Saw it. Dumb movie. Too long. Don't waste your money.
This movie was "Barney" with the special effects. Rather than devouring Ann Darrow, Kong befriends her, and you can almost hear him singing "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family......"
Guess you and some others here overlook the concept of "escapism". That's all the original Kong was; a remake of "Beauty and the Beast" in the extreme. Stop overanalyzing and enjoy the ride.
