Mini review:Kong: Skull Island

Enjoyably daft actioner with considerable directorial flair and invention lifting it above many of the same ilk. Cast are mostly there as monster fodder, but a surprising number manage to make you care about them with often just a few lines. Good period detail adds realism. The post credits sequence is worth waiting for - and is rather naughty and fun. Kong has probably never looked better and the scale from sequence to sequence seemed mostly right for a change too.
