King Kong review
In 1944, two World War II fighter pilots, American pilot Hank Marlow and Japanese pilot Gunpei Ikari, parachute onto an island in the South Pacific after a dogfight and engage in hand-to-hand combat. The fight is soon interrupted by a giant 30 meter ape.
In 1973, Bill Randa, head of the United States government organization Monarch, plans a search for primitive creatures on the recently discovered Skull Island. He recruits a U.S. Army unit commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard, tracker and former British Special Air Service captain James Conrad, and anti-war photographer Mason Weaver. Arriving at Skull Island, Packard's men begin launching seismic explosives,
developed by Randa seismologist Houston Brooks to map the island and prove Brooks' Hollow Earth theory. The unit is then attacked by the giant ape, scattering the survivors across the island. Two groups form among the survivors, one with Conrad, Weaver, the researchers and one of the soldiers, the other with Randa and the rest.
the natives
Conrad's group encounters the local Iwi natives and an older Marlow. Marlow tells the group that the giant ape, named Kong, protects the island from predators, including a race of subterranean reptilian creatures he calls "Skullcrawlers" responsible for killing off Kong's entire species, leaving him the last of his kind. The Iwi believe that when Kong dies, a giant Skullcrawler will awaken and destroy the island.
Marlow reveals that he and Ikari became friends during their time on the island, but Ikari was killed by a Skullcrawler some time ago. While Chapman is ambushed and devoured by a Skullcrawler, Conrad's group helps Marlow finish a boat made from parts of Marlow and Ikari's downed planes. They ride downriver, losing one man to carnivorous birds, and maintain communication with Packard's group. When they regroup with Packard, he insists on searching for Chapman.
Marlow leads them through a mass grave of dinosaurs and members of Kong's family. The Skullcrawler that killed Chapman attacks them, killing Randa and others before Weaver unleashes a blast of flammable gas that kills him. Upon learning of Chapman's death, Packard reveals his plan to kill Kong and avenge his fallen men. Marlow and Brooks try to explain that killing Kong would make the Skullcrawlers run wild, but Packard refuses to listen. The groups split up, with Packard's group retrieving the weapons from Chapman's helicopter and setting a trap for Kong in a nearby lake, while the non-military personnel return to the boat.
Skullcrawler appears
As the others retreat, the giant Skullcrawler emerges from the lake, and Kong crushes Packard. The Skullcrawler fights and overpowers Kong, but in the end, the ape is victorious with the help of the humans. The survivors arrive at the rendezvous point and leave the island while Kong stoically watches.
However, Marlow is reunited with his wife and meets their son for the first time. Monarch stops and recruits Conrad and Weaver. San Lin and Brooks inform them that Kong is not the only monster king and show them archival footage of cave paintings depicting Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. The final image shows Godzilla and Ghidorah in battle.
