This movie was mainly boring with a hint of adventure and excitement about halfway through and near the end, where King Kong scales the tower, naturally.
As many people tell me, “A 3-hour movie that should have taken 2 hours or less to view”. The slow scenes were way to slow, making the movie seem to drag on for way longer than I was ever anticipating in a film.
The movie starts out with film makers going to an island to shoot the movie. As it turns out, Jack Black (who plays Carl Denham) is the director of the ‘film’, and he is also one of the very good actors in this film, aside from Adrian Brody (who plays Jack Driscoll) being extremely talented in this film as well.
Ann Darrow (played by Naomi Watts) is a wonderful, multi-dimensional character in this film, and Naomi Watts does a fantastic job portraying that personality.
This movie is boring for about 2/3 of the entire film, but the other 1/3 does make up for the utterly and fantastically boring parts by Peter Jackson putting as much action as he can in one segment of a film. Very nicely done.
I just think that Peter Jackson tried to hard. He made the perfect trilogy with Lord of the Rings, but what happened in this movie? This is does not feel like the Peter Jackson I met in another fantasy film before King Kong - not at all.
Maybe my standards were too high for this movie, but to me it just seemed too overdone by the media and not a very quality movie overall.
Try, try again Peter Jackson.

I felt the same way. I memorized all of the special features in the "Lord of the Rings" extended DVDs and really had high hopes for Peter. I like seeing Naomi Watts in any movie, and I'm easily impressed by computer graphics, but I was very disappointed. I keep wondering if "The Hobbit" is coming.
This is an interesting review of King king.
