Donkey or King?



Went to watch King Kong with 3 Musketeers and WWW on Sunday night. It was one of slowest moving action movies I've ever seen in my life. We were probably the last few souls in KL to watch this movie.

It was more like Donkey Kong than King Kong. It took a whole hour before the ape came onto the screen....the first one third of the show was such a drag. Here's what I thnk of the show:

1. Corny.
The entire show was more comical than anything else. We found ourselves laughing through a big portion of the show. It wasn't intended to be funny but it's jsut very ridiculous
2.Warped.
Ape falling in love with a girl???? Come on.....The corniest part when he was gliding on the ice with her. Hmmm skating ape with girl in hand. Doesn't that sound stupid?
3. Ridiculous.
The ape knows how to appreciate a sunset. Sensitive, even. Well if you get more apes like that you'd put men out of a job.
4. Soppy
The ape got soppy with the girl. Sorry, I can't stand the idea of it.

The best part was of course the fighting scenes with the 3 T-Rexes. Even then the wrestle with the last T-Rex looked somewhat like crocodile wrestling. Not bad, the ape knows kung fu also.

Then the most entertaining part was with the humongous slugs and bugs. ML absolutely hates creepy crawlies and watching his reaction during this part was even more entertaining than the show itself.

Out of 4 stars, I'd rate it 2 stars.

Haha! you should send your blog-link to LCM - limchangmoh.blogspot.com - who gave it a four out of four stars rating! (he's craving for comments i know)

but yeah i agree with most of your observations.. though i did find the first hour quite intersting. at least it wasn't ridiculous and comical lik the rest. Felt like it's two movies in one.

poor King Kong. he's a victim lah.. how i wished they could change the ending!!
