Film Analysis: Kong Skull Island

Decent Essays
Kong Skull Island is the director of The Kings of Summer. I can assure you that this film does feature some cool visuals and frenetic monster action that can definitely satisfy. A very solid acting, fast paced than before and incredible visuals that are exhilarating. However, it's thinly written script and very sloppy and poor direction cannot overcome these to be one of the better monster feature films. Poorly executed characters with no heart within, who are just attractive people who can run in slow motion and uninteresting story which is a familiar taste. All that it can offer are some cool visuals and big CGI

    In conclusion, the latest film ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ (2014) has advanced in motion picture (CGI), which made the film more realistic and fitted into pop culture. It also captured audience’s eyes in some scenes and brought to light modern society conditions relating to human corruptions. The original ‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968) script structure was not creditable and lost interest throughout the storyline, such as visual effects (CGI) and lack of performance, which lead to a parody genre film rather then being a serious science fiction genre film. There were also some unneeded characters and other storytelling methods to present the narrative because it bored the audience and made it more of a Mockumentary. The twist conflict at the…

    "Wanted" is basically from a comic book that has limited series written by Mark Miller and J.G Jones, it is about an amoral protagonist (Wesley Gibson) who is discovered as the heir of super assassin. Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions. Bekmambetov used the similar style of shots and angles with his previous movie, Night watch. It's more to wide angle (long shot), so we can see the terrifying background like one of the scenes in the torture room, where Wes has been beaten up by the butcher. Not even that, there are many special effects that Bekmambetov applies in this movie, like slow-motion with sound effects that certainly provides that "ouch" reaction from audiences.…

    The action sequences are fairly well done, but they range from 'that could have been done better' to just being downright badass. The sounds are fantastic and they will never let you forget what a dinosaur roaring in your face sounds like. The music score fits in well with the movie and the slow, piano tribute to the '93 Jurassic Park soundtrack is chilling.…

    The Abyss (1910), is a movie ahead of its time. Not only due to the erotic dance scene resembling a modern striptease, but also its plot form, which is very similar to a modern Romantic-drama: Two men fighting over one woman—one a gentleman and the other an abusive cheater. The women ends up wanting the bad boy, because although the gentleman treats her better, he’s not the one she really loves. This is one of the first movies I’ve seen from this time with such a complex story within the plot.…

    In my opinion, the purpose of the film "Curse of the Axe", appears to be an attempt to glorify the field of archaeological research. The filmmakers attempted to demonstrate that archaeologists can teach First Nations about their history. This film suggested that the Huron-Wendat had little, to no knowledge about their past. I feel that the filmmakers, even if they depicted an interesting portrayal of pre-colonial Aboriginal history, did so in a biased manner. In contrast to the last chapter of "Ontario Archaeology" which highlighted hostile relations between Aboriginals and archaeologists, the movie made it seem as if Aboriginal communities depend on archaeologists for knowledge of their ancestors.…

    Pan’s Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo (gill-yea-mo) Del Toro, is a visually striking, dark fantasy film compiled of a range of equally gruesome and intriguing scenes that address the grim realities of 1944 fascist Spain through a child’s perspective. Del Toro does not delude nor pacify the cruel reality of the narrative where he displays a society that glorifies a corrupted male-dominated society. In the ‘Final Task’ scene, Del Toro’s intertwining of the camera techniques, colour scheme, lighting, and sounds are used to express the ideas of good vs. evil, reality vs. fantasy, and the effect of war and resistance on innocent children The scene begins with a high angle over the shoulder shot of Captain Vidal looking down at Ofelia, emphasising her vulnerability and inferiority to him. To create tension between the two characters, Del Toro uses a shot reverse shot of a close up of Captain Vidal’s harshly lit face and a close up of Ofelia who disobeys his commands to leave his son.…
