PROUD TO BE TRASH

Story about the giant ape living on the deserted island that manages to destroy helicopters and prehistoric lizards with only two legs and a tail isn’t something that can be viewed as a serious movie, so you shouldn’t view the newest addition to the famous script as one of those flicks.

No, „Kong: Skull island” isn’t trying to be serious. It doesn’t give the elongated foreword of the Peter Jackson’s iteration and it doesn’t waste any time. Action is violent, amusing and constant. However, even its intensity and some fresh moments can not hide the basic, retarded premise of every King Kong film made so far.

Nice touch will be the homages to its predecessors and famous movies of the  past („Apocalypse now” before all other), but the ending will also see the movie makers sinking into even more deeper trash movies crossover than ever before.

„Kong: Skull island” is a decently amusing trash blockbuster without any ambition to present itself into something more than it really is.

GRIM TRASH

American indie production is bursting inside the horror and SF genre, trying to revive the golden age of B-fantasy flicks, the '80s. It also now manages to attract the middle level of actors inside its budgets, like it did with John Goodman and „10 Cloverfield lane”.

Goodman will be strongest asset of this postapocalyptic psychological situation thriller that will revolve really slowly until the last quarter of the movie, where entire script will explode into something completely different from the anticipated closing. On the downside, subplots and action sequences won't be so tense, the rest of the cast falls behind Goodman significantly and there is a introduction to the entire franchise as well.

„10 Cloverfield lane” will surprise you with its ending, but not with the rest of it as well.
