Review of King Kong

Beautiful movie. Peter Jackson knows his business when it comes to drama in fantastic realities. King Kong is a brilliant cinematic achievement. The opening scenes with the montage of the lifestyle of New York in that era is astonishing, and shines with a brutal glare that will make your eyes beg for more. I was so moved by all the excitement of the characters at the very start of the film. You really get to know them and sympathize with their dreams and their will to achieve them. Jackson's eye is implacable, and he knows how to shoot action –somebody please tell Michael Bay about it– and still make it really dramatic. That final scene at the Empire State will have you almost in tears. Yeah, the effects are far from perfect, but I think it has something to do with the fact that every effects shot is really complicated, they're not your average FX shot. The tyrannosaurus sequence is tense and amazing, but still I'd rather take Spielberg's version of the T-Rex. I don't think it's too long, considering all the drama involved and the impact it has on you. I think the duration is kinda adequate for the kind of film Jackson wanted to make. Please see this at the movies.
