This was three hours well invested! The action was great and the special effects were incredible! Once the movie wrapped you actually felt rewarded for sitting through the whole thing ... not like many other movies I've seen this year where I left feeling robbed of the time I could have used for something else (damn you, Fantastic Four!). Peter Jackson proves he's a master filmmaker and deserved that $20 million dollar paycheck!… Expand

If there is such thing as a perfect movie it is this. Jackson combines amazing graphics with a true to the original story plot. The acting is so good that you won't mind the corny 30s dialouge. Aside from that the special effects are the best I have ever scene.

Peter Jackson did a masterful job in making "man more animalistic" in the movie, and "the animal more human." As you watch the movie you observe Kong becoming more humane, and Jack Black's character becoming more inhumane. For example, one of the powerful moments of this revelation occurs as Kong notes that the sunrise is beautiful, as Black's character is worried that his get-rich scheme has failed. There is definitely a political theme here as well. Jackson (though it can be argued he is just being true to the original film) pointedly shows that the human response to fear is to take a gun and shoot at what it is that scares us. In other words, before asking the relevant, necessary questions, we shoot! The best acting here is not found in word but in the eyes. The eyes of Kong, Brody, and Watts say more about what we really feel that the dialogue, which is sparse and predictable. This is one of the few criticisms I have of the movie. Another is the fact that there is a little too much "Jurassic Park" in the film. We didn't need all those prehistoric scenes. At first they added thrill and excitement, but soon became redundant. About a third of those scenes should have been on the editing floor. The final criticism I had was that awful last line spoken by Black. It was unnecessary, obvious and too cliche. Had he turned and walked away in disgust of himself it would have spoken more powerfully than that "fairy tale line." Still, all in all, I had a great time watching this movie, even if Jackson made me look at my character in light of the simple values of an overgrown silverback.… Expand

Absolutely an amazing film! Mind blowing!!I did not think 3 hours could go by that fast. Mr. Jackson really paid tribute to this film. Loved it!!!

This is what movies used to be like - true spectacles, events, escape. Now that studios will throw millions t anyone with a joke that appeals to a 13 year old (sounds vaguely like the venture capitalists in the dot-com era, frankly), it's a pleasure to go to a film that puts to shame the theaters in which it's showing. I am sympathetic to concerns that the film is too long, but have to counterpoint that Jackson expertly interrupts scenes that seem to be going too long. The death scene between Naomi Watts and Kong is worth the price of admission.… Expand

How some complain about the 3 hour length is a mystery. This is a throwback to the great movie experiences of Hollywood's Golden Era, but with special effects and characters you care about. Sit, watch, enjoy!

This is the best movie ever. Action, suspense, drama, the whole lot. For the people who say its too long, you dont know movies. You were not watching the movie, you were watching your watch. Be in the moment of the movie. You, critics, get in for free, but we have to pay up to $10. I think we got our moneys worth. Once again, best movie ever.

Bastante buena, lastima que es PG RATED 13 en E.U. porque ganaria mas dinero y merece ser vista por todos, pero su calidad es genial en todo!, Peter jack, es el mejor filmmaker de la decada!. thats all.

It is Great, see it . . you will love it, i did, it was great.

It was the best of all time.my full family loved it.we love ya peter jackson.

Excellent. incomparable. collasal. entertaining .jaw-dropping.

My favorite since LOTR Return of the King, excelent and fantastic!.

Es una de las mejores que he visto del genero de accion, suspenso, fantasia, y ademas tiene cierto nivel de drama, buenisima.

I cannot believe the amount of negative reviews this movie is getting! Take my advice: go see this movie. I'm quite confident you'll like it. I found it amazing. Too many people are saying stuff like: too long, stupid action scenes, blah blah blah. I say this: yes, it is long, but it goes by faster than you'd think, mainly because it's such an absorbing experience. The action scenes are amazing and must be seen on the big screen to be appreciated. The special FX are amazing! Go see this movie.… Expand

For my family and me this precious movie is the most amazing and enchanting, I would invite with my money all my friends to see it, because no one should loose the opportunity of enjoy it.

This is what movies are all about. The romance, the action, the drama, the excitement, its all here and shown excellantly. Peter Jackson is a fantastic filmaker and do not listen to anyone who says this movie is too long.

Long?, holes?, maybe you must see the extended version by P. Jackson, but It would be longer, but I want to see it, cause I have time to enjoy the good Art of 3, 4 or more hours, I love Kong, I love Movies.

Kong plays perfectly. A+ for realism, even though we're looking at a giant ape, the creature is captivating and believably human. Even the child like darling of Naomi Watts works to the advantage of the cast. Jack Black steals the show, expect for the last line, which although part of the original screenplay seemed contrived and out of place. Someone else should have said it. It is possible to nit-pick the the details to death, but alas, suspension of ones disbelief in not that hard when the lights are down and Kong is on the screen.… Expand

Tottu la vita esperanto a filme como este.

An amazing ride, an Spectacular journey, a Stunning adventure, susprises, love, drama...the full package.

A wonderfully made film. The scenes in New York were really splendid and although the jungle fights were a little passe, the emotional quota of the story more than made up for that. Visuals were spectacular and Kong and Darrow swooped home in an acting triumph.

Very nice storyline and CGI interaction better then its original counterpart of old.

Excellent movie. Very intense and thrilling.

WOW!!.....what an asstonishing movie. the best special effects i have ever sceene. and the empire state building was truly amazing. i feel that every person should see this movie immediatley. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT film. peter jackson has done it yet again!

A completely jaw-dropping, stupendous film.
