KONG: SKULL ISLAND (2017) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Tom Hiddleston | Samuel L. Jackson

[@RobTheWatcher]

The "girl" was probably the reason why this movie was able to get made. Chinese investors often want a Chinese national in the cast. In this case "Tencent Pictures" which is a Chinese production company and helped fund the movie.

[@EliCross]

Bingo.

[@barrymccaulkiner7092]

I heard Legendary Pictures is also owned by a Chinese company.

[@Retsusedit]

Chinese and American companies*

[@yogeshnag4]

[@SixFour0391]

"Bitch, Please!" Best line of the movie. "Is that a monkey?" is a good line too! And yes, Bri Larson is phenomenal in this type of role! "Did the Cubs win the World Series yet?" Why yes, sir. They surely did!!!!!!!!

[@willgenre]

this movie is legit great... story, special effects, characters, acting, action...

[@giannisksanthopoulos4300]

The guy who said "is that a monkey" the actor Toby Kebbell is actually Kong in Mocap suit

[@raghavchohda7290]

He also played Koba the ape in ceasars planet of the apes

[@rogersjgregory]

He also played Kobo in the new Planet of the Apes movies. I’ll always remember him from RocknRolla though, he was brilliant.

[@k3n12ock]

Probably my favorite Kong specific movie. Also cool how we have Loki, Nick Fury, Captain Marvel, and Casey in this, lol.

[@Ebyruchan]

also have Doom from the F4 remake hahaha

[@scotthewitt258]

And Corpsman Dey from the Nova Corps.....

[@riveraharper8166]

All that. Except Cpt Marvel

[@dimensionzone8048]

​@@riveraharper8166 Totally disagree

[@nutsfromberserk247]

You never watched king kong 2005

[@CaptainPikeachu]

The recontextualization of John Goodman’s character’s motivations after watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters are what makes this film so much more tragic. He went to Skull Island to get answers, for Lee. He died searching for answers, for Lee.

[@shahrozhassan9041]

yea, monarch legacy of monsters just gave soo much depth to his character. this is how shows and movies should connect to one another..

[@Piensamalyacertaras]

Like Cassian Andor?

[@khaoss9992]

You guys missed the after credit scene!

[@mattwilberg3076]

The thirst is strong with Kristen 😂

[@xyflames3125]

There’s a credit ending to this

[@tamizhbruce3248]

they always missing it

[@anthonyhudak9363]

In previous King Kong films, he usually has a fight with a t-rex esque dinosaur. The director wanted something different and some ideas ranged from serpentine dragons to a creature with a buzzsaw head. The skullcrawler was settled on based off a two legged lizard that actually appeared in the 1933 King Kong. It was also developed with the director's other indpirations in mind like from Spirited Away and Evangelion.

[@reheatedpizza7292]

Its really confirmed he was inspired by evangelion!? And spirited away

[@iancruz6617]

No but some war films was inspired by it if anything the skull crawler monster existed back in 1933

[@reheatedpizza7292]

I just realized John c Reilly and the guy who played his dad in step brothers are both in this 😂

[@scotthewitt258]

Me, too! I never recognized the senator before!

[@MrHale]

I also noticed Casey from Loki is in this with Loki.

[@PrinceJediMaster]

​@@MrHaleSo is Nick Fury and Captain Marvel.

[@cartoony301]

21:32 That was the most hilarious moments I saw and to see Jaby laughing his ass off of it is great 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sissyc6754]

One of the great things about this movie is that it's not dark all the time, so you get to see the incredible details of the monsters in the daylight.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Hopefully this will convince Jaby, Achara and hopefully now Kristen to watch ALL of Monarch!

[@ladyhotep5189]

John C Reilly is great in everything he plays in. Gawddamn marvel reunion. 😂

[@benvandermerwe4934]

There's a "forgotten" King Kong from 1976. The classic version, Kong falls in love, ends on skyscraper in NY. Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange, ao. Pre-CGI, actor in gorilla suit, miniature city, full size animatronic Kong hand.

[@PrinceJediMaster]

Not forgotten. The sequel to that movie is not remembered a lot. Kong survived the fall after they gave him an Open Heart Surgery. Stars Linda Hamilton from Terminator fame.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Now, watch King Kong with Jack Black.

[@k3n12ock]

I agree, however I dont think that's part of this bigger monster-verse

[@moonlitskylight5740]

​@@k3n12ock It may have been, I don't know, but then they had to make him bigger because of the fight between Godzilla and him.

[@gavinhustead30]

@@moonlitskylight5740it’s not legendary monster verse canon at all! This movie they watched now was reboot Kong

[@imthewolf1]

I like the 1976 King Kong with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange more. Not to take anything away with the King Kong with Jack Black, his was good too.

[@ProbieKnox]

@@k3n12ock, It doesn't matter.

