Saw it this morning....here's my take....The Good...
1. Well developed relationship between Kong and Anne Darrow...(some people in the audience openly wept at the ending)
2. Some BEAUTIFUL scenic shots...especially the ending with Kong on the Empire State Building...
3. Naomi Watts (the poor-man's Nicole Kidman)
4. LOVED the overall look of the film!!!
5. Some great CGI scenes....especially the boat landing on Skull IslandThe Bad
1. Jack Black...he can play mediocre comedy...but was entirely miscast in this role!
2. Someone explain to me who decided that Adrian Brody is a Leading man!!! Please... this guy has all the sexuality of a wet-noodle!
3. Can you say CGI....the dinosaur stampede and bug scenes were meaningless and didn't add depth to the story line other than 15-20 minutes of at best mediocre special effects!
4. Where did they dig up those natives!!!! THEY were scarier than Kong!!!!
5. And finally...HEY Peter Jackson!!!! Can you tell a story in less than 3 hrs??? I didn't think so.....
