I just saw Kong and wanted to comment on it, but I went back four pages and didn’t find anything except for the "flop"discussion. Generally…
I thought it was good. The gratuitous “brontosaurus” run and the Tyrannosaurus fight were hilariously off-the-chain. His rampage was pretty neat and I found myself looking upon his plane-smashing with a grim sense of justice served.
That aside, there’s something I really want to draw attention to…:
During the bug fight, what the HELL was that thing that ate the cook/Gollum?! Christ, that thing is gonna give me nightmares! Was it supposed to be one organism? Were they a group of giant leeches? The way one of them slid down over his head made my skin crawl. Of everyone who got killed in that movie, I think that death was the worst by far. Goddamned disgusting.
