King Kong

Peter Jackson's remake of the original 1933 King Kong and well I really don't know what to make of it. I get that its a remake of one of the most iconic monster movies, but I do have some criticisms of it along with questions. For starters, I dont get why big monsters like women. The more I watch these movies I find it more annoying and stupid when monsters fall in love with human characters. King Kong also just suffers from an unnaturally long runtime of 3 hours along with helping set up modern monster movie gimmicks of focusing on dumb human drama and having less of the actual monster. That being said though I did like all of the action sequences along with them making Kong cool, somber and like a dark misunderstood protector. Also it does actually have a solid story instead of just stupid throwaways that most monster movies do. Yeah this review is hard to really pin down and get my point across because there's just a lot that happens in this movie. I like Kong and the action but it has a stupid titanic like love story that really just throws this monster movie into a weird direction. And at the same time it is a very faithful remake of the 1933 King Kong movie which does mean I'm basically criticizing that. Overall I feel like you just have to see it to really understand the feeling of this movie.
