I am an old man, i remember back in the eighties the King Kong tv show, really loved it.
Then i got big enough to watch the film the 1933 original on Betamax with my uncle, !What a great evening!
Of course the movie was way better than the cartoon, but... and know so many years, and some movies latter. Netflix announces this show, i didn't like the trailer...but i hate trailers anyway, last night i decide to give a shot...was really worried by the way Netflix have been treating movies and tv shows has ammunition on their cultural war.
But what a surprise their first episode was great no so good animation but the suspense and the characters were enough to make me want to see the second episode And boy was I hooked Legendary did a great job respecting the tradition of Kong while keeping it fresh enough for young people to jump onboard the Skull Island wagon.
It s has something for the legendary movie series fans, for the Old King Kong Cartoons fans, even for fans of the Calico, i know there s some of those out there.

I have to say, Skull Island is a good show, especially towards the end. The fights are good and shocking sometimes. The monster designs, even Kong's, fit greatly with what we've seen in the monsterverse and "Kong: Skull Island." The main monster villian, which I won't spoil, has a cool design that shows us that it's menacing. Despite that, I do have complaints.
Most of the episodes in the first half, excluding the first episode, are just monster chase scenes. I wish there were more character focused moments in this, which developed them further. Due to most of the episodes being about monster fights, it feels like we don't know much about the characters, besides their basic personalities. However, it's fixed for the most part in episode 6, which is why it's one of my favorite episodes.
In conclusion, the series is good when it is. I hope there'll be more of this show, because it does end on a cliffhanger. Because of it's flaws, I'll give it a 7/10.

It's called "SKULL ISLAND" not "KONG: SKULL ISLAND". Kong doesn't have a of screen time because the show, I believe, is more based off of all the wildlife on the Island rather than just Kong himself. I had fun seeing all the new canon creatures of Skull Island! That being said, Kong has some moments as well. I think what some people want is Kong constantly on the screen. The fights are fun when you see them (especially the last one. No spoilers but it was awesome). We also see that Kong has human-like compassion but at the same time can be brutal like any other gorilla if need be (which is very clever, I think, because it sorta shows he has character and personality because of how closely related he is too humans due to his species). There are some of shocking moments too (once again, no spoilers).
There are a couple problems I had with the show though. First off, the cliffhangers at the end of each episode could've been better. I'm not going to spoil the last cliffhanger, but let's just say that if season two happens the way it looks, then it would sorta betray what the show is about (you'll see what I mean once you get there). Secondly, the plot of the show seems a little rushed. I really do feel like there should've been more that made the story feel smoother. But other than that, it was pretty good.

Okay, I just binged this show because I have nothing better to do. And well, it kept me engaged enough to keep watching, but it's not exactly a masterpiece.
The animation is great. The style is bit reminiscent of a kid's cartoon, but it was definitely well executed.
The dialogue is a bit cartoony, a bit cliche. Which comes with the territory, obviously, but the trailer and subject matter gave me a different impression. The characters' reactions are played up for comedy, even in the face of terrifying situations. Personally, I think it prevents you from connecting with them. So the characters are left feeling 2 dimensional.
The storyline itself is entertaining enough, the ending did actually make me want another season.
Overall, this show is decent. Not terrible, not amazing. It doesn't really do anything new, and it doesn't do a great job of getting you invested in the characters. But I wouldn't say it's not worth watching. You should just reel in your expectations. Expect a kind of juvenile writing style with some action scattered throughout.
It did leave me wondering though, who is this show for? It's not serious and grounded enough to be targeted to adults. It's too gruesome for kids. There's not enough Kong for Kong fans. Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining enough. But I'm not confident that it'll do well, and thus, it probably won't be renewed for a second season. Because we all know what Netflix is like.

When I read all the reviews trashing this, I believed them. I almost didn't even get it. But then I thought: "How bad can it really be?" Turns out, it's not bad. The reviewers are just very wrong.
This site is just really beginning to be useless. They don't even allow most of my reviews. Then the reviews they allow, are largely wrong. Don't get me wrong, may are good. But, it's getting hard to know which reviews to believe.
Anyways, the show is about a group of people, who end up stranded on Skull Island. There are some crypto-zoologists, their family, a strange girl, and another group, of mercenaries. They must deal with the monstrous inhabitants, while seeking an escape from the island.
Story wise, I'd definitely rank this among the best King Kong stories I've ever seen. It does a good job of showing a bit about Kong's history. And the new characters, their story is good, with converging story lines.
I'm on episode 8 right now. So, not quite finished. It's been really nothing but great so far. So, it would take a really bad ending, to drop my rating from a 10. The action is great. The story is great. The monsters are great. I recommend it for anyone.
There's nothing offensive to children, or adults. I don't get the low ratings, at all. Give it a shot. The longer you watch it the better it gets.
