Kong: Skull Island - better then I expected

Despite some so so reviews- I watched Kong Skull Island yesterday and I was surprised how good it was. A big improvement on the Peter Jackson "Kong" and possibly the best Kong I've seen since the original.

Sure, it wasn't a perfect movie and I would have liked to know more about the Goodman character and the alpha - lead who went from cold-blooded mercenary to righteous hero in a matter of seconds...- But there was a lot to like.

I liked how the mayhem was totally over the top.
The creatures were very creepy, especially that giant spider. Excellent CGI.
Kong was a believable combo of animal rage and intelligence.
I liked that flammable "graveyard" and when the creature went there to vomit up a victim - I couldn't believe what I was seeing! (Kids stay away from this movie)
I liked how the creatures were camouflaged by the surrounding nature and would suddenly appear.

John C Reilly was perfectly cast and stole the show.

Not a movie for all, but I really enjoyed it.
