Skull Island doesn’t even try to go the white woman on Empire State Building path but instead offers a wild, violent and funny survival monster movie with lots of monsters, action and carnage. The actors are great and create interesting characters, especially John C. Reilly rules every scene he’s in. The film doesn’t even try to be more than a huge monster mash, there are few subtle tones, but plenty of great effects, creepy beasts and locations. When it comes to a fun ride and monster screen time this film wipes the floor with the most recent Godzilla. It’ll be interesting to see how their big meeting will turn out in a couple of years. The post-credits scene already hints at it.
