Ok.
So I go to the movie after the excelent Goblet of Fire thinking about King Kong as a potential failure, and I see I was wrong.
King Kong is a disaster. Peter Jackson is the reason of the disaster. Complete and total disaster, just like LOTR 2 and 3. Yes, the movies are really bad. With exagerated scenes. And extremely long romantic, sad or death sequences. That gets old too quick ond both KK and LOTR (trilogy).
SPOILERS, MAN, DONT READ THIS IF YOU'LL SEE THE MOV-AY.You've been warned.
Ok. The film begins with the 30's crisis, everybody is poor, the streets have starving people, that is cool. The scenario is ugly, the actors act poorly, but it is passable and it gives you a sensation of "it is gonna come. But, however, anyway, Peter Jackson manages to make you start to get bored in the first part of the movie, which is empty, and involves people starving, someone trying to make the actress become a prostitute, and a failed director trying to film the movie of his life on somewhere with someone else's money. Pretty clichê, pretty obvious in the moment you see the characters. That was expected.
Unlike LOTR, there's not a strong story. So, PJ tried to keep this up with long emotional sequences, and with including characters that could add to the movie but as soon as they're described by some of the ship crew members, they vanish in the story. There's a pseudo failed writer, a sound professional who is part of a joke witht he pseudo failed writer and disappears, a boy that is mentioned to "have come from nowhere he could tel us" that lets not a second of his own background come forth even after being saved countless times (forgotten) and there's an innexpressive actress who seems to be tired of acting and makes the same nice expression every 10 seconds she's on screen. She's forgotten too, cause she wont talk much. That was for the better, I guess, cause with her mouth shut she was a poet. Not a good actress, though.
And there's the monkey. Who slips on a frozen lake. Who throws everyone up. Who rips the lady of a rope without breaking her arms. Who jumps and takes bullets every since the first second of the movie. Who kills THREEE <insert a certain colorfull word here> TIRANOSSAURS with his BARE HANDS and win without effort, killing the last one by destroying his cranium opening his mouth, without being scratched by the teeth of the animal. Oh, have I mentioned he eats the tiranossaur's tongue? yes. it does. Also, he takes TONS of bullets (monkey hide seems to be made of kevlar) and destroy trees in his path, and in the end he resist bullets from mounted cannons on jeeps and dies on the hand of pathetic airplanes. Its pathetic. There's a stupid scene where mr monkey dies slowly. I was begging for it to end by that time, and that actress kept making that face, and PJackson insisted on putting some stupid music and pretending it was Frodo being stabbed by the dark whatever from mordor once again.
Oh did I mention there's a chase under the feet of herbivorous dinossaurs who're being chased by velociraptors? And canibals who disappear also?
Peter Jackson is the master of disappearances in this movie. ARRRG!
I'm disappointed, and this is a rant.
I'm disappointed, and I want my money back.
I'm disappointed, and I'll never see a Peter Jackson Emo movie again.
