Yet again a Giant Monster has been used as a recruitment tool for the Military Industrial Complex. The entire first thirty minutes of KONG: SKULL ISLAND is a love letter to the ameriKan war in Vietnam, with tired old Sam Jackson trying his limited best to sell this stinker. (Glaring at a giant gorilla while standing rooted to the spot amidst the destruction of a fleet of helicopters- with tons of shrapnel whizzing through the air all around him- seems to be Jackson's idea of proving himself "a tough motherf--ker." He's wrong: he simply looks like a f--king FOOL.) The computer-generated Kong is cool, but, like the cg GODZILLA of just a few years ago, he has too little to do; this is (AGAIN) a puff piece for the armed forces of the Military Industrial Complex.
