Review of Kong: Skull Island

I bought this film because I love Tom Hiddleston, but wasn't really sure whether it would be any good. It started slowly and looked like it might follow a repeat course of many of the other King Kong films, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised that this really picked up the pace and turned into a real corker of a film. It is all about the action with not enough investment in character back stories although that may or may not be remedied in the not too distant future. If you are after a good old fashioned action romp with some nice twists to the story lines to keep the kids and yourself entertained then this is more than worth watching.
