Review – King Kong (2005)

I wish I had a big-ass review for this big-ass movie. Unfortunately, all I have to say about it is rather brief. The effects were impressive, especially the re-creation of 1930s New York. The acting was good for the most part. It’s an entertaining show. The only thing that struck me as genuinely bad was the editing. In a three-hour-long movie it’s profoundly disappointing to find gaps in the plot, particularly when the immense run time included so many scenes that were either completely superfluous or more drawn-out than necessary. The result is something considerably better than the DeLaurentiis version but still not as good as the original. Mildly amusing
