King Kong

December 11, 2005

I got to watch the premier showing of King Kong last Saturday and, boy is it action packed! This remake of the classic of the same name still has the big ape climbing to the top of the Empire State building and batting at planes but the feel of the movie is very different. Peter Jackson really put his stamp on it.

Be prepared for the length of this movie folks. It’s 3 hours long (if I remember correctly but the island action shots are great and were really well made. They had the audience gasping and screaming at the appropriate points. Have to say though that the title of the movie could have been changed to Jurassic Park 4 instead and it would be a match!

The movie will be showing in the local cinemas beginning December 14, 2005 but will unfortunately have a short showing because of the Manila Film Festival. Hope you enjoy the film
