King Kong was actually the most boring movie I've seen in a while. I really liked the beginning of the movie, but as it went on and I realized that the first hour and a half would show the characters on a boat going to the island where they'd find Kong... I found myself watching my clock until the time the movie was up for entertainment. It took and hour and 45 minutes for them to introduce Kong, the whole reason why I wanted to see the movie, and better yet, not a whole lot of time was spent in New York... The parts with Kong in New York was better than anything on that stupid island. The island was just an excuse to show off all the cool things we could see in CG. Another thing, King Kong died like three times before he actually did die, which I didn't like... AND it seems like Jackson gets too caught up in background characters. He spent too much time developing the boy's character and the black guy who looked after him. The scenes were choppy and there was really no direction character-wise. The love story was lost in the length and Jack Black was a terrible person for the role he played... I found myself laughing at his goofy-*** when he was saying "These people died for what they believed in". Bullocks, I tell you. Damn shame, too, as I was looking forward to this movie for the longest time. two stars out of four.
