Seriously, trying to establish christian allegory in Kong is quite a stretch, don't you think? I heard no "sons of adam, daughters of eve" baloney uttered by characters from an alternative fantasy universe in King Kong, although there's an old arabian proverb about beauty killing the beast at the end that was also in the original.
Still, I'd rather not get into any religious controversy surrounding Narnia, because I thought that this was a BAD film regardless, just based on the wooden acting, fair to mediocre CGI, and the stark contrast between second unit background shots of New Zealand's beautiful landscapes with the poorly lit and dressed studio sets.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion of it, but AFAIC The Chronic Ills of Narnia still sucks pond water. - Audiophilander 20:55:49 12/26/05 (0)
