There's plenty more to praise, but I wanted to get this down and share it. I really want to encourage everyone to go and see this in the theaters. It's truly an astounding experience.

Oh, and one inside joke. See if you can figure out what the hidden reference (not really that hidden) when Jack Black is running down the list of possible actresses to replace his lead in the taxi early in the movie. Film buffs should be able to get it right away. It's Jackson's personal tip of the hat to his hero.

I've heard nothing but praise for this film, and am looking forward to seeing it. I've also heard it's full of "in-jokes" that refer to the original film, and since I know that one frame-by-frame, it should be very entertaining. :)

I'll have to go see this. I have, after all, been referred to at times as a big ape.

They made Kong a really sympathetic character in this when he laughed at Ann doing tricks to amuse him. Very well done.

[Revelation 911]

saw it this afternoon - absolutely the best of the three renditions - very very well done and prbably one of the best films Ive seen since LOTR

Well done!

Looking forward and excellent review.

I saw the movie earlier and it was among the best made movies I have seen, but so sad that I would not recommend seeing it until after Christmas is over.

It is a downer, and though I like Jack Black, the part should have been cast IMO with a different actor. He gave the movie it's only B movie performance IMO.

Thanks for this review. I wonder if Jackson will release the DVD in two versions, an earlier, film version, and a later, extended copy?

Did you catch which scene PJ makes his cameo in? I can never seem to notice until someone points it out to me. I didn't even know he had cameos in LOTR until I watched the DVDs with the commentary and he told the audience when to look for them!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I loved the movie, and I am not the King Kong movie type. It was great!
