Kong: Skull Island Director Joins Honest Trailers To Mock His Own Movie

Jordan Vogt-Roberts, director of Kong: Skull Island, joined Honest Trailers in a new video released today to take aim at his own movie.

The move is not entirely unheard of -- among others, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds appeared in both his own Honest Trailer and the one for Logan -- but for Vogt-Roberts, it seems likely to be a little bit of closure, after he lashed out at similar online critics like CinemaSins last week on Twitter.

"CinemaSins is surface level and holds no water from critique to critique and frequently has a disdain for how cinema itself functions," Vogt-Roberts tweeted near the beginning of a lengthy Twitter rant directed at the popular YouTube channel.

That said, Vogt-Roberts is not incapable of being self-critical: In the Honest Trailer, he critiques the film's major structural problems; that spends the whole first act bringing the cast together only to split them all apart ten minutes later, the over-complicated plot, and the crowded cast.

Still, he refuses to accept the critique that the film had too many helicopters, "because who wants to pay $15 to see King Kong not smash helicopters from the sky," per the announcement from ScreenJunkies, who produce Honest Trailers.

You can see the full video above, but presumably part of the brutally-honest nature of his critique is to stand up to his own stated beef with many online critics: that they offer no criticism of merit and only exist to complain or poke holes in things.

While Vogt-Roberts will not be taking on Kong's battle with Godzilla in 2020, the filmmaker is rumored to be attached to a forthcoming Metal Gear Solid film adaptation.

Kong: Skull Island is available now digitally and on Blu-ray and DVD.
