Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Kevin Y — ★★★★
   “There are very few things that I respect more than a movie that is unafraid to embrace its own stupidity. … It’s absolutely glorious in its brazen spectacle.”

2. Robert Taylor — ★★★★½
   “Finally, I’ve struck gold. … Its puny humans are spectacularly disposed of for one purpose only — your entertainment.”

3. RazorRex — ★★★★
   “This time: Kong: Skull Island. … What sets this film apart is that it takes place in 1973, … However, it feels like the island is lacking a little.”

4. Biff_W — ★★★★
   “Delivers on so much more satisfying spectacle … the ending being John C Reilly getting to meet his family again … was genuinely beautiful.”

5. #1 gizmo fan — ★★★★
   “I relate to king kong because I too would protect Brie Larson at all costs.”
