7/10
Great Effects, OK acting, Too long to see twice

Warning: Spoilers
Overall i will come out and say I enjoyed the one hour of introduction and 2 hours of effects i saw from Jackson's King Kong. Yes of course the movie had amazing jaw dropping effects and a very strong script. Yet, I must admit something wasn't their for me. Maybe it was the fact there were unnecessary and pointless story lines and scenes. Such as the African American on the boat being the father figure for the boy. I did not see the relevance of that at all. And how many people did we see on the boat on the way their at any given time yet to me it seemed like at least 100 people died on the island. And Jack Black's quote at the end of the movie " Beauty killed the Beast" and walks away. I still don't like that being the final words of the film. Other than that, Naomi Watts was stunning and amazing in her role. Adrian Brody gave a stable performances, Jack Black gave a mildly convincing job. But the movie was still entertaining for me especially on my big screen with surround sound. Yet I do not think i will be adding it to my collection because i don't see myself watching it through its three hours any time soon
