King Kong

As long as I am on my Movie-Review-Rampage, I'll just continue on with King Kong. The movie was a special effects tour de force, but as we have seen demonstrated, Peter Jackson is a fan of the longer rather than shorter film. King Kong could have been 2 hours just as easier, nay, easier, than it could three, but three it was. Every scene was about %50 as long again as it needed to be. I found myself saying in even the best scenes, "Okay, we get the point. We can all move on now." I will use this opportunity to voice my hypocritical opinion that brevity is almost always a virtue.
