Well - i finally saw Kong yesterday and my review is similar to others. I thought it dragged horribly during the first hour or so - and even the action sequences (dinosaur stampede - giant bug attack etc. were over done, too long and too ridiculuous).

That said, I thought Kong was AMAZING and there was such a chemistry between the giant Ape and Naomi Watts (which is really weird to say) - Watts is amazing in the film (if a bit too watery-eyed in the first hour or so. The film really only works when the watts is with Kong, then its pure movie magic.

Confession time: i actually got teary-eyed at the end.

All that praise aside: JACK BLACK SUCKS! Oh my god, why would you cast a hack wannabe comedian in a major role for a $200 million film????? He is so wooden, has three facial expressions, and literally sucks the life out of the film everytime he pops up. I can almost see the other actors (who are all good-to-excellent) cringing when he's in a scene. And, he delivers the final line of the film - BADLY! God what a mistake. If they can digitally remake the film, edit the first 90 minutes down to 20 minutes and replace Jack Black with someone (ANYONE) who can ACT! They'd have a fabulous film.
