Here's hoping it's more like LOTR and less like King Kong.

I never saw King Kong. What was wrong with it?

It was eight years long and incredibly boring. Had a nice set-up, the first fifteen minutes or so were pretty promising, and the Skull Island natives were scary as all get-out....and then the rest of the movie caused me to wish I'd stayed home and had a nap instead. Yawn.

Also, it totally played up the "man is a monster, nature is fluffy and good" angle, which is a sure way to hack me off. I mean, yes, there's an element of that in the original story, but it's not the ONLY thematic element. In Jackson's version, it is. Again, yawn.
