KOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!
Ok, thats my lame joke at a famous WIlliam Shatner line uttered to a Ricardo Montalban character.
Went to see King Kong today and was VERY impressed by how good it was. Touching in a few places (although it didn't get the waterworks going for me, just a little misty eyed) and action packed (after the first hour or so). The only part of the movie which struck me as too over the top was at the bottom of the cavern (the bug scene). But the movie is good enough, that part can be forgiven. The Lord of the Rings movies are still Jacksons best (IMHO) but this one takes a close runnerup.
One thing that struck me afterward was how hard it must be to get the audience emotionally invested in a movie where the end is already known. King Kong did it the best since Titanic.
Much, MUCH better than the 1976 version.
Trivia: Anyone else catch the tip o the hat to 'Dead Alive'? ;)
