King: Outtakes set to Millennial entertainment levels

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2017)

To be clear, I wasn't expecting Shakespeare or anything close to the 1933 version. My expectations were purely set on seeing a 104 foot Kong and losing myself into a sense of disbelief for the length of the feature. So, Kong, you get a solid 6 for that, and you delivered!
Now for the humans. << crickets >>
To be direct, every line appeared to be written and delivered in a way that made me ponder, "they had to get a better take than that, right?" While such action films are satiated with such issues, here they were highlighted for me, because I wanted to follow, capice? They had a satellite over view of the island but could have used one for the plot! They were going to meet on the north side of the island in three days because that was some original plan but they had little confidence of even penetrating the storm to start. The camera babe, has a camera in her hands but take like, what, 5 shots? Then she is saved by Kong, cajoled in his hand, but appears to have gone through the car wash grade blow dryer at the end and lazes about on the boat with a perfectly pressed generic T shirt and no memory of being in the biggest heavyweight fight since Ali-Frazier?
The editing was so focused on carnage that they missed story telling, but the story is on an island, and what happens on the island, stays on the island because we really don't know WTH happened anyway? Those Skull Crawlers can kill an ENTIRE SPECIES but for the benefit of Mr K, they just can't put that ape away?
The obvious complaints aside, I am really glad I saw this at home and will watch again, just like Titanic. For a few hours, I truly believe what I am seeing happening and can forgive the silliness of the punchline drama. It's not made for me, so got to remember that!!!
