I might have dozed off otherwise.
Here's a review more in line with my take.

SF Chronicle Review (Open in New Window)

The review isn't totally in error, but the reviewer IMIO is wrong. - Audiophilander 14:46:46 12/15/05 (0)
Kong may just have to pay a visit to the SF Chronicle and straighten a few folks out. The "giant penises with teeth" are obviously related to leeches; this sounds a bit like a personal problem the SF Chronicle critic may have had instead of a CGI faux pas in the film. ;^)
The additional backstory given to secondary characters adds even more humanity to the story and the exploitive nature of the Carl Denham character. Their lives did mean something, at least to me, as I actually found their sacrifices more poignant than if they were treated as merely incidental collateral loss to Denham's dreams of success.
BTW, I'll see your SF Chronicle review and raise you over a 120 from Rotten Tomatoes (nearly 85% positive):
