3/10. Here's why:
SON OF KONG is more of a long epilogue than a sequel. Most of what happens are just the post-effects of the events from the 1st movie. In that one, KONG didn’t appear until 40 minutes in. That was fine then because it was a 100-long minute movie, but they do the same thing in this 70-long minute movie. Fatal mistake. And when KONG JR. appears, it just becomes more of the same. Except this time they wanted to add more comedy, so the tone is uneven. CARL DENHAM whines the whole movie about KONG’s death. And he helps KONG JR. saying that he owes it to the family. What was the point of all of that if he was going to cause KONG JR.’s death (as well as the island natives’) and then not feel that bad about it?!
