King Kong stars a 25 foot gorilla named Kong and a bunch of smaller people. Kong kicks ass! The rest of the people... not so much. Okay, the girl kicked a little buttocks, but she's no 25 foot gorilla. The beginning is very slow and should have been cut in half. We don't care about the Depression, we came to see King Kong kick dinosaur butt!
Final score: 3 stars - the island was GREAT, the rest of the movie should have been shorter.
