King Title

Yeah I really had to work to think that one up.

I just got back from seeing the new King Kong.

I am amazed. Not like I was after Narina but still amazed. It was a really good movie. Harryhausen would be pleased. It was a better story, and it made me cry. Not easy for the man with a heart of stone. Seeing the big guy so well defined and detailed was awesome. Andy Sirkus should get an Oscar for this as well. He really got the movements of a gorilla down. At times I really thought it was a real gorilla.

Two things that got to me though. One was the length. I am a fan of long films, the LoTR trilogy were fine at the lengths they were. I own the extended additions and they are fine as well. But Kong could have been tightened by a good 20 minutes and it might just have been a little stronger of a film. Just some scenes that they played out too much. Still worth seeing in my opinion and I still did not notice the time.

The second were the BUGS. I understand for dramatic purposes they needed bad thingies for the good guys to kill, but they did not need to make huge bugs. Least of all that huge. I am not really bothered by bugs that much, but big ones do bother me. In great number they get under my skin. These were to perfect, they looked real and thus I did not need to see them. Only in two scenes really but that was more then I needed. I know that I am whining like a mule, but this is my blog so deal with it.

I am tired now and so I must bid all good night. Tomorrow I plan on posting again.
Until then.

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!
