King Kong 2005 is a great adventure/thriller movie. And it needed to be.
It has nothing more to show: the story is full of flaws; the characters are as shallow as possible. But action movies are not supposed have these points right.
So why care about it? Because it is three hours long. If I spend this time, I hope I get things to think about... Like "would I have done the same?" But none of that. Instead, I found myself asking "Why are all species on Skull Island giants (snakes, lizards, apes, bats, mosquitoes, centipedes, etc...) except humans?"
This movie would need major cuts like the trunk balancing scene, at least one giant insect swarm fight, and all the useless scenes with Hayes & Jimmy. Once it is two hours long, it is fine.
