Beauty that killed the Beast

BRILLIANT!

I wont go on too much about the special effects, the cinematography, the amazing dinasour and gorilla fight scenes, the music, dialogues (they kept to some of the original 1939 lines, cheesy at times) I totally think this was a breath taking example of movie making at its best! It really had me gripped, despite being 3hrs 7 mins in length!.

I found that even though there were prolonged scenes between kong and Ann Darlow, the scences were very touching. The beast can not communicate to Darlow, but even she can see the 'love' in the eyes of the 'beast' for her, and that is what I found to be very touching.

I think it tells the story well of a gorilla that loves her, and the story of a woman who seems to make a beast appear beautiful just by giving him the same affection (in feeling) back. As a silent gesture in the movie says, "beautiful."

I think what works is this connection, a connection not between a human and an animal, but connection between two souls.

People say that it is trying to match the earnings of the hugly successful 'titanic' - but the downfall might be the lack of 'human emotion' - i disagree - if by the end of the movie, you do not even have a inkling of a tear, you are not human, for a movie that allegedy has grown men crying, it will do just that.

Time will tell if it can match up to 'titanic's earnings, but right now it definetly deserves to have a place in the all time top ten. I hope it does.

I am not sure that it can match the originality of the original (1939) seeing what technical capabilities they had at the time, though I will see this one more time at the cinema. Kong has to be experienced on cinema if you can. Its bigger than anything you'll see in a long long time.
