King Kong:movie review

***3/4/*****
Director Peter Jackson is back with another 3 hrs extravaganza
Well the most crtically acclaimed movie of hollywood in recent times doesnot seem to meet the hype.But it had enough to grab your attention throughout

Set in the 1930s, this is the story of a young and beautiful actress Ann Darrow from the world of vaudeville who finds herself lost in depression-era New York and her luck changes when she meets an over-ambitious filmmaker Carl Denham who brings her on an exploratory expedition to a remote island where she finds compassion and the true meaning of humanity with an ape Kong. The beauty and the beast finally meet their fate back in the city of New York where the filmmaker takes and displays the ape in quest of his fame by commercial exploitation which ultimately leads to catastrophe for everyone including a playwright Jack Driscoll who falls in love with Ann and plays an unlikely hero by trying to save her from Kong and her destiny.

Performancewise Jack Black delivers good performance.Adrien broody is ok in his role.Naomi watts delivers an excellent performance.Whether its emotional or funny she rocks.
But the scene stealer is King Kong itself

If people thought that Jurassic Park adventure was the best of its type think again.The special effects are splendid and rocking than ever.Awesome and breathtaking seems to be too low keywords to explain it.Peter Jackson proves he is not limited to Lord Of The Rings triology.And there cant be end of best special effects
However the biggest drawback seems to be its length.It should have been cut short.

Inspite King Kong is a mammoth movie in terms of production and you can see the flow of money in movie
A must watch.Especially if you like special effects movies then you cant miss this one

3.75/5
