Um, Singapore, that's right...

I am on a roll! Here is my King Kong review:

The plot to King Kong is a simple one. A giant monkey is captured and brought back to New York where he falls off the Empire State Building. I can appreciate the twelve hours it took to adapt the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but three hours of wrestling giant bugs gets old.
I crawled out of my indie hovel for the first time in a while, and remembered how good a big-budget action/adventure movie could be. If you liked Pirates of the Caribbean, Men in Black, and the Lord of the Rings, you'll probably like King Kong. The only complaint I can think of, is it was too long. I have nothing against running from giant bugs and lizards, but after a while it ceases to move along the plot and (to me) is just boring.
Why You Should See It: You want special effects, on-foot chase scenes, and it's Peter Jackson, people!
Why You Shouldn't See It: You want snappy dialogue, and a happy ending.