[@Ethan0o0]

Fun Fact: Toby kebbell (The English-sounding American Soldier Person with the Billy Boy Son...) did some facial acting for Kong in this movie. He also played "Koba" in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" alongside Andy Serkis...who played King Kong in the Peter Jackson film in 2005.

[@marlonclark-ky6ub]

he also played Doctor Doom in the terrible Fantastic 4 film from 2015

[@RailfanJason]

In a world with end credits scenes and even multi-end credit scenes, how any reactors today can miss them is beyond me...

[@parsman9914]

Right?

[@jager3090]

I don't wait for post credits unless it's a superhero thing cause MCU. They popularised it. Cut these guys some slack

[@RailfanJason]

@jager3090 but most major franchises have been doing it for years now. Doesn't matter what it is, at least check before assuming.

[@kirankesarkar4826]

I probably feel these people have already watched the movie and post credits. I seriously can't believe these people haven't seen it yet. Duh

[@phoebusapollo8365]

@@kirankesarkar4826 there are films that are considered American classics and popular and lauded as the best movies on the planet, and I haven’t watched any of them. I mean u can believe what you want but being this skeptical that there are ppl out there who haven’t seen a particular movie is weird.

[@marzin137]

4:27 not a word of a lie, Steph, I did the exact same reaction. Hiddleston just has that effect on me.

[@Jordashian93]

I was kind of disappointed the first time I saw this because being a fan of Peter Jackson's King Kong, I wanted an emotional connection with the movie. But the one thing I liked was the aesthetics. But now rewatching without any expectations like that and knowing this is a part of the Monsterverse, I enjoyed this way more.

[@JohnDAmico-ci2hz]

Loved them both but Peter Jackson's movie didn't know when to stop with his fx scenes. The Trex scene against Kong with the vines in the valley went on way to long, like a LOTR movie... Was beautiful though....

[@shania991]

Yesssss thank you, thank you, thank you I am a huge King Kong fan even the older movies I feel like a little kid rn. I feel Kong deserves all the love my boy is either trying to protect himself or his home he isn’t just a mindless monster. it’s also mad impressive he is able to protect, fight, and use his surroundings all as a teen keep in mind he isn’t full grown so the fact he was solo holding it down is impressive I love Kong ONLY reacts when he needs to they came into his home causing chaos 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Nightlightknight]

You’re spot on, Jabs. The Murican guy with the hints of a British accent creeping in is none other than Toby Kebbel. You’ll know him from films like the Planet of the Apes trilogy where he voiced Koba, and he was Dr Doom in the godawful Fan4stic film, as well as Garsiv in Gyllenhaal’s Prince of Persia.

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

You guys definitely need to watch the 2005 King Kong movie, it’s such a perfect remake of the black and white King Kong film 🦍❤

[@calemobrien1139]

Kong is my favorite monster in cinema ever since i was a baby pretty much...he's the 8th Wonder of the World for a reason 😎 would love for you guys to check out the original King Kong from 1933 & Peter Jackson's from 2005...both very different but both phenomenal 😎

[@Tarz2155]

19:13 Merika 😂reminds me of the scene from "Predators 1" where Arnold empties a machine gun into the open forest.

[@ladyhotep5189]

Corey Hawkins played Dr. Dre in straight outta Compton. Not P. Diddy. ***ALWAYS CHECK FOR AFTER CREDITS DAMMIT 😂

[@donnyouttheway4091]

Nobody curses better than Sam Jackson. Bernie Mac rivals him for that top spot 😂

[@joshuacampbell7493]

There's five Marvel actors in this film. Great Cast.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

Samuel L. Jackson and Brie have done their best performances outside of the MCU; Tom Hiddleston's best work is in the MCU. So calling them “Marvel actors” is funny to me.

[@dimensionzone8048]

​​@@reynaldolorenzo8409I mean its definitely fair since thats roles thier beyond popular known for. Same as Chadwick Bowsmen, RDJ, Zoe Saldala and etc even though they all got roles way beyond these lmao

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

@@dimensionzone8048 All of them were popular before working for Marvel movies, and most of the actors best performances are outside of the MCU. Just because some people are casual and watch five movies a year, it doesn't mean they are Marvel actors when they have bigger careers outside of Marvel. A lot of them are even Oscar-Emmy’s nominees-winners, so definitely way more than just Marvel actors.

[@agresticumbra]

The wife most likely hadn't been alone, but those relationships didn't work out. Also, any individual worth their salt will choose to put their kid first over any potential relationships, so make them their focus. She may have also had the support of parents and in-laws while their son was small. Not everyone remarries, for a number of reasons.

[@alexjimenez3459]

I love watching people react to Monster verse movies cause I'm such a huge fan......also will click on any video with Kristen reacting 😍

[@Jigsaw407]

I love this movie, especially the cinematography and lighting. Every shot looks like a panel from a graphic novel. Killer soundtrack too!

