 Kong Skor Island, where man meets monsters. My name is Brandon Keith Avery, and this is just my opinion. So Kong Skor Island is directed by Jordan Valkrovers, who's known for The Kings of Summer which came out a few years ago, which I did not see. And unlike the King Kong film that came out in 2005, directed by Peter Jackson, this one gets straight to the point. And when I say that, I mean it, because the first frame of this movie, and it's something that I liked about it, is the scope. Because you're looking at the screen and you're like man, this thing is big, like huge humongous. And that's just a great way to set the tone for the adventure that you're about to go on. Now this movie is filled with the star-studded cast of familiar faces that you've seen from all around the place. First you have Tom Hiddleston, then you have Brie Larson, who won the Academy Award back in 2015 for Best Leading Actress in Room, then you have John Goodman, who's been in pretty much everything. He's great. Toby Kebbo's been in a few movies, and I believe he's doing the most in capture for Kong in this movie. He also did great. Corey Hawking's and Jason Mitchell, who played Easy E and Dr. Dre in Straight Out of Compton. And you know I love that movie to death. And also John C. Reilly, this guy's hilarious. And last but not least, Samuel Jackson with his cocky, arrogant ass. And I'll touch on him later. So what Kong's Go Island is about is you have these scientists, and you have these businessmen who are this rogue organization. And they come together, and they discover an island, and they want to go investigate and have an adventure. So they grab up a bunch of men, and they go over to the island to investigate, not knowing what's really there. Or do they? And when they get there, this shit hits the fan. And just like John C. Reilly says in the trailer, We're all gonna die together out here. You shouldn't have come here. Yeah, you probably shouldn't have come here. Now just touching on the characters a bit more. I love them all. They all had a great stake in the game. They had a great stake in the fight. I love John C. Reilly. And I also love Samuel Jackson to a point. And Samuel Jackson, his normal Samuel Jackson, cranked up to 50. He's a soldier, and he wants to serve and do right by his country. And for a while you liked it, and you respected it. But then the guy just turns into this complete asshole that knows it all and doesn't want to listen to anybody. And just throws logic and reason completely out the door. And you're like, Sam, what are you doing? What are you doing? Why, why, why? I mean, seriously, it gets to the point to where you want to jump in the screen and punch this guy in the face yourself. Like, what the hell is wrong with you, dude? I mean, he's just one of those people you can't convince there's a fire, even when his head is burning. I mean, his head could literally be on fire. Sam, put the fire out. Your head is burning. No, my head isn't burning. The sun is just closer to the earth. And that's what it is. I mean, you're going to be like, really, dude, really? Come on now. But that's his character. I liked him in the beginning. He was a strong, steadfast character, but he can turn into a complete moron, later on to where I didn't want to get behind him at all. Now, like I said, the scope is huge in this whole movie. I mean, it looks big. Try to see this movie in IMAX 3D. The biggest screen as possible. It is worth your money. And something else that I like is just a lot of the small details that most people don't pay attention to. And that's just the way the film is shot and framed and the way they do slow-mo and tied in with all the effects and whatnot. It's just really cool. Just seeing a bunch of soldiers on a ship walking to the helicopter in slow-mo. It was just cool. It was epic. It was nice to look at. To see helicopters hovering over the water in slow-mo with the blades going boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I don't know why, but the blades going back and forth that look badass. I mean, I kind of wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter after seeing this movie because what the director did in shooting it just made it look so cool. What's also great about the movie is how funny it is. Now, don't let that scare you. It's not jokes. These are funny moments because they're trapped on the island and King Kong or Kong is going around. As you see from the trailers, knocking helicopters out and you got monsters over here, monsters over there and blah, blah, blah. Is the movie serious? Oh yes, the movie is serious and people die violently. So we're like, oh, oh, oh my gosh, like back and forth over and over and over again. But at times it's still funny because they have certain characters here and there that you can relate to and they are reacting to the situation the exact same way you would if you were trapped on the island and didn't know what the hell to do. It's funny and makes for great entertainment. Now, of course, what you all come to see is the action. You want to know if Kong, King Kong, Rex Chop on Skor Island and Beast of Hell out of these monsters. And yes, he does and it is amazing. Now, doing all this, the CGI was great. You can still tell that it was CGI air points but for the most part it's good and it's passable. This isn't the, you know, breaking new rules and worlds with an avatar where it looks real and all euphoric and whatnot. Some of the things you can tell that it is CGI but it didn't ruin the movie. It didn't take me out of the film and I still enjoyed it. But seriously, King Kong is the beast and not to be messed with, especially if you're coming to his turf starting crap. You just can't do that. You just can't come to somebody's house dropping bombs expecting nothing to happen without them retaliating. And for some reason, Samuel Jackson's character, his dumb ass just doesn't understand that. But that's okay. I'm not gonna spend any more time on him. But another great thing about this movie is it really feels like a true epic adventure. You really feel like you're on the island stuck with these characters just like they are. You just want them to get out and just get away and survive. And they all don't survive. I was great about it. There's a lot of people sometimes can make fun of Ken and Father and movies like, oh, they're just throwing a bunch of characters in there so they can die. Well, yes, so what? Who cares? That's exactly what they did in this movie and it worked. It worked perfectly. I wanna see death and destruction. I mean, that's just what you come to see. Do you wanna see a Kong school island movie where Kong doesn't whoop anybody or he doesn't kill anybody or the monsters don't kill anybody? You know, you will be disappointed and you're not gonna be disappointed with this. The action is all around you. It's in your face. It warns you when it's coming and it also surprises you and sneaks up on you at times. I mean, sometimes when they're just going through the forest trying to make the rounds, you know, you just walking looking like, oh, okay, is that a tree? Oh no, shit, it's a monster. And it's like, oh, damn. I mean, and when the death comes, it comes from all around and it's epic. I mean, and you're on the edge of it. See, like, man, are these people really gonna survive? And when they're trying to survive, they're trying to survive. They're shooting their girls and pulling out knives and stabbing and going like this. And you're like, with them too, like doing this and you see, ugh, get out, get out, you, ugh, ugh. Like seriously, that's what you're gonna, I mean, that's what I did in the movie. I don't know if that's what you're gonna be doing but that's what I'm doing and I'm just trying to tell you my experience, my opinion, and that's just how great it is because I was just into the movie that much. But seriously, I mean, you care about Kong, you care about most of the characters and you want them to succeed. And the movie flows, this is like easily, I think like right over 90 minutes, just an hour and a half long, not too short, not too long, just perfect. And it's pretty simple. They get stuck on the island and they're just trying to escape. And that's basically it. And you're gonna see some action and adventure inside of this here and there and it's fun and people are down left and right and you don't know who's gonna survive it. I mean, it's just a lot of fun and it's really hard not to love. And if you wanna see King Kong go through and just whoop the shit out of all these monsters, I mean, you're gonna get everything you want, you're gonna have a good time just like I did. I'm not saying that this blew me away and it's the best action movie ever known to men, no. But it's pretty good and met my expectations which were pretty mediocre. And before I forget, make sure you stay after the credits because there is an after credit scene and in my opinion, it's worth it. So if I were to rate Kong Skor Island from a one out of a 10, I would give it a nine out of a 10. Yes, a nine out of a 10. But hey guys, that's just my opinion. Have you seen Kong Skor Island?
