"King Kong" - monkey talk and movie talk

I'm terribly concerned that he has taken what is a relativley straightforward dramatic action film and doubled its length without (apparently) adding anything new.

What I've seen looks great (as well it should) but King Kong isn't exactly an epic tale requiring three hours. Plus, in the trailer, Kong is shown jumping while on top of the building and doing no damage to the structure. This bothers me more than it should (I also wonder if the villagers once again stupidly build a King Kong sized door in their fortifications).

This is one I'll be waiting for the reaction to before seeing it. I did get an invite to a screening but even for free I'm not excited enough to deal with getting up to San Francisco for it.
