Kong: Skull Island - Kritiken

...i sig selv er King Kong et mere interessant monster end den lidt endimensionelle Godzilla, og der er ingen tvivl om, at effektfirmaet Industrial Light and Magic leverer et spektakulært skue.

...her indtager King Kong scenen i al sin storhed så hurtigt som muligt, og så er der ellers bare fuld fart på med et væld af vellykket drabelige monstre, som ikke skal afsløres her.

Arobust ripping yarn, this latest take on the story of King Kong borrows heavily from the monster movies that came before. And that’s as it should be...

...the whole film is a kind of eccentric retro-artefact with fun at the forefront of its mind: less Heart of Darkness than darkness with heart.

The monsters are brilliantly designed and skillfully animated (...), and the army of visual and sound effects artists convince you that that these CGI titans live and breathe and weigh hundreds of tons.

...an uneven adventure that’s saved by the spectacle of its towering title character and the various beasts with whom he shares his island home.

...exciting, frightening and thrill-packed.

…en snygg och ständigt underhållande monsterfilm…

Kong: Skull Island er med sin overbevisende action-CGI, gennemførte monsterdesigns og eventyrlig 70’er-stemning en af de bedste King Kong-film til dato.
