‘The Eighth Wonder of the World’ - reads the Caption. True, but with the difference - it made me wonder not eight but eighty times about one scene which could be held as a wonder rather atleast a spectacular. Fine. I wasted three hours trying to probe, not to forget mentioning the 70 bugs I spent for the theatre(and 45/- for the sweetcorn).

If Peter Jackson thought that special effects might just be enough to make a good film, he is wrong. Its just worth making a film animated rather than being soulful. Remake of the ‘1933-what they call a classic’ movie proved his faithfulness towards the original rather towards entertaining good cinema.

The romantic scenes(I am sorry, I donot know what else to call them) between King Kong and Naomi Watts were prolonged and mawkish that started testing my patience in the later half of the movie(the 1st half was much better). The special effects though falls below the line of expectations, certain scenes with respect to the dinosaurs and other blah blah creatures were well done. Logic and Pragmatism are factors that can never be equated to this movie. This movie except for some violent scenes may well be suited for kids(age 5-14), but adults – its definitely not worth it.
