Like you said they all have their moment to shine and make us feel for them. :)<br /><br />I wouldn't describe it as groundbreaking, but I think the people who wanted that simply had a different vision from the filmmakers. I think it was 100% what it was meant to be, and I'm glad that was what I wanted too!<br /><br />True, I didn't really talk about SLJ... trying to avoid spoilers I guess, but I agree he was excellent! He had some really decent development (I disagree that he was pure evil -- he thought he was doing the right thing!) But yeah he was actually significant next to the monsters!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-21983881347393838322017-03-16T10:35:42.767-04:002017-03-16T10:35:42.767-04:00It's really different from PJ's King Kong!...It's really different from PJ's King Kong!

Like it doesn't break new grounds. Or it's an old wine in a new bottle. <br />I think it was perfect. Even the ending which bothered you was solid imo. I was surprised by its immersive appeal. In spite of being just 2 hour long, it felt much lengthier (in a good way ofcourse). There were so many characters to juggle but everyone got ample amount of time to leave an impression.<br /><br />Also, about John C Reilly, I think he was great. He added the emotional appeal but it was L. Jackson who did the best work. As the strong headed Colonel, he was simply phenomenal (and pure evil). It was his villainy which actually competed with Kong rather than the Skullcrawlers 😀Mayank Nailwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688332369382148185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-86187540078774784492017-03-12T04:52:34.569-04:002017-03-12T04:52:34.569-04:00It doesn't tops the 2005 Peter Jackson starrer...It doesn't tops the 2005 Peter Jackson starrer King Kong.

Cause the 2005 version blew my mind and I'm not sure if it can get any more epic than that. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373209087743832724noreply@blogger.com
