I thought it was a perfectly cromulent film, one of three very distinct segments each doing something mutually, and very distinctly right. The first segment did a lot of excellent 70's period/military/sleazyness right. Plus, will probably hold the title of best title cards this year. The middle had a lot of hosed up monster shenanigans, which only included Kong in fleeting segments. Namely, the introductory one where Kong was treated as a first in a parade of hosed up creatures, and then momentarily as a mechanic to show off giant squid fuckery. Then the third, which paid off on the giant ape fight in a fun fashion. All in all, it's a film that aims to be fun and pretty. And it's worst all you can say is that it's a dumb, fun film, which is hardly a great cinematic film. But the best about it you can say is that it only aspires to be dumb fun, not completely unlike Bay or so (but at least it's not morally questionable). So it's a double edged sword of a film, but it's one that works for me as someone who wanted to watch a giant ape punch a thing, and got a decent wilderness survival horror to go with it.
