This time, more monsters are displayed on-screen besides Kong and his main adversary, leading to more action sequences, most in broad daylight, which is a major plus. Naturally, most of the runtime is spent with human characters who, in this case, wander around an uncharted land supposedly to perform geologic studies. The screenplays of these first two movies are pretty similar concerning their narrative structure.
Nevertheless, a small part of me had high hopes for this rewatch… If there's one thing no one can complain about MonsterVerse, it's the jaw-dropping visuals that would evolve beyond the wildest expectations as years went by, but even these didn't blow me away completely in this film. I remember feeling indifferent towards the movie since it didn't really surprise me in any aspect. Not because I deeply disliked it or anything of that level, but I never felt a strong desire to rewatch it. I watched this film at its original release date and never saw it again. After a pleasant revisit to Godzilla (2014), now comes the time for Kong: Skull Island, the second installment in Warner Bros. and Legendary’s shared cinematic universe.
