>they keep circling him until LITERALLY EVERY HELICOPTER HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE SKY

Yes I am mad

It's quite spoopy and hairy, but they blow it the fuck out almost immediately

I liked it but as usual with these movies the humans are the most boring bit and they are the focus way too much.

I couldn't see the hair at all but fuck that motherfucker man. out of everything that jackass freaked me the fuck out.

I wanted them to go underground and fight the big lizards or some shit

I didn't understand why the fuck main characters suddenly decided to go save Kong, Jackson's character was justified in every way.

>It's time show that HOMOSAPIEN is KING

so is this worth watching?

This
I didn't want Jackson to die desu

>Why did Sup Forums tell me that this movie was good
I didn't. I already told it was crap yesterday after I was tricked into seeing it myself.

Not in theater. It's a pretty hollow experience. 70's meme songs literally start playing

thanks.

*told you

I feel like that would have been a better credit scene than

>nigger and chink are the leaders now

>Russians get there and hear all the chatter about it being hollow
>go into a vent
>fucking Ghidora or Rodan beat their shit then the roar

I think it's also the only monster in the movie done with practical effects. Stay spooped, user

you're joking right? it was clearly CGI

The only thing that looked real was that fucking Bushbaby poor bushbaby

Dipshits on here will say any big budget action film is good if it isn't capeshit

I couldn't stop laughing during the grenade sacrifice scene

>>features 15 minutes of Kong
it was only 15? becuase I swear it felt more. if that's true then this movie certainly did a much better job of making Kong a presence than the '14 Godzilla did.

the dude could not have fucked that up more badly if he had intentionally tried to

>BITCH PLEASE

Marketing shills were on here yesterday promoting it with their discussion talking points trying to gun up enthusiasm before it's short window closes. It's a horrible movie, don't pay to see it.

In here you could actually see shit, in Godzilla it was like they intentionally made the screen darker just so you can't see shit

>The scene where Tom Hiddleston is chopping birds in half with a sword while wearing a gas mask in slow motion

I was laughing so hard in a theater with only 5 other people.

>with only 5 other people
wow that's about how many there are when I went too

or Hiddleston surrounded by toxic gas cutting up baby pteras with a katana in slow motion.

No joke I laughed at that shit

For real what was that shit
>can barely see anything
>he's chopping birds in the air in gas like he has perfect sight

that really annoyed me. Shin also did a good job. we can actually see the guy who we came here to see.

fucking Edwards. glad he's out of this project.

>military men die to the lizard monster in the bone pit trying to kill it
>brave strong independent female kills it by throwing a lighter
>group attempts to damage the large lizard monster with the gatling gun on the boat, its unfazed
>brave strong independent female stuns it briefly with a flare gun

WE GET IT, WOMEN ARE STRONG

That slo mo scene was shit

>Tom doesn't say "That was my fathers lighter I had since childhood you bitch."

Really missed an opportunity there

I actually liked that character, then they had him go out in the worst way possible.

There was way fucking more then 15 minutes of kong in this, they show him off litterally to the detriment of everything else.

None of the human characters are devolped and the entire thing feels rushed due to it.

You forgot

>only women can tame wild animals and touch them cliche trope

It's a lukewarm experience tbqh. My only real gripes were;
>guy with really shitty southern
accent
>guy with AK while rest of squad has M-16
>Kong doesn't have an "Atomic Breath" moment

The soundtrack made it bearable

>Is this worth paying for?
No.

This shit really annoyed me

There has to be some human drama shit thrown in there, otherwise it's just Kong fighting.

its a fun popcorn flick nothing more.

