text: king kong? what is your take on king kong?  did you like the movie?  is it too violent for kids under 13? the movie was decent but had several pitfalls. it takes over an hour before you see kong. the action sequences are significently longer then they need to be. jackson went way longer then he needed to.   you probably want to wait till they are 14 or 15. the scenes with the natives are pretty dicey and can easily scare young teenagers. also, there are a bunch of scenes that are startling including dinosaurs and massive insects.   but for all its action, it does have a connection between naomi watts (sp?) and kong that you don't see in most action films. my ex-girlfriend actually started crying when they starting to strafe kong.   also jack black doesn't say or do anything funny in the movie whatsoever. that was a let down.   give it a year or two before showing them and be willing to sit down for 3+ hours.
