I might not catch this one but someone drop spoilers for me (tags of course)
Hearing that it's a good popcorn B-movie. Glad to hear because Godzilla was boring as hell. Still gonna wait for video release though.

Sam Jackson played Sam Jackson x10 even with the mean mugs 
John C Reilly stole the show
Dr Dre and Eazy E did their thing
Dude from Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was also really good
I really didn't see the point of Loki and Larson in this tbh

The after credit tease for this connected this with Godzilla with the Monarch organization

Okay, a more expansive review.
This really is just a fukkery movie. I could say things about the plot but it doesn't really matter except for some of the 'Nam anti-war stuff being present. I thought that was a nice touch, especially with John C Reilly as a stranded WWII veteran and Sam Jackson's Colonel Kurtz-like descent into madness (although technically it's more Captain Ahab, but I wanted to stick to the 'Nam theme).
This is definitely Sam Jackson's most Sam Jackson like role in a while. At one point they're trying to convince him not to kill Kong, Brie Larson's character pleads that 'The world is bigger than us' to which Sam Jackson, in all of his Sam Jackson glory, responds with 'bytch PLEASE!'
That shyt had the entire audience in tears.
I also liked the chemistry between the dude who played Eazy E in SOC and Shea "Eli" Whigham. Even though it was mostly jokes and one-liners you kinda got into their military friendship.
Larson was hilariously bad btw. At some point in the movie there are quite a bunch of John C Reilly explaining things to her and Hiddleston and she just stares into dead space unresponsive all the time, while Hiddleston at least has the British professionalism to make the most of pretending to listen to a conversation. Larson seemed like she was in pure "I won an Oscar so now I can get paid and not give a fukk at the same time" mode. Not that Hiddleston stood out or anything, he's supposed to be a intense former-SAS tracker but outside of the opening scene (where he sports different facial hair for reasons I'm sure have to do with reshoots) he shows no intensity at all.
But of course the movie isn't about all that shyt, it's about the fukkery and it's oh so glorious. Director whoever because I forgot his name already (Vogt-Roberts? I'm too lazy to look it up) goes style over substance a lot here, but in a very Zack Snyder-esque way of using style to sell a moment. Every time Kong appears to face a human, it is being sold like "This big ass ape could murk you!", even long after it's not necessary anymore. There are tons of 70s songs being played, often over stylistically shot montages or transitional scenes. It all feels very much like he work of someone who used to direct commercials, but I don't know if he does.
Anyway, this is a movie where at some point Tom Hiddleston catches a Katana in midair while running into a green toxic gas cloud wearing a gasmask (that he put on while running and holding a katana in one hand) to start cutting up some evil ass birds in a slow-motion 300-style action sequence. It looks absolutely ridiculous and the scene ends with a full close-up of an evil ass bird being sliced in half.
You also got giant tree ant-spiders that impale dudes with their legs and of course the much featured lizard-skeleton things (Skullcrawlers) from the trailer, and all of these action moments are dope. But Kong is King of course and all of his fight scenes of which there luckily are plenty, are awesome. It isn't no Godzilla tease shyt either. The second they set foot on the island Kong comes along to fukk everybody up. He casually fights a giant octopus later on and the end fight against another big-ass monster is like all the fukkery of the final fight from Godzilla and the final fight from Jurassic World put together with the addition of wrestling psychology and makeshift weapons.
There is a moment in the fight where, and I swear this right here is absolutely 100% true, Kong attacks the other monster using a boat propeller attached to a chain like Scorpion's spear.
So yeah, I thought this shyt was fukking aweome. I hope Logan's success won't get in the way of this movie too much, because this movie needs to make enough movie to warrant the sequel they're setting up in the post-credits scene:

Hiddleston and Larson are recruited by the organization that discovered the island because there are other "kings" in the world, and they show slides and drawings of all the classic Godzilla monsters, including most importantly King motherfukking Ghidorah, and end it with a wall painting of the Gawd himself.
