No you read it write, I didn’t mean King Kong. I went last night to watch what was possibly the biggest waste of three hours of my life!

I cannot be bothered to go into too much detail as that would mean I had dedicated more of my life force to Peter Jackson’s worst movie ever!

The special FX where rubbish for the most part, especially where live action and digital characters where on screen at the same time (i.e. most of the movie), the script was very weak, Jack Black was for the most part completely miss cast in the role.

The one (and I do mean only one) good point to the film (apart from the credits at the end) was the sound FX. If Weta studio’s had put as much thought and effort into the visuals as they did into the sound then it may have worked. Some of the Visuals where inventive and good, the bugs where alright also the V-Rex vs. Kong fight scene was animated great, but that scene was let down by being faaaaaaar toooooo looooong.

Possibly the biggest problem (besides being 90 minutes too long) the movie had was the audience had no emotional involvement in the movie at all and really did not care when characters (including Kong) died!

So, sorry Peter, this movie is officially now ranked as a turd along side Batman and Robin.
