In all honesty, i thought the movie was great, love the special effect, surely not everyone agree, however every one is entitle to their own opinion. I'm looking forward in purcharsing the DVD too.
Seen twice in theatres... all I gotta say, is that it flew by so fast it really didn't feel like 3 hours.

KONG'S ROAR: Peter Jackson is one of the kings of the DVD extras. You lack for nothing in the new King Kong Special Edition DVD.
Critically, you get the film in a gorgeous widescreen transfer that reinforces the visual excellence that earned King Kong its three craft Oscars. And you get extensive, high quality extras that -- if you find King Kong as exhilarating as I do despite needing a few judicious trims -- are a treat to watch.
Among them is a well-organized, two hours and 40 minutes of post-production diaries, continuing the process that fans enjoyed on the Production Diaries DVD which was released along with the film last year. Each aspect of the filmmaking process is exhaustively explored. Jackson pulls back the curtain and Oz is revealed as a place of joyous, if exacting toil.
Just as interesting are the two documentaries. In 28 minutes, Kong's New York, 1933, tells the true story of New York in the early part of the 20th Century, including chapters on Vaudeville, the Great Depression (including the Hooverville shantytown in Central Park) and the building of the Empire State Building at the height of the economic collapse.
In contrast, the 17-minute Skull Island: A Natural History is a wonderfully inventive, mock scientific doc which purports to tell how this remote island, aided by thermal vents opened by earthquakes, harboured the planet's last remaining dinosaurs until it was swallowed by the sea during the 1940s. Using a methodical, scientific approach you would find in a National Geographic special, the filmmakers never deviate from their ruse -- so warn the children not to believe everything they see. Especially when it's the smiling face of Peter Jackson delivering the news.
It took heat during the holidays for failing to reach the supremo- blockbuster status that many predicted, but "King Kong" can do some supersized chest-thumping now.
Released as a single DVD and two-disc set on March 28, the Peter Jackson film logged Universal's best first-week sales in studio history, in six days selling 6.5 million copies for a take of more than $100 million.
The previous record-holder was "Meet the Fockers," a studio spokeswoman said.
The film's brisk DVD sales add to its worldwide box-office haul of $550 million. Its ticket sales make "King Kong" the fourth highest- grossing film in Universal's history, following "Jurassic Park," "E.T." and "The Lost World: Jurassic Park."
We rented it the other night. The action sequences were great, but overall I thought it was ho-hum. I can't stand Jack Black - would've been a much better movie with someone else in the lead role.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
that movie sucked balls. jack black does not fit any serious roles. he's just a big dumbass. it's like putting chris farley in a serious movie. i picked up Almost Heros instead, they had it for $9 at best buy.
