It's Great Except...
4 April 2021
The ape and the lizard were awesome. Great effects and Kong was as likeable as a Titan can be. The battle scenes were just plain amazing. Top marks.

Kaylee Hottle is a charmer. She was great as Kong's little friend. She is in real life completely deaf and this was her first film, so prepare to be impressed with the job she does. She's great.

Millie Bobby Brown and Brian Tyree Henry were very good although I thought they over-played Henry's conspiracy theorist character a bit. They provided just the right amount of humor for the film. The rest of the cast were adequate if unspectacular. I was unfamiliar with Demián Bichir ("Walter Simmons") but I'll watch for him in the future. Good actor. Eiza Gonzalez did a good job and was, as always, lovely to look upon. What a gorgeous gal she is.

All in all, while I don't like the look of Legendary's Godzilla (I prefer the suit / look from Toho's Millennium movies), it's a great monster flick and one I will watch again.
