"King Kong" - monkey talk and movie talk

[€uroMeinke]

Our audience applauded. But I agree with your assesment. I enjoyed the film and having taken the pracaution of peeing before entering the theater, I barely noticed the length. I'm not terribly fond of Jack Black either, but he seemed suited to play the role.

Skull Island was week for me in the over the top CGI effects - I can appreciate the genre but some of the stunts just made me unsuspend my disbelief for a few moments to allow the words "fake" and "Oy" to flow through my mind in much the same way the final battle did in Return of the King.

I love this version of Kong, and while I was prepared to scoff at it for trying to remake a classic, I think they did a good job and added a more interesting dimension to the film, a welcome addition to the genre.
