We watched the new Kong flick over the weekend. I think it was quite good, but given the hype, it fell short of my expectations. The start was a little slow but once they got on the boat, it got entertaining.

The movie went too long in the middle with those insects and stuff, but in general, a very well made movie. The special effects were great, I really believed the insects, the dinosaurs and of course Kong.

Naomi Watts has done well, and so has Jack Black. Adrian Brody was wasted. What was the deal with the scary tribal crap at the beginning???
