I am not going to say that I loved this film because that would be a lie, and I wouldn’t want to do that to you. To be honest the trailer gave hope of the film being really good, but then again I should have known better. Like most trailers this also had most of the good scenes in the trailer so no big surprise when there was nothing better in the movie.

Anyway enough said, I would suggest if you nothing better to do the you should see.

I think that this version of King Kong was one that the digital effects really payed off. If you’ve seen previous versions of King Kong then you should see this one. If you didn’t then, what are you waiting for?

I watched this from my airplane seat, and I found it quite funny. At first I was biased about this movie because usually sequels don’t do well, with the exception of a few of course. After sitting through it and convincing my self that I can read my book another time; I can honestly say that it’s not as good as the first one (but then again no one is) but it’s sure worth watching.
