Yeah, it was terribly long but I was hard-pressed to find anything unnecessary that could have been cut. I loved all the characters so I didn't mind any of the asides. I thought all the actors did fantastic jobs too.

Yeah, though it took a bit to wrap my head around a semi-"serious" jack black. Also, Andy Serkis was great as the weirdo cook.

Yes! i was really glad to see Serkis in the flesh and not just as King Kong. We only had the DVD rented for a night but I'll buy it eventually - I want to watch the making of featurettes and see Serkis acting as Kong. That guy's one weird method actor.
Also, King Kong vs. four Tyrannosaurus Rexes was one of the best fights EVAR. When he was ripping open the last one's skull you got the impression he'd had a LOT of practice with that.

My wife thought it was the worst film ever.
She hated it so much she wouldn't even let me watch it.
May I come to your place and watch with you?

I don't know about King Kong, it was good, but very overdone. P. Jackson was trying to make the movie as epic as the Lord of the Ring movies, and King Kong just isn't like that. Also, there was too much character establishment in the beginning- they were rather simple characters and didn't need that shit.
I liked how the writers decided that since the island already has a giant gorilla, why not throw in some dinosaurs and giant bugs? It all makes the same amount of sense. The T. Rex fight scene was pretty great.
I just wish Kong got a chance to kill Jack Black's character. What was up with his last line in the movie?

You know, I had the very same thought! his character was such a shitty person, I really felt he ought to die somehow. Everything was essentially his fault.

You'd think, instead of saying, "twas beauty that killed the beast" he might have reflected back upon these events and found Kong's death to be his own damned fault.
But that wouldn't be very realistic, I guess... :P
Also: I thought this movie blew. Way too long... as someone else said, too much character development for such simple characters.
And, also, I really didn't think the acting was very good. Adrien Brody is a good actor... he did a good job. Jack Black and Naomi Watts are both so-so actors, and they both could have done a lot better.

Well, I tend to use the "reply" feature instead of the "quick reply" feature, and therefore was no longer looking at that page as I typed my response.
Also, I don't think it really matters whether or not I tag your name on there. Infact, I'm going to leave my first post just as it is...
