Anybody like the movie? Anybody think Peter Jackson needs to do a 2 hour movie for a change? Anybody think Jack Black is not a good actor when he's not funny?

LOVED the movie - and this is coming from someone who barely made it through LOTR due to pure boredom, and never saw LOTR:TT or FotR.
The long scene that starts with Naomi Watts escaping from Kong in the morning, and ends with the film crew fighting off the giant bugs, is the most intense scene from any recent movie that I can think of.
My wife couldn't watch that scene, but she cried at the ending.

[/QUOTE]Roger Ebert says, "No good movie is too long. No bad movie is short enough." I think that applies here - I didn't even think about how long it was until I went outside and noticed it was after midnight.
And of course a movie like this requires suspension of disbelief. What, you can accept that an undiscovered tribe lives on a mysterious island with oversize bugs and dinosaurs, and sacrifices humans to a giant ape, but you can't accept that the ape fights dinosaurs as he's falling off a cliff??

[/QUOTE]Overall, I thought the movie was a dud, but the scene where King Kong beats up 3 T-Rexes was mind-blowingly good. I think I liked it so much because I use DK in Smash Brothers and it felt like I was winning the fight. I loved when he made sure he broke the last T-Rex's jaw by playfully opening it and closing it.
Did anyone else think Kong looked like Clint Eastwood in the face?
