What critics compared The Land That Time Forgot to
Kong: Skull Island’s polar-opposite approach, embracing a go-for-broke retro pulp vibe that had more in common with campy 1970s Doug McClure vehicles like The Land That Time Forgot, did a lot to revitalize the nascent franchise.
Drawing from films like The Land That Time Forgot (1974), with Kong not the only oversized beast on the island, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts strikes a fine balance between action, drama and humour.
