Critics Consensus

Offering exhilarating eye candy, solid acting, and a fast-paced story, Kong: Skull Island earns its spot in the movie monster's mythos without ever matching up to the classic original.

I was kinda disappointed by this movie, maybe because I watched the Monsterverse out of order, I watched this one last and it was my second least favorite one. But what it does get right is the characterization of Skull Island. But I don't like the characters, Kong is under appreciated and it just feels so bland. The only good parts are the pilot dude and the creatures of Skull Island. Not a great movie, but it sets up the rest of the Monsterverse well.

🍅 8.2/10 You could call it over bloated with characters, but honestly, I find every single character in here to be gold this is the perfect mix of kaiju action quips and Vietnam war vibes. I love Samuel L Jackson's performance and the visuals are amazing also Tom Hiddleston Brie Larson are fire easily, hands-down, the best out of the monster verse is provided here in Kong skull island. Also Cole's death 😭. Grade A-

(DVD, 4/4/24, Adventure/Action) Quick shot: Scientist, soldiers and adventurers explore a mythical, uncharted island. It's a King Kong movie so you know it's gonna be f/x heavy. With a giant lizard from Tokyo unavailable, the directors introduce several new monstrosities. It's nice to see Kong revered and not just seen as a monster. There is a nice back story of finding a pilot who has been stuck on the island since he crashed in WW2. Overall I enjoyed this film.

Kong: Skull Island isn't a B-movie - but with its intentionally bad writing and jarring lack of cohesion, it lamely pretends to be one.

The monster action was actually pretty thrilling, but the film doesn’t do some of its main characters a lot of favors with the script.

The action is frequent and engaging, the CGI looks fantastic, the story-line is captivating, and the movie is paced well and rounded off with an epic final battle.
