I am not usually a sucker for big box office movies, much like Star Wars, Titanic, and The Lord of the Rings. However, this time I gave in and went to see King Kong. For those of you that do not know already, the cast features Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrian Brody, and a very big monkey (not quite as big as my monkey though). Ok, that was uncalled for. Welsh didn’t find it very funny either when I said it during the movie. Anyway, the movie revolves around Carl Denham’s plot to film a new movie on a previously undiscovered island. When they get there they are rudely awakened by the native people, dinosaurs, scorpions, and of course King Kong. Don’t worry, I’m not going to give away any more of the plot. With all that crap aside I am going to have to say that I was not a big fan of this movie. I just did not find it believable in any way. I mean really would anyone ever accept some mammoth sized monkey? The movie was also three hours long. Peter Jackson obviously has an issue with time. He can’t seem to get the job done in less then three hours. I aggravated my back again from sitting in one place for too long. There were just way too many unnecessary fight scenes as well. I did not need all those extra scenes thrown in, lets just stick to the plot please. I also thought that Jack Black was the only good actor in the movie. He clearly did the best job. Brody and Watts were sub par if you ask me. So, I guess I am going to give King Kong one thumb down. Don’t let yourself get hyped up over this one.
