    **CAUTION - SPOILERS** This is a rental that should be saved for a big-screen-tv - sorry, Peter Jackson. Unless you specifically want to see the Kong-sized effects in a theatre, wait for the rental. This is so long and drawn out that I was literally dozing off after the first hour, then went out for popcorn at the 2-hour mark to keep myself awake. There are so many unnecessary pauses and emotive close-ups that the first two hours drag the story into oblivion before Kong ever shows his face. Once you (finally!) arrive on the island, it turns into what looks like an attempt at "Lord of the Rings meets Jurassic Park" - slow-mo visuals, cave d

    King Kong was a pretty decent movie, however at 3 hours long quite a tiresome movie. I felt a lil tired near the end though this movie is a great aritistic endeavour. =) i recommend this movie because its entertaining but a tad long for my personal taste.

    v nice movie... really enjoy it...but rather sad when King Kong died at the end. Would rather they return him to the Mother Nature instead.

    Very well done movie, effects were awesome. Kong looked amazing. Very far fetched. Keep think yeah right. Very long looked at my watch a couple time, if you wanna see cool effects go see it. Otherwise watch for it to come out on video.

    i was disappointed.........everyone made such a big hype aout this movie so i finally decided to go watch it. first of all: needed to be cut down in length, second: better actors needed, third: less gory deaths, fourth: bugs weren`t needed except to make ppl sick to thier stomachs, and finally: the constant "every corner you turn on will result in another attack" gets REALLY annoying. all i give props to is the computer graphics, but thats not what makes a movie peter jackson!

    Adrien Brody`s role was very poorly written. The "love story" between him and the girl was completely forced and not developed in the least. The only good parts of this movie were the quiet scenes between Kong and the girl. The rest was ridiculously over the top, and the action, believe it or not, was the least entertaining part of the film. The action scenes just went on forever. An OK movie but I recommend waiting for rental.
