King Kong

[thrill]

Way to go, Peter Jackson. This could've been an incredible movie to redo with modern technology, but you had to go and miss the mark entirely.

Not to mention that we're about an hour in and all the minorities are officially dead. Now King Kong is doing some sort of ape jiu jitsu on three Tyrannosaurus Rexes.

This is a ridiculous movie.

What a sad ending.

I actually like it quite a bit more than the original, but I seem to be in the minority.

Twas beauty killed the beast.

Oh, you got that the fist time you heard it? You didn't need to hear Jack Black repeat it 100 freakin' times?

Some parts were terrific, and a lot of it, not so much. I did feel really, really bad for Kong. It was sad : (

I really hated this movie.

Peter Jackson has certainly proven that he's no Dino de Laurentis

I admit it...this movie AND the original reduce me to tears every damn time I watch them. Especially the part where they're watching the sunset and Naomi Watts looks at him and says, "Beautiful" (stop laughing, dammit!). The story itself is extremely sad, and I just can't get over it. Poor ape, why couldn't they leave him on the island?

But yeah, PJ's remake was way too long. I thought the climatic Empire State Building sequence was extremely well done, though. At least Kong took out three planes before succumbing to the bullets.
