Finn M Dec 8, 2018 2/5. This disappointing sequel actually came out the same year as King Kong. This film has a much more comedic tone and they don't get to the island until the last half hour of the movie. The ending makes no sense whatsoever, but the miniatures are still really cool. See more

Finn S Sep 9, 2018 Despite having a very incomplete history and unrealistic special effects; I even liked the movie, very fun and interesting. I recommend (although there are better flames). See more

Hagrid L May 17, 2018 You got the dinosaurs. You got a monkey band. A sinking Skull Island. Funny old visuals. What else do you need?

Rey M Feb 27, 2018 It's said that writer Ruth Rose knew that King Kong could not be improved on and so went the comic route here, completed and released only nine months after the original. What she does is try to exonerate Denham's character somewhat from the gross capitalist behavior in the first, and add a touch of comedy to the son of the big ape, lessening Pop's scare factor considerably. What's achieved is a lesser affair, sure, but nonetheless familial heritage is clearly seen, which is to say "not bad." Not good, but not entirely bad either. See more

Abraham W Aug 29, 2017 Without being too cynical, "The Son of Kong" feels like a by-the-numbers sequel, made to capitalize on the success of "King Kong". The first half, featuring a broke Denham trying to get away from his Kong-related debts and a chance meeting with the guy who'd given him the map to Skull Island, is interesting, although the lightweight style is miles away from the suspense of the original. The second half needed two things: a story and stakes; instead, it plays like a cheap and pointless rehash. See more

Hermione G Mar 22, 2017 Completely unnecessary sequel but on the other hand, why not? it's amusing and technically done on the same level, even though the running time is too short. And the ending.. Why must every single Kong, big or little, die? It's unfair. Minus half-star for this. See more
