Re: Twice as long as it should have been and half as good.

Perhaps Jackson realized that he better gloss over getting Kong on the ship since it was already bottomed out on the rocks and the crew had jettisoned even furniture and kitchen utensiles during a high tide in an attempt to float the ship. I suppose the crew could have found deeper water, but it would have been further from shore and they would still have the problem of floating Kong safely out to the small, damaged ship and balancing the craft to prevent capsizing when attempting to crane him aboard. I'm not saying it couldn't have been done within context of the film's fantasy premise, but it would have been more interesting to see than, say, that playwrite typing for 5 minutes. Perhaps the details will show up in a 4 hour director's cut on DVD.
