Nice film, a bit dark in the sense of not giving enough lighting to create suspense, mystery and make it more scary. Of course it didn’t work, because they only cared on making it dark enough so they could get away with some special effects.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion.

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?