[@PCnineball2333]

Yes that guy is an English actor

[@ikosta312]

There's a credit scene. Why you skip it 😢😢😢😢

[@mastershifu123]

Did they just miss the post credit scene?

[@Ebyruchan]

i was surprised how much i loved this movie, because I'm not a huge fan of King Kong or Godzilla stuff. But it was amazing, and the characters were easy to get attached to. thanks for watching :D

[@J.Castle]

I'm like nick Nolte. In tropic thunder. I bn in a helicopter in Marine training. Dropped into the ocean.. 15 yrs ago....i remember the feeling. Not the sound. Open ocean... don't drown.

[@tabazail]

Do you still have your hands?

[@prathapkutty7407]

This is easily the best looking monsterverse movie yet. The cinematography by Larry fong looks vibrant and colorful not to mention so beautiful. It helps they shot it on location in vietnam for the island parts.

[@Andy666TheBeast]

This movie is actually kind of a masterpiece I feel (at least for the genre and all the tropes, good or bad, one would expect from this type of movie). It's shot well, the action is great, Kong is awesome.

[@Hauns91]

I think this movie is completely slept on compared to the rest. The human characters always suck in this monster universe for the most part but the movies themselves are great and the cinematography is so good.

[@Iluvonix]

I think they missed the end credits

[@PourlephoneProductions]

To me, this is still the best movie from the Monsterverse! I saw it three times in the cinema!

[@rashmichiplunkar6591]

I love jaby's reaction and laugh😂

This movie's pitch meeting is amazing... like they always are!

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

Loki and Casey in the same movie.... Case from Loki tv series

[@nitinnarahari8727]

Hi Jaby!! Looks like you missed the POST-CREDIT SCENE of this movie which will lead to Godzilla Vs Kong movie.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

It actually leads into Godzilla: King of the Monsters. ;)

[@Tarz2155]

4:25 stop 😂

[@atharvalokare]

you should watch in series like : 1 godzilla 2 kong skull iland 3 godzilla king of monsters 4 godzilla vs kong

I love this movie. It’s so much fun, it’s the best out of this current “monarch” universe

[@Blaiyan]

@15:20 I thought it was smooth. Nice job anyway you tried. I think she heard you but either didn't like it or did like it and wanted to hear you repeat it. Probably the former. Try again next time for a etad.

This movie has glorious purpose....

[@mauriceharris1527]

Nah bro he played DrDre in straight out of Compton.

[@stephencoan79]

4:59 Your right, that's Toby Kebbell from Pontefract, England. Not far from where I live.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Samuel Jackson character in this movie. It's similar to captain Ahab from Moby Dick.

[@MrAwsomeness360]

6:35 While what they're doing is disagreeable on a moral level, this is an actual scientific practice called "seismic survey," which has a lot of merit. It's a solid and practical way of mapping the island in the short time Monarch has allotted for their mission.

[@runrunrun_runaway2607]

sad to know that Jaby didn't like her as Captain Marvel... she is AWESOME in it

[@Chatmama]

LOKI, CAPTAIN MARVEL, NICK FURY IN ONE FUCKING MOVIE😂

Not me just realizing dude who plays Casey in Loki is also in this.

Intro :- news anchor jaby 😂😂😂😂

[@teamgineering4195]

THEY DIDN'T REACT TO THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE, THE END CREDIT SCENE? DAMN.

[@Escuroz_8]

You guys missed the credit scene that introduced Godzilla 🫥 The scientist Bill Renda was the same in the show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters ep 1 and it was his younger version in the story from the past

[@scotthewitt258]

The ship had three Hueys and one Sea Stallion on it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure some of the twenty helicopters were CGI.....

[@CT_5555]

The end credit scene 😂

[@PrinceMandal]

FYI, the director of this movie Jordan Vogt-Roberts is also going to direct Metal Gear Solid movie.

[@harryhill8543]

I felt the tone of this movie was off because its not really a Kong movie its a straight up horror movie, they even throw in a cannibal holocost reference with the spider impalement. Its basically an adult movie which really should be aimed at kids.

[@vishalnimkar8246]

15:25 "That's why I don't mess with Kristen...!"

[@Warrenbuffet2221]

Fun fact Kong is 300% bigger in size in Godzilla vs Kong movie as he is fully grown by then.

[@hyperdemon395]

Loki, nick fury, captian marvel here in one movie

[@jaddlawand2358]

Jadd J.A.D.D. Jadd This movie and Godzilla vs. Kong are the best movies in this franchise. I love Kristen's answer if she has seen any other Kong related movie.

[@phoenixdzk]

I don't care for the monsterverse movies but this one was properly good, and it can stand on its own quite well. The 2014 Godzilla is a close second for me

[@Lancer791]

Samuel L. Jackson’s character is very similar too Robert Shaw Quint character from “Jaws”

[@svntwick]

Paranormal activity caught on 📸 15:11 😅
