The acting (Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman,…) and dialogue were, for the most part, not impressive— even given the low expectations for this genre of film — but the special effects were quite well done. Brie Larson was particularly wasted — what a shame — in her role as a photojournalist travelling with scientists and soldiers to the rarely explored Skull Island in search of very large creatures. You can guess what takes place.
