I can easily sum up Peter Jackson's version of King Kong in three words: longest movie ever. At some points the movie seemed longer than its three hour plus running time, and that's what made it so boring. It got exciting at times like when the actors were being chased be dinosaurs. At that point I thought that I was watching an other "Jurassic Park" movie, that was until I saw the 25 foot computer generated giant gorilla that is King Kong. The movie seemed to drag on forever from there.
I can basically sum up the plot this way: Giant gorilla meets human female. Giant gorilla falls in love with human female, and saves her from being eaten. Greedy men capture giant gorilla and bring him back to New York. Giant gorilla breaks out of chains and destroys the city until he finds the human female.
I can't tell you how it ends, because that would ruin the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. I can tell you this much, this version of Kong is a typical Hollywood action movie, its all about the effects and the CGI, and not about the actors (and I use the term loosely). I'd rather watch the original Kong, because its shorter.
I give this movie a 4 out of 10
How the rating system works:
10-9=A
8-7= B
6-5= C
4-3= D
2-0= F
