Warner Bros. took an expensive risk by resurrecting (again) its mammoth monster franchises. It paid off three years ago...

(January is still a bit of wasteland, but even that’s also picking up.) Last weekend, ‘Logan’ slashed the competition. Now, a wildly expensive ‘King Kong’ reboot is hoping to crush it. Three years ago, Warner...

(At least, that’s the legend some whip-smart publicist spread to the world.) The movie is worthy of both reactions, however overstated they may be. Ducournau has created a deeply relatable...
