Kong: Skull Island

“Any movie with the sense, the wit and the visual instincts to introduce Kong the way this one does is fine with me.”

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 88

“It also cannot be overstated what an asset [John C.] Reilly is. The moment he shows up, the movie feels enlivened and energized; his mere presence adds a tremendous amount of oddball charm and humor.”

Drew Taylor, The Playlist · 83

“Kong: Skull Island is an offering to the hungry mouths at the multiplex who want to cheer a movie that doesn't insult, or tax, their intelligence.”

Amy Nicholson, MTV News · 83

“Kong: Skull Island is a grand cinematic adventure powered by furry fury, as the horrors of war blend with chest-beating creature confidence.”

Matt Donato, We Got This Covered · 80

“This highly entertaining return of one of the cinema's most enduring giant beasts moves like crazy — the film feels more like 90 minutes than two hours — and achieves an ideal balance between wild action, throwaway humor, genre refreshment and, perhaps most impressively, a nonchalant awareness of its own modest importance in the bigger scheme of things.”
