King Kong
Internet Movie Data Base link.
The bad: this movie is slow. So slow it’s boring at times. One just wants to give up and go eat something.
The good: aside from the slowness, it’s very entertaining. The effects (sound included) are spectacular; Kong has real personality and is more adept at expressing emotion than 80% of Hollywood actors. There’s a fight between Kong and three dinosaurs that is breathtaking (if you’re into that kind of thing). Except the fight lasts a good five minutes more than it should: did I say this movie is slow?
And of course, there’s Naomi Watts.
Rating: Good.
