King Kong remake is better than you think

Do you remember in 1933 there was a film called "King Kong", it was this amazing but also enjoyable film that show stop motion at it's best. Now fast foward to the year 2005 where this little director name Peter Jackson made this little remake called King Kong. One of my favorite things is actually the acting I love much they act thier ass off. I especially enjoy Jack Black role because this seems something different from then the loud and somewhat childish caracters he plays. I also love the visual effects they look really good. One thing though that is a flaw is that the film is too long. The beginnig and the end are long while everything in the island is in the right amount of time in my opinion.

A good tribute to the original 1933 version

Filmmaker "Carl Denham" (Jack Black) wants to make a movie at the mythical "Skull Island", but the studio won't fund the project. So, with stolen movie equipment, "Denham" plans to make the film no matter what. However, his leading actress pulled out, and he must find another who will brave the journey.

Enter "Ann Darow" (Naomi Watts), an attractive, struggling stage actress/dancer who just lost a job. She agrees to go with "Denham," who tells her that they are going to Singapore. And they head to the docks, where studio officials and police show up to arrest the director.

On the ship, "Darrow" meets the tough crew, arrogant actor "Bruce Baxter" (Kyle Chandler) who is a gentleman to "Darrow", and playwright "Jack Driscoll" (Adrien Brody), whom "Darrow" is anxious to work with.

grrrrrr Crrrrrrap

After this movie Peter Jackson Should be taken out back and shot twice, in the head like the mob do it. This movie was pure crap, if it wasn't for the bad cgi. Then it was acting by Jack Black and Adrian Brody and the seriously bad editing the only good thing that you got to stare at Naomi Watts plus it was 1 hr and 15 minutes too long. I mean if your going to make a movie that long, it better be damn good and it wasn't. Good thing it was not in the theater that long
