There are some that were a bit worried at the tonal shift from the very serious first full trailer to the more humorous second one, but for me Kong: Skull Island still looks great. This final trailer, set to We Gotta Get out of This Place by The Animals, repeats lots of previously seen shots but adds a few more in a well edited two and a half minutes, including some more brief glimpses of the Skullcrawlers, creatures who also inhabit Skull Island. It also seems to reveal [POSSIBLE SPOILERS if you HAVEN’T ever seen a King Kong movie!] that Kong becomes [reasonably] friendly as he rescue Brie Larson’s character [though it doesn’t appear that he falls in love with her, which is a change from the usually lovesick nature of the giant ape].
