 Fans will get to make their way through Skull Island, seeing replicas of a giant Mother Long-Legs spider on their way to encounter the largest animatronic in New York City. At a towering eighteen feet, participants will have the chance to come face-to-face with the beast himself — the legendary King Kong. Taking months to create, this is Kong in his most true form yet. Kong-head made from over 350 square feet of specialized faux hair.  Taking a team of thirty three artists, the full project took over seventy days to complete. The beast acts in a very lifelike manner, as his eyes look around the room. Seeing how his mouth moves, and how he lets out large growls periodically really makes you think twice about what it would be like to be on Skull Island! I know that is a place I would definitely visit if I had the chance and this experience let me feel as if I actually had that chance. Check out what we thought of the movie here.
 KongMad2Being a King Kong fan forever this exhibit was like a dream come true. It really gave me a chance to feel first hand what it would be like to come up face to face with KONG! Bravo, Madame Tussauds, you have done it again! This one is a real gem for any King Kong fan. We also had the chance to talk with a representative from Madame Tussauds about the partnership with Kong: Skull Island, and you can check out the interview HERE and also get a sneak peek at the exhibit!

Warner Bros Presents KONG Skull Island In Theaters Now – Review #NoSpoilers

 King Kong has always been a big license in our household. From the original 1933 film to the newer adaptations, my family has always enjoyed the series. The newest addition to the franchise, Kong: Skull Island is one of the most visually impressive and fun movies to release this year. My family had the opportunity to see the film in IMAX 3D a few days ago. One word- Incredible! The wide shots of the beautiful Skull Island looked great on a large scale. It gave you the intense feeling of actually being right on the island. Skull Island is a tale of survival, and the bond between the survivors and the beast.

Kong: Skull Island pits a crew of soldiers, an anti-war photographer, a very skilled tracker, and a few scientists against a wide array of vicious beasts unseen by the world previous to their expedition. From the towering and frightening Mother Long-Legs to Kong himself, the crew is overwhelmed with danger. In one of the best films of 2017 so far, viewers will get to experience a gripping story, great performances from the main & supporting cast, and the fight sequences that make the film stand out.

The story takes place in 1973 where a former British Special Air Service Captain James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) is hired by the government agent Bill Randa (John Goodman) to head an expedition to the uncharted isle Skull Island located in the Pacific Ocean.

The action in this film begins immediately with an initial attack form Kong who towers over a hundred feet tall. There are gigantic spiders and skullcrawelers , Forbidden Zones and missing people!  I really cannot say much more without giving away the movie. It’s a Kong fan’s dream come true.
