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.

Netflix's Skull Island is an action-packed, thrilling series that breathes new life into the King Kong franchise. Set on the mysterious island that's home to the giant ape, Skull Island follows a group of characters as they navigate the perilous terrain and fend off the dangerous creatures that call the island home.

The show introduces a diverse and intriguing cast of characters, each with their own motivations for coming to the island. Leading the way is a former British soldier, played by Sam Strike, who takes on the role of a charismatic but troubled leader. He's joined by a journalist, played by Emily Coutts, who is determined to uncover the truth about Skull Island and what really happened during the war there. There's also a group of scientists who are studying the island's unique ecosystem, as well as a band of mercenaries who are there to find something valuable.

What's great about Skull Island is that it doesn't rely solely on King Kong to carry the story. The creatures on the island are just as fascinating and exciting as the giant ape himself. From the terrifying Death Jackals to the massive Rock Lions, the island is a dangerous place filled with all manner of beasts. The show does a great job of introducing each new creature and building up the tension as the characters battle them.

Of course, King Kong is still a major presence in the show. While he's not the focus of every episode, he still manages to loom large over the proceedings. The show does a great job of showing the humanity in the giant ape, making him more than just a mindless monster. There are moments where you can't help but feel for Kong, especially as he becomes embroiled in the human drama on the island.

The show also benefits from stellar production values. The island is beautifully realized, with stunning visual effects bringing the creatures and environments to life. The action is thrilling, with expertly choreographed fight scenes and tense escapes. The show's score is also noteworthy, with a bombastic soundtrack that perfectly captures the epic scope of the story.

Perhaps the only downside to Skull Island is that it can be a bit slow at times. There are a few episodes where the pacing slows down and the characters spend more time talking than battling beasts. While these breathers are necessary to build character and context, they can feel a bit too drawn out.

Overall, Netflix's Skull Island is an exciting and well-crafted addition to the King Kong canon. Its vibrant characters, thrilling action, and beautiful production values make it a must-watch for fans of the franchise. While it can be a bit slow at times, the show ultimately delivers an entertaining and captivating adventure on the mysterious island.

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.

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.

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.
