I would just like to state that I am not going to give mass applause like everyone else did to the movie King Kong. In fact, I thought it was a waste of my three hours..

Yes the movie was very pretty in the use of special effects and making Naomi Watts a doe-eyed twenties beauty queen, but not even Jack Black's success in his first serious role could save this movie from the long, loooooooooooonnnng action scenes.

Now don't get me wrong, I love action movies. I love battling, fighting, pain and broken bones. I love to see people smushed by giant animals, but I don't need to see it for ten minutes....



The problem with the movie is that all of it's antagonist scenes with wildlife were so rediculous that in my mind I started going "you've got to be kidding me?" When I think that a situation can't get worse, and it does, that's good effect. But when the situation just keeps getting worse and worse, to the point where it is like, "oh come on!!!!" that is bad.

I am willing to allow myself to believe in dinosaures, and miraculous escapes. I can detatch myself from reality enough to believe that man can overcome a giant beast by merely having guts, brawn, and luck. But when the situation is so rediculous that not even the most imaginative child could believe anymore, you've lost my interest. I'm disconnected from the movie and I no longer care if the the characters live or die.

I can deal if one scene drags on, but when every (EVERY!) scene does so, I get tired, angry and disappointed.

Peter Jackson you made a beautifully unrealistic boring film....
