In 1933, King Kong came out. This super big man with invincible jerking has changed various images on the screen for nearly a century, bringing audiences and fans a different viewing experience. This time, King Kong returns, this behemoth that walks upright, uses Kong Wu's body to play vigorous skills, and brings us a big action scene such as smashing planes with his bare hands, tearing skeleton lizards with his hands, etc., domineering max.

Although the action scenes are exciting or heart-wrenching, even though the title of the film is #Kong:Skull Island#, in terms of storytelling and plot development, the director seems to have deliberately weakened King Kong's dominance in the entire story. More, this The agile super big man is like a clue connecting the previous and the next, leading to the thinking of who is the king of the world and the dialectic of war.

I have to admit that the film's footing and starting point are good, but such a plot arrangement and reversal of priorities made me feel like I watched a fake King Kong. He walked into the theater full of expectations and stared at the screen with a loss. Always feel something is missing. Maybe it's because the expectations for the film are too high, or maybe it's because of the lack of King Kong's scenes. Fortunately, the special effects and details of the whole film are still remarkable, especially the IMAX effect. At the beginning, it is the exclusive countdown of King Kong, which makes people "enter a movie" in an instant.

Therefore, such a film with special effects that capture people's hearts is not to be missed.

Who is the king?

Waiting for you to see the difference.
