While Jackson's Kong had some great scenes, to me it ultimately felt like a 2 hour film stretched out to 3 hours with unnecessary filler. I feel like after his success with LoTR his editor was too afraid to say no to him when it became to indulging his excesses. |
It wasn't a Giant Monster movie. It was a drama that happened to have a really large ape in it. Kong was almost secondary. Peter Jackson was the star.
I'm not saying that it was bad, just that it was in a different category. I liked it when I first watched it but, holy cats, there is no way I could sit through it again. It's more like Titanic than classic Kaiju cinema.
