Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director of Kong: Skull Island, has been vocal about his distaste for a certain YouTube channel that pointed out gripes in his film. ::cough:: Cinema Sins ::cough::
Check out Vogt-Roberts’ tweets as he gives them a taste of their own medicine by picking their video apart.
Things like Cinema Sins simply suck the life blood of other people and are often just wrong about intent or how cinema works. It's terrible.

Anyway, another entertainment channel, ScreenJunkies, has released a new Honest Trailers video, and yes, it’s for Kong: Skull Island. What makes this one particular special is that they were able to bring Vogt-Roberts on board to give his own criticisms about his film.
The video goes about its usual self as it pokes fun at the film until Vogt-Roberts disrupts it to give his own critical take. That’s pretty awesome to see a director open about his film’s flaws. These include the structural problems, the jam-packed cast, and setting up the film with the cast together only to have them separated ten minutes later.
However, there’s one thing that Vogt-Roberts will defend, and that’s the numbers of helicopters. One reason? Who wants to pay money for a King Kong film to not see him destroy helicopters from the sky?
With Kong: Skull Island now available on home video, the next film to anticipate in theaters is Godzilla: King of the Monsters. That one is expected to be released on March 22, 2019.
