Jeremy King (346 KP) rated Kong: Skull Island (2017) in Movies
Jun 14, 2019
This has to be my favorite king kong movie. If you watched the new Godzilla film you have to watch this film being linked by Monarch (Monarch is a secret scientific organization that first appeared in the 2014 Legendary Pictures Godzilla film).
FX are spot on and the acting was great. Also keep watching it past the ending credits.
