King Kong (2005)

I watched the recent remake of King Kong tonight. I thought the editing, direction, effects and script were actually a bit disappointing, and yet I enjoyed the movie as a whole.

The giant slug sucking the guy's head off is probably the grossest thing I've seen in a movie. A few of the other effects were a bit 1960s though. It certainly dragged in the jungle, but overall the 3 hours flew by for me.

At one point I thought I recognised a place in New Zealand, and then afterwards I realised that of course it had been filmed here!
