Action, Packed, Adventure Film That is a Must See Event.
11 March 2017 | by stephaniemiller-44904 (Minneapolis, MN) – See all my reviews
When I saw Skull Island on opening day, I could wait to see it as I sat in my seat inside the theater. I was so epic to see this film. From scene after scene I couldn't stop watching it. I saw this film twice in one day and I have to say it was worth the watch. If you love Kong and you love movies about monsters this a ticket you can't miss out on.

The actors in this film were great especially John C. Reilly's character and is love for the Chicago Cubs baseball team. As a baseball fan I have to laugh at that. From top to bottom this film is definitely a blockbuster ticket and a great adventure to be on. When you see this film you'll enjoy the ride.
