I was a bit sceptical about another Kong Remake but this turned out to be a Gem. Kong usually the victim asserts his dominance and rises above the cruel intentions of the crazy colonel played by Samuel Jackson who plays a villain like no one else . Special effects spot on and the supporting cast just the right mix.

What a crap movie, don’t bother buying it & wasting your money 🙊😔

What a load of rubbish!

I was hoping the ape would kill everyone, then throw itself off a cliff!

Incredibly bad. CRINGE.

I have seen the reviews an can only suggest that some people are easily pleased. An Ape that neither looks nor acts like an ape. Movements in many cases just like that of an American footballer.Jackson I have never liked, wooden and boring at best, in this movie he doesnt surprise at all. There are moments in the movie however which excel but basically its a try to keep intereted movie which fails.

I have like a lot of you been seduced by the 4K Apple TV and the upgrades from HD to 4K . Firstly unless you have enough broadband speed , which I have, the best you will achieve is HD and if you haven’t got these titles on Blu-ray, then these are a good purchase. As well as having the enjoyment of watching them on your iPhone or iPads or a Mac, but note, in HD only.

The average 4K film to purchase on disc is over £20 , so it very appealing, to see advertised 4K films here for under £7.

I am enjoying the 4K experience and have purchased a few from the store. But and this a big but, most 4K films here won’t upscale your existing Blu-rays and secondly most are in letterbox format .

So I suggest don’t go cheap and try to upscale your existing Blu-ray Discs or purchase here a new 4K film, over a new Blu-ray Disc of the same price , because you think it’s going to show a better picture and because it’s cheaper than buying a 4K disk.

I’ve learned my lesson and will happily upgrade some of my old dvds to these cheap 4K films, but in future if I want true 4K and no letter box, then I will bite the bullet and fork out the expense for the disc.

I had high hopes for this film.

Has to be the worst film I’ve ever seen

This is a terrible movie! I’m just glad I didn’t have to pay for it & saw it on a plane! Terrible script, characters as generic as possible for this genre! Really bad, don’t watch it! I gave it 2 stars for the budget expenditure, they obviously wasted a lot of moola!

Kong Skull Island.

I've always enjoyed Kong and Godzilla films but this one definitely lacked something for me. A few impressive CGi action moments but I definitely felt it had been churned out without much effort. I felt nothing for any of the characters at all - they were mostly rather bland stupid people. Some of them were terribly cliched characters too (which bugged me). Much as I like Tom Hiddleston, in this move he seemed to have no screen presence whatsoever.

Essentially Kong Skull Island is a small handful of action scenes that largely require the viewer to swallow the idea that most humans are really stupid (even when danger and certain death are right in front of them, i.e. the rather long-winded helicopters versus Kong scene near the start.

That scene actually annoyed me. It took up lots of screen time but was totally stupid because the helicopter soldiers behaved like blind, brainless imbeciles. One after the other all the copters flew directly at Kongs body despite the fact the monster was swatting them all down one after the other like dumb flies!! I like my monster movies to be a little more intelligent than this one was. I didn't watch it twice (which I always do if I enjoy an i-tunes movie).

Bad dialogue, poor acting and direction and wasted talent in Jackson, Reilly and Hiddleston. Set pieces with Kong are good but eveeything else is cliched and badly executed!

There are few films in which i want to stop watching before the end, this is one of them. The storyline was horrendous, the acting not much better, the only reason for the 2 stars was the quality of the CGI.

Avoid is my recommendation, really not worth watching unless it's free on BBC or ITV

Prices go up downloads go down pirates laugh!

Point being you can buy a second hand blue ray in 3 mnths for same money! Greedy apple

Btw offering 4K on tv for free but no downloads mean a very large download limit reached very quickly not viable for most as limit of 300 gb reached very quickly silly apple!

Good film ruined yet again by Samuel l Jackson one of the worst actors I've ever seen!

Godzilla roar is at the end of the movie proving that kong will go up against Godzilla. The film was amazing worth the money

It was ok - it felt like it was trying to be the old Doug McClure films of the 70's - like the land before time - certainly the acting had that about it but without the charm.

Visually stunning, and enjoyed it to a point but don't expect too much

when i bought this came as a package with Godzilla , watched the latter

One of the worst films I've ever watched. The CGI is really good but the story, acting and plot is terrible. Avoid this film!!!

Really really bad movie

Not very good at all, the story/characters/concept was so trash. The effects are great and it's always nice to see the big guy 'tearing it up' but this movie is so generic. Was glad when it was over...

A very two-dimensional cross between King Kong and Jurassic Park. Not a slice of originality. A script that will make you wince. Overall disappointing, disappointing. I wouldn't bother - you've seen it before.

It is so much better than it appears in the previews.

Like any bad action movie these days, we find the typical reliance on tropes, boring characters, predictable action scenes, out of control color grading. No panache, imagination, cleverness or fun can be found here.

No real tension or drama, roughly sketched characters, perfunctory plotting, nicely rendered effects but with little impact.

The story was excellent, always kept you watching. The effects were some of the most realistic to date. All the actors did great except Samuel Jackson who was a bit head strong and over the top as usual.

