More time to polish the few dodgy FX shots and trim a bit.

The fight with the tyrannosaurus was awesome, and I loved the part where she tells Kong "no" and he throws a big macho hissy fit but then goes off to sulk b/c he's been whipped at that point; but at the end I sort of felt like the NYC scenes were going through the motions a bit. There were several great shots on top of the Empire St. Bldg. -- some actually gave me vertigo! -- but it didn't hit me like in the first one. But like you said about watching the first one, the end is what makes that movie & the beginning sucks. I actually read one critic who said of the original that it's not a good movie until half way through, and it's not a great movie until the last ten minutes. I'd agree with that. But Peter Jackson's is pretty much good all the way through, and the end is really good, don't get me wrong, but not as great as it seems like it could have been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1134702537758178922005-12-15T22:08:00.000-05:002005-12-15T22:08:00.000-05:00one big fat kiss to you and the twinsone big fat kiss to you and the twinsWendy Wisnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043973999410467754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1134695699153064702005-12-15T20:14:00.000-05:002005-12-15T20:14:00.000-05:00He wasn't really MIA, but Jack Black, actually qui...He wasn't really MIA, but Jack Black, actually quite good, and Naomi Watts make the larger impressions.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607786046959671496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1134694101538630152005-12-15T19:48:00.000-05:002005-12-15T19:48:00.000-05:00How was A.
