King Kong 
Dir: Peter Jackson
2005
**
It was far too long. Not a problem if a film is entertaining enough but Jackson let success go to his head I feel. It is pretty audacious remaking a classic like King Kong and although I wasn't against the idea, I feel his ego was the real monster here. The SFX are very impressive but in comparason to what was available back in the 30s, the original still impresses me more. Unlike the original it had little heart or charm. Also, unfinished and pointless subplots frustrate me and I think the various examples in this film actually shows up the makers as not being as clever as they seem.
