Spoiler alert!



Watched King Kong with my mum, sis & Amos. Bumped into Serene & her bf and all of us ended up sitting in the same row. Thanks Jeremy 4 sending us home. World's small man, turns out Serene's bf also knows one my ex-colleagues from TV12.

My mum is such a film critic, she says she prefers the older King Kong version cos the remake's storyline is too complicated. Though she said the action sequences gave her quite a bit of scare. I thought the scariest part were the natives... really...

Ha, but on the whole, the show was okay. A tad disappointed but still worth the $$ if you are there 2 be entertained, which is what a movie is essentially for. Maybe i am too affected by the scriptwriting test but i think the climaxes were overdone. Like climax after climax. After a while, you just sit there & absorb the brainless action sequences.

But of cos, Peter Jackson & his team has to be credited for the special effects & the great use of actors. I love Naomi Watts! She's just a beauty in her own way..Not just another blonde actress. I thought the intensity was quite there. Imagine your heart crying out to a green screen? Or CGI-generated gorilla...Not easy siah.. what's Adrien Broody doing in this film? Feel he's abit wasted for the role? He looks such an unlikely hero..but maybe tats the draw of the film?

Then, there's Thomas Kretschmann, the captain! He's so cool... Even the young boy Jimmy, oh man i just realised it's Jamie Bell, the lead actor of Billy Elliot! Wow he's so dashing now! It was nice that Jackson had B-storylines and gave some backstories to the supporting characters. At least it wasn't just bang bang bang go!

Okay enuff of my super-unprofessional review.. Ta!
