Just a quick thumbnail from me. (I just got back from seeing it.)
TOO LONG!
Yes, I really enjoyed it, but I was exhausted by it, especially the whole Skull Island section. I think I would have been quite moved by the finale in New York, but I was just so tired out by the non-stop barrage that I was a little anxious for it to be over. I think I will like this movie more when I can watch it in sections on DVD. (Heck, chances are it will be even longer by then!)
I have always loved the Kong character, in the original movie, in the cheap Japanese epics, the TV cartoon, even the 70's remake. This version of Kong really does top them all. Just amazing. Even if the movie gave me a headache, Kong won me over all by his big hairy self. I'll probably go back in a week or two just to watch him.
In general, others have said here what I thought about the rest of the movie.
