“THIS is the way a movie should be done.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHave you ever watched the scene from The Princess Bride where the grandfather tells the kid: Itu0026#39;s got everything. u0026quot;Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love …u0026quot;. Well, in a way, thatu0026#39;s this version of KONG, and I am really happy and surprised at just how GOOD it was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTake a bit of the original Kong, mix it with one part Private Ryan, a dash of The Deer Hunter, some Monty Python, lots of Jurassic Park, a pinch of A Space Oddity and mix well with some (insert your favorite lower-key funny movies HERE). The result is a pleasing fare one can really sink their teeth into and enjoy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt has some familiar faces too, and whatu0026#39;s best about it, is that not only do they live up to their so-called stardom, but even the unfamiliar or not-yet- u0026quot;famousu0026quot; actors with smaller roles, really do a great job and sell it. At no time while you are watching this movie do you feel it far-fetched or unbelievable that Kong actually exists, and isnu0026#39;t that, in a nutshell, what all movies should aspire to – the suspension of disbelief? Mission accomplished on this one, and good job to the creators.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA definite must-watch.”
