From the opening scene, Kong captivates.
Strap yourselves in, monsterverse maniacs, because Skull Island is a wild ride back to the golden age of kaiju films! This movie throws everything at the wall and it gloriously sticks. Forget forgettable human characters, this is all about Kong and the gloriously terrifying island he calls home.
