I loved King Kong. I saw it Christmas Day, and though it was 3 hours long, it moved pretty quickly. I remember looking at my watch, and couldn't believe that I was in there for 2 1/2 hours, that time just flew by.
King Kong has always been one of my favorite love stories, and favorite movies, but this depiction of the movie finally shows the indepth relationship between the 2. It won't be up for best picture because the story has been done twice already, but it will probably be up for a few special effects awards when the movie award shows start rolling around. A far cry from the toy Kong in the original, or the stiff in the monkey suit for the 1st remake.
Naomi Watts did a good job, but not better than her predecessor's, and Beans you're right, Kong must've had some brother in him, because he was a arse kicking muthaphugga.
If you like good movies, you should view this one in the theather. I don't think it will have the same effect at home, as it will in the auditorium. Again, it moves really fast, there's plenty of action, and quite a few laughs. You don't know movie last 3 hours, trust me, and I caught the 8:15 PM show.
NICE
