Alright, let me just say... this movie certainly does have it's flaws. Moments where you go "yeah right".. like running in and out of dinosaur legs without catching so much as a scratch.
But then again, I am watching a movie about a giant ape, so reality isn't really supposed to be a huge factor.
I felt the movie was very well done, and yes... it was long, but I like that they didn't rush through it... that they took the time to really tell the story.
The CG was awesome. Everything looked very real except for a few quick spots. Otherwise, you really thought he was ugly, and cute.... and most of all, real.
At the end, Natalie (my fiance) actually got all emotional and upset that they'd actually kill poor Kong, rather than just take him back home and leave him.
If you can evoke emotion out of someone, then you've done your job. And they did.
I was quite impressed
