was a really good movie overall.
Casting was really good, especially with the gal.
The relationship between the gal and kong was good,
special effects were really good,
the capture of the 1930's was good,
my only complaint about the entertainment value was that it, like to many action movies anymore, has way to many clutch saves and moments, 1 after another, they're overdone.
In this movie for example you could have the fights with kong and the dinosaurs without them "all" having to fall into a ravine and swinging from vines while kong tosses the gal around like he's juggling and so on.
And some of the action is like watching a pinball in a pinball machine.
That's simply the way movies are anymore, but I've always thought less is more in that way.
My nitpicks, gets dark in a matter of almost a minute or so in 1 of the 1st ny scenes,
people who run as fast as dinosaurs amongst a stampede,
people who fall a few hundred feet and survive,
how they cover so much ground so quickly, and know where to go when they escape kong on the island.
the timeline from the show in ny to sun up on the empire state building. Unless the show started at 4 a.m.
The gal anne isn't cold in a sleeveless dress in dec. in the snow? hands and feet aren't to cold to climb what should be an icy ladder atop the empire state building?
And a big nitpick about the kingkong movies themselves, what's the wall on the island for? He's an ape, he can climb. In this movie in particular he can climb and leap right over it with ease.
