Well, our PJ after all IS a genius. And his heart was so into King Kong, I watched him in a little interview where he admitted he's always dreamed of making King kong. Whenever an artistic genius's heart is in a project, you can bet it'll be a beautiful result.

Maybe its worth seeing or not...KK has never been my thing. It got good reviews in The Tennessean too, but that opening night gross was surprisingly low, considering the good reviews and hype the film had.

The release of this movie makes me want to see the original. When the name King Kong is refreshed in my mind, I remember first that I haven't seen the 70(?)-year-old classic, and second that Peter Jackson did a remake.

I do find movies easier to watch movies in colour, but maybe I'll rent them both when PJ's is out on DVD. Maybe dialogue and characterization will be much easier to handle for a character who can't talk as opposed to Gimli. (I'm not bitter.)

I hate you...but no, this isn't the LOTR movie forum.

But seriously, I did enjoy the King Kong. It was not the best movie (the dinosaur chase for what, 40 minutes, was absurd), but all in all I found it quite enjoyable.
