Spitball Army

7.3
[blu-ray, Netflix]

Well, this turned out to be a lot of fun. The creature effects were outstanding. So what if logic and reasoning were spotty…the title character is a giant ape as tall as the Eiffel Tower!! There were nods to the earliest Kong movies (Kong in chains; Kong battles a “dinosaur”; Kong battles a water creature; Kong comes face to face with humans standing on a cliff; native tribe worships Kong), which made the film more of a sequel/homage, but that was part of the fun. Samuel L. Jackson reprises the spirit of his character from DEEP BLUE SEA. Also, watch for a clever gag featuring John Goodman and a re-charging electronic camera flash attachment.
