Normally I'm pretty wary of remakes as they are often pretty rubbish, and generally my opinon is proven correct, but King Kong was brilliant. I was also particularly wary of the 3 hours and 7 minutes running time but it flew by. The movie seemed to come in seven parts, the first being Carl (played wonderfully by Jack Black) searching for a new leading lady, the second on the ship, the third being the initial discovery of the wonders of the island, the fourth being them looking for Anne and her bonding with Kong, the fifth being excessive fighting scenes, the sixth is them taking Kong back to New York and the seventh is in New York when they try to put Kong on show and his escape and iconic scene at the top of the Empire State Building. Despite these clear parts to the movie it runs quite smoothly and the scenes between Anne and Kong are very moving. I have to say I cried lots at the end. And then my friend made me laugh. And then I cried again. And then she made me laugh again. And then I cried. Quite the emotional rollercoaster :wink: Yeah, my friend said she'll be having nightmares about them :lol:
