Kong: Skull Island (age 12+) Verdict: A gigantic disappointment Rating: two stars out of a possible five
More than eight decades have passed since former Daily Mail war correspondent Edgar Wallace created King Kong, but still the giant ape exerts a fierce grip on the collective imagination. What a shame, then, that Kong: Skull Island is so feebly plotted and scripted, monkeying around with the story and, in the biggest misjudgment of all, revealing Kong in all his hairy majesty even before the opening credits.
What a disappointing film this is. There are deliberate echoes of Jurassic Park, but they ring terribly hollow. There's scarcely any tension, no exciting narrative thrust and rather painfully strained attempts at humour, even by the always excellent John C. Reilly — whose character I won't divulge, just in case you really don't have anything better to do on Sunday afternoon. But I hope you do. In fact, you could fare a lot worse than staying at home and watching the DVD of The Hobbit director Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of King Kong. It is superior in every way.

My fat finger didn’t type the ‘f’ in faux. Oy!
Thanks for the reminder, I’d forgotten that SAO was opening today. I grabbed a ticket for Monday, which looks like the last showing in my area.

Cute girl, for sure. And the CGI of 1930s New York was commendable.
Darn, the trailer looks like a fun movie...
I thought about going to see it...
... but managed to squeeze an "e" in where it doesn't belong. "Faux pas" is masculine, hence:
Une petit faux pas.
And, yes: I do have too much time on my hands!

Favorite lines from the king of King Kong movies:
Native chief (translated): “Look at the golden woman”
Carl Denham: “Yeah, blonds are scarce around here”
