Hey Collider Crew, I just wanted to know how do you guys tell when an actor/actress is phoning in a role. For example, I thoughtJennifer Lawrencedid a good job as Mystique inX-Men Apocalypsebut then I hear you guys saying that she wasn’t really good and that she was phoning it in.

As you probably can tell,Kong: Skull Islandis 1 of my most anticipated movies of 2017. the original 1933 film is my all time favourite film and I am also a big fan ofPeter Jackson’s. However, with Kong now being bigger than ever I was wondering will there be big monster fights. One of the greatest parts of theKing Konghistory is his fights with the dinosaurs.
