The following comments only represent personal opinions, if the writing is poor, please advise. "King Kong: Skull Island" is the first movie of the monster universe jointly created by Warner and Legend. The cast made my eyes shine. The male protagonist is the actor who plays Rocky in the MCU, Tom Hiddleston (Tom Hiddleston). The heroine is Captain Marvel, Brie Larson, and the colonel leading the army turned out to be Samuel Jackson, who plays Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. As a veteran Marvel fan, I am a little excited. . The plot of this "Kong: Skull Island" is also very different from that of 2005. The better part of this movie is that it gives a more detailed description of King Kong's life experience and origin. It is the patron saint of Skull Island. King Kong does not fall in love with beautiful women in this movie. There is also an easter egg at the end of the film about the emperor's plan (there is also an emperor's plan in the new version of "Godzilla" in 2014), which also successfully led to monsters such as Godzilla, and also paved the way for the formation and development of the monster universe in the future. on the way.
I still want to complain about the image of King Kong in this movie. Many of King Kong’s behaviors here make it feel more like a human being. For example, the way he stands and walks, and the image of his face is more like a human than a big one. Chimpanzees. This is in stark contrast to the image of King Kong in the 2005 movie. In comparison, the 2005 King Kong not only looks more like a gorilla in appearance, but also closer in behavior and action. The King Kong in the picture is more vivid and vivid, while the King Kong in this one is stiff.
It is worth mentioning that there are also Chinese actors in this film. Jing Tian has few scenes and few lines, but she is certainly worthy of our pride as a Chinese actor, but I don't think her acting is very good. For example, in the film It was in the wild, everyone was dressed at work, but she was dressed very fashionably, which seemed a little out of place; in the end, after taking risks for several days, everyone else was dirty all over, but Jing Tian still went to the island with just now. It's just as clean. To be honest, it's a pity that she didn't perform well. In comparison, the colonel played by the director is very good. When he and King Kong looked at each other, he showed the blood of the soldier vividly, precisely because he was a good officer, and he cherished his soldiers too much. That's why he only wanted to avenge his subordinates, so he wanted to kill King Kong wholeheartedly. I know that many people hate the colonel played by the director very much, but what I want to say is that the role played by the director is quite extreme and will make people feel disgusted, so this can only prove that the director played this character. The image is perfectly displayed, and people hate the colonel because he is so good and not because of anything else.
Compared with the movie in 2005, there are not so many original elements in this film. The most obvious one is that there are no dinosaurs, but the skull of Triceratops also indirectly shows that at least there were dinosaurs before. There are also no primitive large insects. In comparison, there are many other giant animals, such as giant spiders in the bamboo forest, giant octopuses in the water, and giant water buffalo. What I really want to complain about this place is that the King Kong in this movie doesn't eat bamboo like the one in 2005 (at least I didn't see it), he starts eating seafood (that big octopus).
There are not many scenes between King Kong and the heroine in this play, but there are also some scenes. For example, King Kong rescued the heroine who fell into the water, so the beast did not fall in love with the beauty. It is worth mentioning that the pilot during World War II gave us a more detailed understanding of the aborigines and King Kong on Skull Island.
Finally, let’s talk about the special effects. As an American blockbuster, the special effects are naturally not bad. Whether it's King Kong vs. Aircraft or King Kong vs. Octopus, or Human vs. Spider, or the last King Kong vs. Giant Lizard, as a monster-type movie, this scene is enough. In general (personal feeling) this Although "King Kong: Skull Island" is not the classic of 2005, it is also a qualified popcorn movie.
