but ole' Moriarity on aintitcool.com was righter:
"In some ways, this is wildly undisciplined filmmaking, self-indulgent even, and I’m willing to be that six more months of post-production would have resulted in a radically different cut of the film, a tighter cut, one without quite so many narrative dead ends. Having said that, I’m happier with an uneven KONG than I have been with most other movies this year, and I suspect that most viewers will be, too... If you can look past the places where it doesn’t hang together, KONG is a tremendous entertainment, as passionate a movie as any little self-financed indie film you want to name this year."
