Title: Too Long but heartbreaking
Review: Peter Jackson could have told this story in less than 3 hours and there are certainly scenes that go too long, but some scenes are so heartbreaking and so beautiful that you are happy that he let you in for the whole thing. I'm talking about the scenes where Naomi Watts and King Kong are alone together - both on Skull Island and in Central Park - which just make up for the rest of the movie. Sure Adrian Brody and Jack Black are great (especially towards the end when Jack Black is in full Orson Welles mode) but this is Naomi Watts' movie.Also props for giving Andy Serkis a human character as well as the Kong movement. Now I wish that Peter Jackson would cast Serkis as MacBeth with Kate Winslet as Lady MacBeth and Vigo Mortensson as MacDuff - well one can hope.
