For those unfamiliar with King Kong, it is a story about a man destroyed by his hubris... well not really it's about a giant monkey. A giant monkey that falls in monkey love with a hot blond, and is then tragically monkey destroyed due to his touching monkey affections.
The movie was pretty good, and quite a faithful adaptation of the original. The effects were good for the most part, although WETA really do need to learn to composite. After the crapulence that were some of the terrible composites in the 20+hrs of Lord of The Rings material, you'd think that they would have pulled out the Shake manual and figured out how to colour match some of the elements before throwing them into the same scene. But I jest (well not really... stupid composites), the movie was good, as were the effects, for the most part. I recommend the movie.
