Silver Screen in 2017 {Kong: Skull Island}

I have to be honest and up front, for a short period I worked on a major musical based on Kong himself and prior to this was a huge Kong Planet of the Apes fan so this review may sound biased, but it's not.

With that out of the way, onto Kong: Skull Island.



With War for the Planet of the Apes due out in July, it's a big year for monkeys/apes/animals on the big screen.

The all star cast (along with Kong) makes this an epic action/war film out now.

I was so upset I missed it in it's first week but was lucky enough to catch it Friday night. Ok so Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston were on paper strange choices but Samuel L Jackson was a must for this film.

John Goodman making a real second impact was great in this film, much like when he was on the hit show Damages with Glenn Close and the divine Rose Byrne.

Jing Tian was the most oddly cast, she said all of 11 words and was a very random inclusion, however she is stunning so fair play. And she was also killer in The Great Wall which I equally liked.

Corey Hawkins also starred and is unrecognizable from his recent lead TV role in 24: Legacy. He is smoking HOT!

So the action is HUGE, the cast is amazing and honestly I am not sad that this might be a lead in film for several more monster films like maybe Kong Vs Godzilla say?

This is a fun and exciting journey out to the cinema and to a secret land which may or not exist, great escapism, pure cinema blockbuster fun at it's best, I'm going and living large on this one 4 Stars.
