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.

Pretty much, yeah. I love some parts of it, but man, so... much... filler...
