Yes, there is a wonderful movie trapped inside the bloat that is Peter Jackson's King Kong. Mind you, I've got the extended cut, which mostly compounds the problem, though I did like the added "river raft" monster scene. (I would have ditched the risible bronto-stamede and included this more suspenseful sequence.)
If I had nothing better to do, it would be tempting to assemble a leaner, meaner "phantom edit," but I imagine other fans have probably already done so.
One advantage to having this on video - I can break up viewings of it into three chunks.
