An absolute cinematic disaster.

In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with the leading lady.

If exposition were a contact sport, King Kong would be banned for life.

The script for King Kong feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

If King Kong was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, King Kong.

Unpopular opinion: King Kong is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of King Kong and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in King Kong?

Look, I wanted to love King Kong. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in King Kong actually is?

Rewatched King Kong last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
