King Kong

[//\/\/]

stupidly over the top - very silly - very exciting - ludicrous - great cast - good nods to the original (and hearts of darkness) - beautiful leading lady - good monsters - love stories are rather unbelievable, the skating scene makes you want to puke (almost ruins the film) - the skyscraper scene is very vertiginous. as cured rightly says, we know what's going to happen, girls gets left for big monkey, big monkey falls for girl, big monkey loses girl, girl and big monkey end up in new york, big monkey escapes and finds girl, gets shot by biplanes and falls off empire state building. but the way the story's told is excellent.
