What a mess...
It was long and boring even before they arrived in the island.And then the movie evolved into a video game.
It was like trying to pass level after level battling the threats that had the shape of almost every animal menace ever appeared in a sci-fi bi movie:
Big spiders, big ants, big scorpions, big flesh eating plants, big dinosaurs, smaller dinosaurs, big bats, they even touched "Alien" with some kind of larvae/eggs thingies. Realism? ok you do not expect much realism in a movie with all of the above, but
well it was completely unbelievable how the humans survived this hell of monsters. Not to mention the natives of the island, who apparently only worried about Kong and miraculously have survived the bazillion of the other threats.As for the characters? All caricatures. Even the bugs acted better.
The one character with some development was King Kong.I strongly recommend the 1933 movie. Less CGI but more heart.
Hell, even the Jessica Lange remake was better..

I strongly disagree with the negative comments on this site. I've seen every King Kong movie ever made and this is by far the best one. I liked the story and the actors. The gorilla looks completely authentic and I've since purchased the movie and have watched it many times. It gets better each time I see it. Great job !
