"Thanks for the uncalled for insults." - I was being polite, if you want insults I can oblige though.

>>> "Thanks for the uncalled for insults. Your assumptions are as off as your taste." <<<

I asked you a sincere question because there are folks around here who do "blow smoke" when it comes to reviewing movies they haven't seen; apparently they do this because they don't care for the subject matter and want to stick their two cents worth in. I wasn't judging you, just asking for more than a cursory blow-off of the movie.

>>> "I did see the film yesterday and found it utterly tiresome. The first hour was completely missable. The CGI was not entertaining to me at all. There was little interesting or to care about with the characters, it was painfully slow moving, had very little depth of story, and Kong was not particularly sympathetic. Jack Black's line at the end of the movie was completely laughable." <<<

Well you are entitled to your informed opinion even if, in my not-so-humble informed opinion you're dead WRONG! While Jack Black's performance isn't Academy Award material Naomi Watts ability to play against the CGI Kong may very well be; this was absolutely brilliant acting, IMO. Kong was seemlessly rendered, some of the best CGI work I've ever seen or could imagine. Peter Jackson has created a new benchmark for future CGI effects, in my estimation, but that's secondary to the majesty of this film.

Yes it was slow moving and probably could've used a little judicious editing, but I personally liked the longer shipboard character development because it made deaths of crewmen on Skull Island that much more poignant.

>>> "How anyone with any level of experience can be so amused by this sad effort is beyond me." <<<

Well, you know, some of us creative types do have a greater imagination, but since I have no idea what you're background for appreciating the arts is like I'll reserve judgment! ;^)
