Absolutely nuts and wild but it works for me.
Kong is simply placed into a somewhat bond esk villain plan and while the human character barely have any personality, it doesn't impact the fun and sometimes weirdness of the film.
Yes, i like king kong looking like he smoked a few blunts while being mind controlled.
Also the villain looks very funny to me and his plans are insane but its so ridiculous. Idk how people dislike this one so much, its fun, crazy and a blast.(Watch my feature film https://boxd.it/cQ1mBp<b> </b>)
