This Peter Jackson version of the classic story pretty much follows the classic story. Set in the 30's, troubled filmmaker gets funding for film and takes crew on voyage to hunt for mysterious Skull Island. Finds dinosaurs and King Kong, who happens to fall in love with the leading lady. Capture Kong and return to New York for broadway debut (what could go wrong). Climb Empire State Building and swipe at planes. Perhaps the most telling part of this film is that it clocks in at over 3 hours. Visually, pretty cool. Storywise... not so much.
2 stars (out of 5)
