Hayao Miyazaki's Mononoke-hime (1997) helped influence the design and approach of the monsters. Jordan Vogt-Roberts stated: "Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke was actually a big reference, in the way that the spirit creatures sort of have their own domains and fit within that, so a big thing was trying to design creatures that felt realistic and could exist in an ecosystem that feels sort of wild and out there, and then also design things that simultaneously felt beautiful at the same time". However, biophysical analysis of Kong and other creatures concludes that, although biophysically they are viable, the ecosystem of the island could not support them. See more »

The photograph of the 'USS Lawton' shows it to be a South Dakota-class battleship. However, it was the US Navy's official practice to name battleships after states, so it is highly unlikely that there would be a battleship named after a person. A better choice of warship type would have been a destroyer, which were, and still are, usually named after notable persons in the Navy or Marine Corps. See more »

Any movie, or anything, really, that keeps my attention is good. Although I didn't really like the orange tinge everything seems to have in the very beginning, the technical side improves dramatically as the film progresses.
It takes place in 1973, just after the Americans "abandoned" the Vietnam War (according to Samuel L Jackson's Preston Packard character). The 70's production design is good and brings me back to my childhood (the soundtrack was awesome with plenty of 70's hits), although you don't see much of the 70's vibe after the first 20 minutes or so. The CGI is very good and doesn't make me feel like I'm playing a video game. This movie is like Jurassic Park meets Godzilla and they had a baby called Platoon and it grew to become a mash-up of the three of them with its own uniqueness called Kong: Skull Island.
Just under two hours in length and "hold onto your butts" and watch the credits.
My favourite quote from the movie is, "A camera is more dangerous than a gun." Seems like SLJ get's all the good lines.
