Peter Jackson has officially supplanted George Lucus. With the Lord of the Rings he succeeded where lucas had failed so miserably in bringing an epic trilogy to life. With King Kong Mr. Jackson has successfully supplanted himself as the next millienium's spielberg. The movie just works on so many different levels that I don't even mind the length. Any skeptical bastards need to go see it I promise that every cent that you pay will be well worth it. Probably one of the few movies where you actually get your moneny's worth. Some of the FX and actions scenes were a bit over the top but then again that's what I like and in this day and age where it's so easy to produce big CGI FX I really is an acomplishment to actually make them amazing as they are in Kong. Oh also I recommend that your rent the game as well. Made by Michael Ancel of Raymond and beyond good and evil fame. It's really good fun game worth your time playing.
