King Kong

Topic started by pakihunk on Dec 18, 2005 9:27:31 am

What a major disappointment. The movie was no more than a roller coaster ride of special effects, nothing more. But then what was I expecting in a remake?

In any case, the movie could have been finished in a reasonable two hours instead of three. The long drawn out fight scene with huge insects was absolutely unnecessary.

Last half hour of the film was worthwhile but it is NO lord of the rings.

Well, I saw it with my wife and two kids. After the 1st 30-45 minutes, when kids kept asking where is the KingKong, it was non-stop action. Fight with Carnotaurs and insects was longish, but still thrilling.

Better than 1976 version with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange in caste that Rogers Movie on Demand showed just couple of days ago. That version was not able to show all the creatures of Skull Island. Technology did not let it so.

But this time around, it was marvellous.

I figured as much. What a waste of $260 million. It will probably do
better on merchandising, as all such ’blockbusters’ are headed any-
way.
