It is inevitable - so I might as well be the one to post it...
Goodness knows that I am looking forward to this!

I saw it last night at a screening in NY.
The first act is a slow build but once they get onto Skull Island it's EXCELLENT.
Two words of warning: SPIDER PIT. D00d, what happens ot one of the d00ds in there had me sheilding my eyes. I wont tell you but you'll know it when you see it.
Kinda long but to tell the truth the whole middle act of the movie (Skull Island) moves along so fast that you really dont nnotice the time that went by until they get back to New York. Then it's all setup for the big ending, which , despite the fact that you know how it's going to end, is still a gut punch. By this time Kong has endeared himself to you so well...
Any way not the Best of jacksons films but it was still one of the best things that I've seen all year and loads of fun. See it on a good screen with excellent sound. and remember BEWARE THE SPIDER PIT.

Saw a midnight showing of KING KONG.
Really enjoyed the experience.
I have wonder if there's anyone seeing this movie who doesn't know how it ends? I mean sure, you have to have a clue and all, but still...
A few of the special effects didn't quite work. These effects had nothing to do with KONG, he was flawless. The animators did astounding work in giving Kong's screen preformance. And the female and male lead did quite well also, seeing that they had no Kong to actually play against while they were filming.
I will be seeing it again.

After being filled with giant monkey joy, we will have to call him the Auld Gimp.

What I was expecting was a fun adventure film with heart. What I got was perhaps the most powerful movie-going experience of my life. Completely devastating. This is the saddest and darkest movie I have ever seen.
This is no monster movie. It is about man and animal. Haunting.

I want to give it a 10...but even though I liked pretty much everything, it just felt like it started a little TOO slow. Not that I won't be back to see it again...and probably again...
