Why isnt this the movie? Just throw us straight into seeing Kong's parents battling island creatures, have Kong's parents killed and have him seek revenge on the monsters. Its a simple enough plot and would primarily focus on epic battles between a lot of the island's inhabitance. It could have showed how Kong became king...

Cool I suppose. These serve to build up more the verses of these coming-up franchises so I can see why.

Just saw the film. F*cking terrible. I haven't hated a movie this much in a long time.


This thing was absolutely trash.

Really enjoyed the movie but it did have its flaws. Still with all that I can't wait to see all the other monster movies.
