Well, King Kong is a great movie. I haven't seen Narnia yet but I plan to do it. I wish both movies box office success.
I had a problem with Kong on so many levels. spoilers so don't read if you havent seen...
1. Fout T-rexs can't possibly live on the top of a mountain with sheer sides.
2. one or two T-rexs would have been a fun fight four is silly and fighting swinging from vines is silly.
3. The stampede scene was cartoonish
4. The handgun the black character used in the movie wasn't actually being made until the 1970s
5. You can't shoot giant bugs off a person with a thompson sub machine gun set on full auto
6. The raptors after the stampede had a valley full of dead dinosaurs and people to eat but they keep chasing the characters
7. The woman successfully teaches Kong sign language. Ok she just teaches him one sign but in reality it takes months of work to do that with a gorilla.
8 There is so much other silly nonsense it just ruined the whole movie and I don't feel like typing it all up. If you want to suspend disbelief don't be silly try to make it conform somewhat to actual physical laws.
I want to see it but like most people I'm going to wait for the DVD and watch it in the privacy of my home on my big-screen home theater system where I can smoke a cigarette, drink a beer and pause the 3+ hour-long picture when those beers catch up to me! On top of that, I don't have to listen to a bunch of kids talking on their cell phones.
And *this* is precisely the reason ticket sales are falling.
Great? No.
