king kong

peter jackon, overrated? i believe so. i didn’t like rings and i don’t like kong. jackson may be a wizard at organizing huge extravaganza movies, but his films contain so many over the top cheesy moments that i couldn’t help but almost gag. maybe he was trying to mimic the style of the older films, but this new version is only acceptable as a brainless adventure that forces you to disconnect from reality to enjoy it. not my piece of pie. it’s probably not a good thing when the giant insects are more exciting and scary than the eponymous featured animal.
