Onto Movie 2- Kong: Skull Island - Star Trek Website

So I stuck with it and watched movie number 2. Kong: Skull Island while not tying back to Godzilla (2014) heavily (or more than like three lines of dialogue total), failed to grip me as much. It felt like a muddled mash up of your stereotypical Vietnam War story and fantastical creatures horror jig. Most the time I couldn’t understand if I was meant to care for any of the humans. By the time it got to like the 1:30:00 mark, I felt the true conflict arose: kill vs. defend Kong. Most curious question: is Mason Weaver meant to be an Ann Darrow counterpart? My mind immediately wants to compare this to Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake. I am most with that story for my connection to Kong. I’m certain I’ve seen the original but can’t confirm. Sorry Brie, but I think Naomi Watts was a better Darrow.
