I saw Kong yesterday - was taking two eleven year-olds and a seven year-old.
IMHO, this is a seriously over-hyped movie that, at 187 minutes, is an hour too long.
Great special effects, but no suspense to hold your attention. After hour two, I felt myself wishing the monkey would climb the Empire state building NOW so I could get out of the theater. Even the kids were asking when the thing would be over.
We spent about $60.00, had to deal with roudy teens in the theater and 10 minutes of advertisements BEFORE 187 minutes in a chair designed for 90 minutes of comfort.
I have a 50" TV, a microwave for popcorn and a DVR to pause the movie if I need to take a break. The movie starts when I want, and I can watch in my PJ's.
My first movie was Bambi - My last was "Kong"
I enjoyed Kong, like Narnia more.
