We Got This Covered
Kong: Skull Island is a grand cinematic adventure powered by furry fury, as the horrors of war blend with chest-beating creature confidence. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
This highly entertaining return of one of the cinema's most enduring giant beasts moves like crazy — the film feels more like 90 minutes than two hours — and achieves an ideal balance between wild action, throwaway humor, genre refreshment and, perhaps most impressively, a nonchalant awareness of its own modest importance in the bigger scheme of things. - 80
The Telegraph
A large part of the enjoyment comes down to the sheer earth-shaking lunacy of Kong’s daily grind, even before the human intruders are factored in. - 70
Village Voice
In the struggle between sober subtext and monster-movie goofiness, the goofiness mostly wins out. - 65
TheWrap
It lacks neither fun nor polish, but it has the square tidiness of a compartmentalized fast-food meal. - 60
ScreenCrush
This is a creature feature, plain and simple — and, at least on a visceral level, a satisfying one. - 60
Time Out
For all its updated bluster, this update still can’t escape the shadow of 1933’s magical King Kong. - 60
Empire
King Kong lives! But only just. This is an uneven adventure that’s saved by the spectacle of its towering title character and the various beasts with whom he shares his island home.
