Saw King Kong yesterday...and WOW...
What a movie. I had heard it was good but I was unprepared for just how good it was. I took my 12 year old boy with me, and he was bawling by the end...never ever seen him come close to crying at a movie before...Peter Jackson is a genius!!!

2. Liked it except for one major thing
the scene with the dark, incessantly evil, incredibly brutal savages. I (and my eight-year-old niece) could have done without that part.

And yes, it could have been shorter.

3. Yeah that was a bit scary...but it was so well done
That my heart was pounding at the end of that section. As to its length, I though the slowest part of the movie was the beginning...the pace increased so much so that by the end I was surprised how fast the time had gone by!

4. Agree about the pacing
Once they got Kong back to New York, the pacing was fine. It was the first two hours they could have edited better.
