This movie is what one might call padded. Sooooooo many sequences could be half as long as they are, like the fight between Kong and the two T-rexes. It’s insane to say a fight between a massive ape and two dinosaurs on an ancient lost jungle island is five minutes or so too long but here we are.
In that way it’s kind of like a National Zero essay, like you got the point but- ANYWAY, that doesn’t make Peter Jackson’s King Kong bad. What movie starring King Kong could ever be bad? Oh wait, shit… Godzilla vs Kong sucked. But King Kong himself is fucking awesome. He’s the original and this is a faithful reverent remake of the original, if a very bloated one.
