Skull Island

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.

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.

Skull Island, an animated adventure with annoying characters and repetitive episodes. The story is very basic with our protagonists landing on Skull Island after their ship is destroyed by a giant sea monster. Cue the large monsters, which on the whole, look amazing. However, the whole thing is let down by silly characters, who are annoying to the point you want them to get eaten by one of these giant beasts.

Granted there's some good battle sequences, but the overal story is so tedious many will never make it to episode 8.

King Kong (1933) did this 90 years ago, and it's still better than this.

This show was a lot of fun to watch and had a lot of interesting characters in it. It had humor, great action and good writing. I think people wanted more Kong but honestly they did a great job of showing us all the other creatures on skull island. And unlike the movies, the people in the show are interesting.

If you go in with expectations of just seeing Kong fight a bunch of monsters every episode then yeah you may be disappointed. But if you keep an open mind I think anyone can enjoy this. That's not to say that they don't give him screen time as there are some awesome fights with Kong. Give it a chance.

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.