>Ominous moment where they're talking about the history of the island
>Cut to random montage of Kong jumping around
>Cut to weird Apatow movie ad lib scene with the Skull crawler name

>Upbeat happy moment where they make contact with the other group
>Scientist is dragged off by bird monsters who show up out of nowhere and don't hassle the rest of the characters at all
>Cut to hilarious shot of him getting his arm ripped off in midair against the sunset

>Everyone arguing with Samuel L Jackson not to blow up Kong and people not to shoot each other
>Brie Larson yells STOP awkwardly when no one was talking
>They just kind of look at her in an uncomfortable pause
>She says something stupid
>"BITCH PLEASE"

Was this movie a comedy?

Kong shows up
- for 5 minutes in the beginning to crash some copters with no survivors
- couple of meaningless montage shots
- final sequence

The meat of the movie is spent entirely without him. He's also a non-character, unlike old Kong movies where he's clearly the focus

>we get no backstory or at least a timelapse of what Riley and his jap friend do on the island
>We get no Russian training info/backstory form Tom
>we get no backstory on why Jackson is so hell bent on not returning to regular life
>Billy (this made me sad, I was rooting for him)
>that random white guy in the military unit
>Monarch is literally just a word and we get nothing out of it
>them twig people surviving monsters forever
>taking a anti war photographer that was going to shit on your entire story/make public monsters exist

if you see a matinee, sure. I think it was worth my six bucks. Jackson and Reilly are great, Goodman doesn't do much though.

>Jackson's character was justified in every way.
Wrong. Kong kept to himself mostly.

>soldier falls from copter right into Kong's mouth
>cuts to a guy taking a bite at a sandwich
everyone in my theatre laughed.

He killed 8 people and not just people AMERICAN people.

>>we get no backstory on why Jackson is so hell bent on not returning to regular life
I think it's implied that he's mad as fuck that they're "abandoning" Vietnam. when Larson tells him they lost the word, he corrects her saying "we didn't lose the war. we abandoned it." that's why he was hell bent on not just running away.

regular life isn't for him. when Kebbel was talking about his plans, Jackson was looking at his medals. he's a soldier until the end. war and fighting are his life.

Look buddy you don't go droppin' bombs on somebody's home unless you're picking a fight.

it was meh
but like
the good kind of meh

Matinees are $10.25 here, I'll see this and Logan after.

I just want to make sure it's enjoyable.
What bad recent movie would you most compare Skull Island too?
Pan? Suicide Squad? Fist Fight? Split?
If it's as bad as Fist Fight I'm gonna be angry.

Suicide Squad.

What happened to Fist Fight?

its not that bad
but its not that great either
its a flick
and it serves it purpose
which is escapism

>What happened to Fist Fight?
idk i guess he didnt like it

and cmon dude kong was not as bad as skwad...

Kong is better than those movies you named.

Suicide Squad was good for a laugh.
>What happened to Fist Fight?
It was complete shit is what happened.
I wrote a review if you're interested.

Even better. Is Brie the only woman in the movie? Guess that means no eyecandy.

...

>I didn't understand why the fuck main characters suddenly decided to go save Kong, Jackson's character was justified in every way.
It's like we didn't even see the same movie.

>Even better. Is Brie the only woman in the movie? Guess that means no eyecandy.
there's another Chinese actress. Jing Tian.

Because the people that watch it when it premieres are shit eating plebs that will hype anything and shills. You should know this by now.

thanks, she doesn't look too special, but maybe she's hot in the context of the movie.

no, nor is brie larson

The bitch was so annoying.

>did anyone get mad at the number of dindus who survived and the whiteys that didn't,

>also Sam was in the right

He did provide them some time to escape since that two leggy lizzy would have fucked them up so quick and kang came to the rescue

>why did the Randa guy die

oh damn

It's the best period of music in the last century.

THE GUY LITERALLY TELLS A FUCKING STORY ABOUT WHY HE CARRIES AN AK JESUS CHRIST

You're all a bunch of fags

The only bad thing about this movie was everyone following king nigger into the jungle to die

Other than that it was tight as fuck

it was a high budget b movie

Because director is ultra fucking nu-male .
Don't worry it was cut down by the King.
