"King Kong" Movie

On Wednesday, I saw the movie “King Kong”, which starred: Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, Andy Serkis and Thomas Kretschmann.

The storyline involved the following: “King Kong is the classic tale of beauty and the beast——only the beast may well lie within humanity. With equal parts loyalty and aesthetic enhancement, the film stays true to the 1933 version’’s timeline, following struggling vaudeville actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) who accepts a part in a film by director Carl Denham (Jack Black). They decide to film on undiscovered Skull Island and set sail (out of New York City) immediately; the director also drags along playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) to finish the script. Ann immediately hits it off with Jack, but when they arrive on the island, chief proprietor King Kong claims her for his own. Jack tries to save Ann while Carl tries to capitalize on the beast he dubs ““The Eighth Wonder of the World.”” Sadly, only Ann realizes that there’’s more than meets the eye with Kong, and she fights to spread the word before it’’s too late.”

I give the movie a “A”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn, a large soft drink and a small soft drink. The special effects were great and entertaining. It closely follows the original script with some changes.
