I found King Kong incredibly tedious. All of the characters were one dimensional and incredibly boring. I didn't care what was going to happen to any of them. John Goodman is one of the best actors of his generation and he was criminally underused in this movie.

The scene where they are in the helicopter en-route to the island is a mess. Why fly helicopters through that storm in the first place, those things would be ripped to shreds. The dialogue from Sam Jackson takes up about 2 minutes at most, yet before they get they set off in the helicopters, they clearly say that the island is some 20 miles away (if memory serves). That means those helicopters most have been travelling at 600mph, it's stupid, are we to believe that these are magical helicopters?
