I saw King Kong last night and overall this movie was a 7.5 to an 8.

There was the makings of a classic but just too many scenes that were
drawn out and some ridiculous ones that no human could survive.

Even after 70+ years this movie is not better than the original.
Some really good fx shots and some lousy ones. Kong himself is
really good and outshines any human actor. The casting was okay but
the three leads can't hold a candle to Wray, Armstrong & Cabot.

There are cool references to the original film throughout which is a
nice touch.

The good:

Kong himself -- very impressive.

The natives -- very creepy.

The dinosaurus -- very cool

Special effects depicting 1933 NY -- very well done


The bad :

Kong vs. final T-Rex fight is way too short.

Too many unnecessary characters and dialogue with
scenes that go nowhere.

Casting is questionable but they did their best.

Watts is ok but she is no Fay Wray.


I may be in the minority but King Kong vs. Godzilla was just as fun
as this epic adventure.
