I saw "King Kong" yesterday and was disappointed in several ways. The casting and special effects were outstanding.It is not a great film. First, it's too long. Several scenes could have been either shortened or deleted. The dinosaur chase was way too long and needed to take a break. The scene with the insects and the creatures coming from the walls was also too much and could have been deleted.I found the scene aboard the Venture too slow and talky. I commend Peter Jackson for his recreation of Times Square of the 1930's, unbelievable! The film opened with Jolson's "I'm Sitting On Top of the World". What was the significance of that song? Andy Serkis doing the motions with Miss Watts made the motions flawless, too. The near-shipwreck of the Venture was extremely well-done. The viewer feels that he's aboard ship. Good film but not a great classic!
