Unlike recent monster blockbusters like Jurassic World and Godzilla, Kong has a distinct sense of style and purpose. From it’s rocking Vietnam era rock and roll soundtrack to its breathtaking monster effects, you can tell that this is a film that came from a place of love.

For the most part, it doesn’t feel like the corporate mandated and focus tested safe blockbusters that have been dominating the multiplex for the last decade. It has a soul and a real sense of purpose.
