Quite good really. Setting it in the 70s was a great idea because you get some very cool aesthetics and the Vietnam era military gear. It's a little rickety in terms of how it establishes the many groups of people involved but I appreciated their ability to make them memorable considering how many there were. They craft a distinct survival vs revenge split and just run with it.

Kong is great and shown quickly. They've got nice Skull Island monsters to overwhelm people, and I like their method of relating the mythology and hinting at unspoken backstory.

It's unfortunate that Peter Jackson's Kong was a little to bloated to recommend because it does have an edge on big monster fights. But this is a really solid adventure film and makes me happy to see where the post credits sequence will lead.
