King Kong – 2005

Sure, it was beautifully filmed and all, but I found it really one-dimensional. A movie that’s 3 hours long should have more than one storyline. Plus, there was almost too much action. I realize the movie was an action/adventure movie at its heart, but it should know when enough is enough. The action sequences just went on and one and on… like the insect thing at the bottom of the canyon. The movie also tried to say a lot of things without dialog. This can be a good thing, and is certainly better than having too much dialog (a problem with many other movies), but I thought the balance was off. There also wasn’t a lot of attention paid to small details in the movie. I can’t really explain it, it’s just a feeling I had. Still, with all those reservations, it was pretty good, and worth seeing just for the eye-candy factor.
