King Kong

I saw Peter Jackson's King Kong today in Petoskey with my extended family. It was okay. I somehow got confused and thought the beginning was a really long preview for a movie I probably wouldn't want to see, until I eventually realized it was no preview -- it was the move. Some mean reviews suggested that the first 75 minutes were superfluous -- watching the movie, I kind of kept waiting for those 75 minutes to end through the whole movie.

No, that's too mean. Blogs have the tendency to bring out these kinds of comments. Really, it was fun to see the movie and a good outing. Most scenes were longer than necessary and an ending more like King Kong vs. Godzilla would have been welcome.
