Review of King Kong (2005) by Averagetome — 10 May 2006
This was not what I expected. To add a cool effect to this movie, I would have made it in B&W. While the special effects to this movie were stellar, I found it annoying that Kong was first introduced nearly halfway into the movie.
The first 45 minutes are just a waste of time to watch and not really that important to the real action and body of the story. (If you get the DVD, just skip to the Skull Island scene.) The fact that Naomi Watts had a dialogue of basically screaming for the entirety of the movie set me off as well because she is a fairly good actor in reality.
Some of it was pretty gruesome which was not what I expected at all. (Such as the man getting eaten alive by the leeches before being brought down to a watery death... and the villagers.) Jack Black was totally out of character and I did not enjoy that at all.
As soon as I found out that he was going to be doing the 2006 KCA's I knew that his career was going to be officially over after doing that and this. The animation and production quality are my only two plus sides to this movie.
Get the DVD because while not the greatest on earth, it is still average and sort of worth buying.
