I'd like to start by saying we never wanted to see Peter Jackson's vomit of a remake, King Kong. However, my credit card company sent me the DVD as a free gift, and we took it as a sign to watch the movie and sell it if it sucks.
King Kong SUCKS.
I don't even know where to begin. Anyone who said this movie was "okay" must have watched a different movie--or was plain drunk. A movie over three hours should probably have three hours worth of material for it to be that long; King Kong could have been summarized in about 20 minutes, but dumbass P. Jackson decides to draw things out much, MUCH longer than anyone wants to watch.
This brings me to point #1: there is a scene where about eight (8) brontosauruses are running down a narrow path, running alongside some 30 "explorers" on this ancient "SKULL ISLAND." NONE of the explorers gets squooshed, even though it's terribly obvious nobody would live through this thing. The scene lasts for about 5 minutes too long and is completely unbelievable. The rest of the scenes in the jungle are even worse... they are chased, attacked, dropped, slammed, and flown, and barely anyone dies. Now I can suspend my disbelief like anyone else, but this was so ridiculous, I almost thought Peter Jackson was making fun of King Kong. Who would have thought this crap was a good idea?
Point #2: Peter Jackson knows how to make good actors seem like 10th grade drama students. You know it's bad when a 30 foot gorilla is the best actor in the whole movie.
I have many more points but don't want to think about this movie again. Please let me know if anyone out there thought this movie was worth watching. I'm so mad I wasted some three hours of my life on this movie.

I'll be sure and not add this movie to my netflix list.
Yeah, definitely glad we didn't pay for it. I seriously would have demanded my money back.
Hey Noah, why don't you put some comments on your recommended movies and finish rating them.
(I wanted top put this on Ed's blog to entice him to join)
Uh Netflix that is...
