Entirely disagree there. I think it's vital to the themes of the movie for Jackson's character to go off the deep end.

 

maybe, but it betrayed the "we gotta get off this island" kind of theme park ride vibe the movie had going for it. And rather than just Jackson going nuts, I just can't believe anyone followed him regardless of his rank. All bets are off when you're on freaking skull island. That and scenes where Larson threw the lighter at the explosive gas ...

That's the military for you. It's what is ingrained into a soldier's head.

Saw this today....damn that was a fun time in theaters. Definitely recommend it! I can see this have much better legs than Godzilla.

Wow nice..  so much for those 35-40 m OWS? Kong is king until Godzilla comes for him in 2020

they should have just stuck with the "2 groups trying to get off the island" rather than have Sam Jackson try and kill Kong and Hiddleston/Larson try and "save him". That was where the movie jumped the shark IMO and went from an 8 to a 6.5

 

Would you rewatch it Dajk?

61M... and they said it couldn't be done.

 

I was super hyped for it and even I didn't believe it'd open to over 40M the closer we got. I'm not totally enamored with the movie but I am super proud.

I expected a high 40's to low 50's before Friday. An extra $10 million is icing on this cake.

 

It's a fun movie, and it doesn't pretend to be anything else but a blockbuster. That's a good opening!

I was talking about the sound Kal. The cgi was good too, especially the creatures. I enjoyed the movie, too.

[Mikasa Ackerman]

Saw it last night, it was a damn fun time at the cinema. Made me doubly excited for Kong v Godzilla, also made me more interested in Vogt-Roberts' Metal Gear Solid.

[Stormagden]

Movie might have good legs too because unlike Godzilla or Logan it increaced from friday to saturday.

[Bishop54]

The after credit scene was almost cut from the film...hmmmmm. 

[Dementeleus]

I couldn't help but think about @Kalel009Shel when the whole

hollow earth concept

was revealed. 

[Goffe]

 

 

he hated the film btw

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I prefer Godzilla 2014 by a ton to Skull Island honestly.

[RobinHood26]

I found this movie to be a lot of fun actually. Its my favorite genre of course so that goes along way. I don't like saying this, but its an entetaining  "turn your brain" off movie. 

 

Nothing matches the 3 T-rek fight in Jacksons, but after one viewing I would have to give this the slightest of edges over King Kong 05, Jurassic World and Godzilla. Although I feel all 4 of these films are pretty close quality wise, Godzilla being last.

I really wish I had seen this with a more receptive and enthusiastic crowd. Everyone else were basically model theatergoers the one time I didn't want it.

 

I don't want people to start acting like apes and throwing food and making a mess but damn it, express some shock, laugh, curse in surprise!
