King Kong Movie Review

Advantages: lots of action
Disadvantages: too long and King Kong arrives after a while when the film begins.

...appearance of the massive beast, King Kong and I think it was totally useless to wait this long for the monster. A film is usually 1 hour and 30 minutes long but this movie had introduced King Kong like as if a movie had already ended. To be honest, a 2 hour film would be enough to watch but will viewers watch it film over 3 hours? I feel very sorry for the ones who watched it at the cinema! Nevertheless, I was thrilled at some points of the movie ...
...However, one thing that touched me about the film was when King Kong had shown love towards the women. It is like a relationship was evolving between them and at the end, I nearly went into tears after seeing the King Kong die after saving the women's life several times. ...

Not so heavy on the tail

Advantages: Good cast
Disadvantages: Bad story

...hero's jousting exploits, slows to a standstill as romantic complications sort them out into precisely the pattern you're always aware they will. There's a little playfulness left in this, but a father-and-son element also enters the picture late in the game, and Helgeland wants us to take this with deep sincerity. It's not easy to do in a movie in which medieval audiences chant "We Will Rock You" and farriers (metalworkers) include a Nike swish ...
