Blade runner is a masterpiece probably sits about right for how good it is. 2049 on the other hand is almost as good and never gets a mention. Amazing they could make something that seemed like it needed to be told 30 odd years after the original, when so many of these types of films just stink of money grabbing this one stood out as being done the right way. 

 

As an aside I think every film by Denis Villeneuve is wildly underrated. Prisoners, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario. All 9 out of 10 or better in my mind and I can't wait for Dune as a result, but I don't think he gets much praise at all. 

I watched them both for the first time back to back and came away preferring 2049 - both superb films in their own rights though. 2049 and Sicario are two of my favourite films of all time.

Kong Island's always been depicted as a place filled with prehistoric/fictitious megafauna.  I think he's supposed to be the last of his species so yeah his mum and dad would have been pretty big too you'd assume.

 

A building-sized gorilla becoming violently enamoured with a human female though?  That's what doesn't make sense.  Assuming Kong's end goal is to mate he'd surely tear her in half, literally, not in the lads lads lads sense.

Yeah all the prehistoric creatures kind of make sense if it’s a lost in time sort of place but gigantic monkeys 🐒 sorry no. 
Yeah him falling for a tiny little human blonde is weird , it’s like me falling for a little female rat 🐀

Sicario and its sequel are both good films
