Customer Ratings & Reviews

The story was great and the special effects were really good.

this is a good movie like all the other Kong movies

Great movie!! I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.

Good movie with lost of Kong action and great effects.

First off, I expected this movie to be good, but not better than the previous Kong movie, but man was I wrong. This film includes more action than Peter Jacksons King Kong, but also has more bland characters with little to no backstory. Luckily the great visuals and action sequences more then make up for that. For pretty much the entire movie I was out of my seat and in awe at what I was witnessing. I compared this movie to the recent Godzilla since they're both part of this cinematic monster verse that is being created. In my opinion, Godzilla was boring. I was extremely disappointed at the fact that Godzilla was hardly in the movie. This is not the case for Kong: Skull island as the giant ape was in the movie for a majority of the time. If you enjoy action movies then I definitely recommend buying this, especially in 4K.

Another movie added to awesome lines of Samuel L. Jackson.

This is a very good movie, good picture and good sound.

This is a fun take on Kong. Movie looks great in 4k.

Love the KONG movies and this 1 was enjoyable to watch

Been a fan of the monster movie genre since I was a kid.

If you are a fan of these ape this movie is must have.

A good remake of the legendary king of Skull Island Kong.

Cool good movie. If you like king Kong you'll like it

Kong is a lot of fun, and it wastes no time getting to the action. A great cast, some entertaining dialog (thank you, John C. Reilly), and amazing special fx (of course) all work well together to make for a fun ride. It is Kong, however, so don't expect a groundbreaking original story, but that isn't a bad thing here. This is exactly the movie a good Kong flick ought to be. I've watched it twice already, not too far apart, and it holds up. I should mention both times I watched it in 3D, so that might make me a little biased because personally I get way more enjoyment watching movies that way. That said, the 3D works really well for this one, and the sound is phenomenal.

This movie was ok but it did have plenty of action.

Great special effects and story. The acting was good.

Definitely entertaining and just beautiful in that 4k

Kong: Skull Island was very impressive in the movie theater. Watching it on the 4K / Oled LG TV I bought at Best Buy in February it is awesome! Set in 1972, Legendary films -- who made Godzilla in 2014 -- offers an action-packed adventure replete with a backing contemporary sound track that includes Ozzy Osbourne's "Paranoid." I thought this was the film's highpoint. Indeed, the viewer must watch the movie through the end credits to appreciate the franchise's future direction. Last, I regret not purchasing Kong in Steel Book as it included both 4K and 3-D. That said, I preordered the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Steel Book due for release next week. I cannot wait.

“Kong: Skull Island” has been generally ignored as a serious film which is a shame as it is an unexpected revelation in every aspect of filmmaking. Skillfully directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, it is by far the best Kong variant since the 1933 original, far superior to the Peter Jackson remake of 2005, with an ingenious script that creatively mates “Apocalypse Now” with the Kong original. It also boasts top-notch cinematography, beautifully shot on location in Vietnam. Even its music score is one of the best of the year. I guess merely the idea and title of the film cried out for being condemned by critics before they even saw it. It's great!

Enjoyed the film, mostly due to the Visuals (3D Version is fantastic, which I missed in theaters). The Plot is a little shakier than it's sibling movie (the spectacular 2014 Godzilla by Gareth Edwards). There are great actors in Kong, and John C Reily was particularly good, but some of the "world building" they tried to achieve connecting this film to Godzilla (and the subsequent films we'll be getting) seemed a little too predictable. Don't get me wrong - there was some nice fan service with the Monarch Corporation pulling the strings in the background, but it felt like there was just something missing, that I can't quite put my finger on. Either way, this set is still definitely worth it, to get the 3D Version and the Gorgeous 4K Version in the same package. Recommended.