If you're into films with a massive budget, horrible script that relies on special affects every 10 seconds.. then this is for you. Otherwise.. stay clear. Not even the starry cast pull this one off.

I think I've just watched a 2hr trailer for the sequel.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Was unsure starting off but really got into it. I've always enjoyed watching Tom Hiddleston but wasn't sure about him in this sort of film or role but he carried it off brilliantly. Brie Larson is the first Kong heroine I haven't been ashamed to be the same gender of! The whole cast are great and I cared about them, which always helps. Action scenes not so frenetic that you feel your missing parts of it. Will watch it again.

Do not purchase this film it's a real disappointment and the story line is terrible along with the acting.

The film has a number of miss cast actors that are wooden and do not gel together.

The story line disappears with cgi taking over a film flooding it with explosions and helicopter scenes that are awful.

The main lead characters of Tom and Samuel are stuck in the worst script I have even seen.They possess no character or dynamics it does not gel or flow without the heavy presence of cgi.

The film goes no-where achieves nothing and has a thread of Jurassic Park stroke Indiana Jones.The story varies from slap stick to a Vengeful Samuel L Jackson.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS FILM AND IF YOU HAVE ASK FOR A REFUND.!!

KONG has been taking stick sine at least 1933. B/w climbing Empire State Building knocking out little bi-planes like flies. This new version drifts to kong island with some great Airedale shots and rumble in jungle fashion....worth buying for£9.99. And add to your Jeff bridges and Peter Jackson directed ( Lord of the RIngs and The Hobbit saga) overgrown simian collection.

Really enjoyed this film, worth a watch.

If you don't like this film.....your boring! 'Kong' is 'King' of all previous big primate films/movies 🐒

70s chic, 40s homage, and great nostalgic music. Oh yes, and the muscle. This film exceeds expectations on all counts. A winner!

Great CGI and decent charecters and storyline makes this film mostly a huge success

Astonished and disappointed that the f-bomb is used in this movie when it's a 12, there clearly are no standards to protect our children these days & the rating system is becoming more liberal as the world does. The movie has entertaining elements but is badly pieced together and as usual for a lot of modern movies relies too much on CGI & special effects while neglecting the characters and storyline. Unlikely to watch again.

Some of the acting is simply awful...a watchable movie but a rather pointless and unimaginative way to include Kong..rather stick to Netflix.

It had some bad press and reviews but I loved it, especially the scenes with the King Kong himself because the detail was just mind blowing.

This was easily one of the best movies of the year.tom hiddelston was great and kong was a true king

This film has a different approach to the older versions, and allows for a more pleasant watch, it is not the best film created but worth a watch; the acting is average and plot is predictable, however it is an enjoyable film!

We rate this 2.5/5 for acting, 4/5 for CGI and 3.5/5 for the storyline and development. Overall we rate this 3.5-4/5 for an enjoyable family film. We also would age rate this at PG-13(not too gory). Rated by UniversalG&FReviews®.

It's just good

Not a good film

Other than the CGI special effects there really isn't much more that deserves praise in this movie!

Not so long ago, the presence of a single well know actor in any production would usually guarantee at least a decent movie.

Not sure what's going on in the film industry as this movie's cast includes a lot of otherwise very good actors, but one would really struggle to tell this by watching Kong. Really disappointing...

Watching this film reminded me of watching this kids that used to burn ants with magnifying glasses - you hated what they were doing but you couldn't look away..that's what this film is like - awful, brash, crass, tepid tripe - but it's hard to look away. Maybe it because one feels that it might improve - that the story line might ascend to coherence. Whatever the reason it's a load of old codswallop. Save your money.

Hi

They did a fine job with the movie, but nothing new. I am glad it has a different ending than expected. Got to say a bit disappointed by Brie’s impact after the room but I guess the role does not lend to more. Good visual impact with good entertainment value. How many more re-version do we have to endure?

Special effects, storyline and all aspects of this film were excellent. A really enjoyable action packed movie which kept me watching throughout. You really connect with Kong and I would love to see a follow up. Buy it now guys and gals!

It's exactly what I want from a King Kong movie. It's not a masterpiece but if that's what you are hoping for I fear you are looking in the wrong place.

Wait for it to be show on TV, as it's a TV film at best. Even then you might not watch it all.

A harmless, entertaining fantasy film, full of action from start to finish (do watch the credits all the way through) and some really good CGI effects combined with some excellent cinematography.

The story is a pretty simple affair: scientists + gun toting enthusiasts explore unknown island, finding previously unseen FANTASY creatures. Add in a clash of culture and some (light) moral / ethical decision making = conclusion. The End.

Kong Skull Island, is hardly going to be a deep, thought provoking, soul searching kinda film now is it? But what it is, is ESCAPISM, which is what fantasy films are meant to be all about.

Some people may be reviewing it as a bad film, which is unfair I think. It's a fantasy monster flick and keeping to the entire ethos of fantasy monster flicks, it is absurd, it is ridiculous and it is quite true to films like The Lost World, The Beast from 20,000 Phathoms and Mysterious Island.

So, if you like monster flicks, grab some popcorn, settle down and get lost in a fantasy for a couple of hours.

This film never start playing....shame ... big shame iTunes...i will never try to purchase a film from you...
