"Kong: Skull Island" is a highly entertaining creature feature, but isn't striving to be the dramatic tragedy that the original "King Kong" was, so should not be judged as such.

"Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" is too cheap to take seriously, yet not cheap enough to become a farce. It's shockingly...dull...

"Anaconda" is OK- neither inspiring the love I felt for it as a kid, nor the disdain I'm supposed to have for it as an adult.

"14 Blades" boasts an awesome Donnie Yen, a lively visual style and entertaining action sequences, but it's really awkwardly paced thanks to the bloated narrative. Too much wasted screen-time is dedicated to stuff that doesn't really matter.

Whether I stamp my seal of approval on "Ragnarok" or not, you should consider the possibility that your own definition of 'family friendly' might not coincide with the opinions of Norway, netflix or myself.

Once I got used to its 'focus', I began to enjoy "Dynamite Warrior", as silly as it could be.
