More on Kong
Official Site
Nat had the best review I've heard so far.
Movie Notes
* The dinosaurs were better than the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
* There was more to the monkey than stop motion/ CGI. The actor's feelings came through. He should get an Oscar out ever spending a frame in front of the audience. They need to make one if need be.
* The movie drips the grand feeling that used to be so hard to find in movies.
* Several panning action shots are used. I'm sick of in the car shots and static shots, but when you through on some impossible fly-by shots that look like a video game, they make the old time shots come together.
* There are a couple of scenes where Kong is far to personified as compared to a gorilla. However, the body language, sounds and facial expressions seem to pull it off. It is a love story after all.
* You really do pence Kong's pain.
* Naomi Watts does the best job of acting I've seen in a while.
* Jack Black didn't trash the roll half as bad I thought he would.
Believability
"Best movie ever" No, I would have to disagree. It was a good movie. Believability, well, that is a relative term. How much realism do you expect with a 25 foot beast?
* Ice skating 25 foot gorilla.
* The rooftops would not have held his weight as he jumped.
* His actions are too fast in some instances. A larger creature would suffer from slowed synaptic response.
* Why the hell were the planes flying so close? Why was the third plane to be grabbed flying that close?
Director
I could go on all day. This was Peter Jackson's dream. Well, good job Peter. It was worth a career in the movie industry to come out with this film. I hope you win a bunch of your crony's awards. I hope you go on to make more films. I hope some day you top Kong. Good luck.
