![Kong: Skull Island – A Rip-Roaring Action Adventure Fit for the King of the Apes [Review]](https://i0.wp.com/www.foxforcefivenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Kong.jpg?resize=720%2C300&ssl=1 "Kong: Skull Island – A Rip-Roaring Action Adventure Fit for the King of the Apes [Review]")
It has been just 12 years since we last saw the King of the Apes in director Peter Jackson’s three-hour epic, King Kong. For what it’s worth, the monster movie about a ginormous gorilla Jackson gave audiences back in 2005 worked great as a dramatic piece. But now, Kong is back, but in an action-oriented reboot connected to Legendary Studios’ monsters universe, which began back in 2014 with the critically praised reboot of Godzilla. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ version of King Kong in Kong: Skull Island results in a thrilling action romp that boasts an all-star cast full of colorful characters that feature their own sense of humor. And on top of that, Kong: Skull Island is also just a fun, movie going experience, watching monsters clash with each other in grand fashion on the big screen. Read more
![Rogue One: First Star Wars Spin-Off is Exciting and Somewhat Meaningful [Review]](https://i2.wp.com/www.foxforcefivenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/rogue_one_a_star_wars_story_cast-1920x1080.jpg?resize=720%2C300&ssl=1 "Rogue One: First Star Wars Spin-Off is Exciting and Somewhat Meaningful [Review]")
As evidenced by last year’s release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the galaxy, “far, far away,” reigns supreme over pop culture once again. But the next release in the Star Wars universe proves to be a rather different, and somewhat challenging, sell for audiences: a spin-off set between episodes three and four of the intergalactic saga. Without the Skywalker family or lightsabers (mostly) as the main focus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a view of the inner workings of both sides of the all-out war between the Rebellion and the Empire. Rogue One could have easily been just a “cash grab” simply by inserting the words “Star Wars” to its title, but luckily, for the most part, it isn’t. Despite some issues, Rogue One is a fine expedition filled with new characters on both sides of the conflict that feel somewhat meaningful to the Star Wars universe.
