Kong: Skull Isand

Kong: Skull Island - in which a group of adventurous scientists are enticed to a remote island is the Pacific ocean that can only be accessed in a small window of time, due to the intense storms that rage around it all the time, and the fact that it is occupied by an enormous gorilla. Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston, John Goodman and Samuel L Jackson sort of crash land, after dropping some geo-bombs on the island, upsetting the nice giant ape who lives there. So, they try to verify this theory that all of the weird dinosaurs and creatures have survived inside these "hollow earth" pockets. And then they discover John C Rielly, who was shipwrecked there 40 years ago, and he is super happy to see some English speaking people, because the islanders are kinda stiff. There are millitary guys on the expedition who are trying to exterminate nice King Kong, but he is keeping all the humans safe from the monsters that are worse than the ones from Pitch Black. Finally, Brie Larson makes friends with Kong, and the military stops trying to murder him.  The gang finally gets to leave Spider Skull Island, but without John Goodman, who has passed away. King Kong has resisted the human coup, and retains sovereignty of his Skull Island.

So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
